We found this fabulous stove pipe hat in an antique shop today in Llangollen.
Shame the place was closed or I could now be the proud new owner of such decadent finery.
And I have just the feather for it too. ๐
If the magnificent #Froncysyllte aqueduct were to close it would be a tragedy and sadly, but rightly, seen as evidence of Britain's massive decline. Completed in 1805, it is still the highest navigable aqueduct in the world. #Tories #Cymru #Wales #Llangollen #Canal

We finally got back to where we started in Llangollen where we said our good-byes and drove home.
For those who don't know Bob, well, neither did I until after we got to Llangollen and found them in a charity shop. Bob came to join us on a 'Bears Tweet Up' and had a lovely time looking at things and waving at people on the towpath.

๐ From SP Energy Networks: Some supplies have been removed in #LL20 #Llangollen to make emergency repairs following reports of a grounded overhead line. Our engineers are now making their way to site and aim to restore power by 12:45pm. Sorry for any inconvenience.
#A5 between #Llangollen & #Berwyn has now re-opened and is passable with care.
๐ง #A5 closed between #Llangollen & #Berwyn due to #snow. Avoid the area & take extra care.
๐ฎ๐ฌ โOfficers are urging motorists travelling along the #A5 through #Llangollen to please only move when instructed to by officers.
Officers are trying their best to keep traffic moving but a number are ignoring our instructions, which, in turn, is causing further issues on the road.โ

I had the good fortune to live for a month in #Llangollen, #Wales, and visit Plรขs Newydd, the home of this wonderful couple, the 'Ladies of Llangollen'
