Yesterday visiting Roath Park in Cardiff.

That's a nice place to visit, Interesting to see the flower bed.

Many years ago when I was little my mother had a cousin who went to live in Cardiff and I remember going to visit her - Roath park was near where she lived.
We went on a boat on the lake but I didn't want my mother to come because I thought she was fat and would make the boat sink ! :D (I was about 10 yrs old at the time)

My mother laughed and was glad of an excuse not to come on the boat because she didn't like them anyway ...
Roath park always makes me think of that :D

How funny Hywel..I'm pleased it brought back some early childhood memories..
The park has changed very little really. There is a bigger cafe and restaurant.

Julia, how lovely to read this blog which just shows that GoY is now allowing it. Your photos are lovely.

Thank you so much Shirley...yours was successful toox

Looks like a good place to visit, Ty. for sharing with us.
Love Hywel’s tale about his visit when small. Surely his poor Mum was not that fat! I bet she was glad to get out of the boat trip though:-).

Lovely looking place to visit, Julia. Pleased you enjoyed your time there.

I enjoyed looking at your blog, but wondered why it hadn't come up on my page and found it through "garden blogs".
I am wondering now if my photos hadn't come up on your page either!
At least you were able to do a blog with pictures and wish I had tried it now instead of putting so many photos on!

I think Rose it may be because I have you as a favourite that I can see your photos and blogs...check if I'm on your favourite list.

I've never been to Cardiff but if I ever did that would be a lovely place to take a walk, the flower beds look amazing, thankyou for explaining the history of the lighthouse....
Lovely blog and photo's Julia..x

Cardiff is a very pleasant city Lincs.we lived there for many years..the city centre is the 5th best in the world...Roath Park is outside the centre in a residential area.So pleased you enjoyed the blog...thank goodness GoY are on the up now...hope you are doing ok x

when Elizabeth was at Uni [Newport] and Victoria on work placement [Bridgend] we would visit this park when we went to stay with them.

lovely blog thank you

I meant to add Julia that the lake reminds me of the lake in Diss in Suffolk.

That's interesting Eileen,I doubt it has changed much over the years.
Great Rose!

My son in law works for the River Waveney Trust and helps the volunteers at the mere in Diss. They live 3 miles away and what I find weird is it has a Suffolk postcode [Ipswich] but is in Norfolk. The Waveney is the boundary so Dan nips over the county lines several times every day. I agree photo of the lake does look like mere.
