Hello Mudcatters, To get a start on my much needed British education, what is a chippie? And where in Wales is Llanfair? Is it near Shrewsbury?

Bill, do you and Sam and Patrish plan to camp? If so, I think I better try to get a bed or a room somewhere. I'll have a mid-size suitcase, small bag and a fiddle. Will there be room??

See you all in a week! Thanks from a Yank (or is that a bad name?), Linda from Portland, Oregon, US

P.S. I'm bringing a minidisc recorder if anyone would like to get themselves recorded for posterity. It's only for personal use, probably isn't professional quality, but it's really teensy and transportable.
