The No.29 bus heads out of Cardiff city centre following the same route as the No.28, through Roath etc, but then does a loop around Llanishen area instead of going up to Thornhill.
I alighted near Llanishen church and headed straight into the Honeybee House Tearooms, on the off chance I may get a table in this popular venue. I was lucky and got the last one on a busy Saturday morning. They don’t do their famous honey cake any longer but Sue’s Coffee and Walnut cake was a good substitute.
I thought of complaining about the weather to the lady who served me but had noticed that Derek Brockway, the weatherman, was sat nearby so didn’t just in case he took offence. Instead I read some amusing anecdotes from Ricky Tomlinson’s Cheers My Arse!
Derek had evidently been on a Parkrun, as had many of those in the café, so inspired by their devotion to exercise I went for a walk around Llanishen Reservoir. It was such a soggy day the path around the reservoir was virtually empty.
A walk back up to Llanishen village and then another No.29 took me back into town to complete another bus-book-beverage adventure, the next one of which takes me outside the city!
