I labelled her "Technofloosie". However, she has come in very useful sometimes. I still like maps, though. xMrs Tiggywinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262841220840086776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201916595736418385.post-30988986479262050832017-03-18T14:53:43.804+00:002017-03-18T14:53:43.804+00:00It's funny you should say that Wendy because S...It's funny you should say that Wendy because St Trillo's grandfather, King Hoel I Mawr, is said to have been a nephew of King Arthur!

What a miracle that this chapel is active still and so cared for. You seem to have a sixth sense about places you visit that are steeped in history and things on different planes.
