Port Meirion

One of our choristers (was it John Caponegro?) described Port Meirion as "Rock City with taste." It was a field day for "Prisoner" addicts and fans. I kept wondering when I would be accosted by Violet Bucket about a candlelight supper and hand-painted periwinkles. The gardens are right out of Jurassic Park!

The inscriptions on the doggie headstones were sweet but sad. One of them made Katie cry.
