Are we nearly there yet?

Charlie planning the route to Llangollen. He plans to see Chirk Castle in northeast Wales next week.

The trees will not be in leaf, but Charlie will see the wrought iron gate-screen at the entrance to the park. It was created by Robert and John Davies of Bersham between 1712 and 1719.
Looking at that gate and the garden beyond, I think of American travel writer Bill Bryson, the President of the Campaign to Protect Rural England, who was recently quoted in the National Trust Magazine - “I genuinely feel lucky that I’ve had this long attachment to Britain. It’s a fantastic place, and my life is a thousand times richer here than if I were living elsewhere.”
Thanks to Howard for the inspiration for this post.
