The No.50 has a similar route to the No.49 except that it goes clockwise around Llanrumney rather than anti-clockwise. As were drove around Llanrumney the driver started making announcements that the bus would terminate at the ‘top shops’ rather than continue back to town. I never did work out why. I think there was some driver training going on. Everybody on the bus seemed to understand the phrase ‘top shops’ and in the end it dawned on me that they were the sops on Countisbury Avenue, where I was heading anyway. That was lucky.
I chose to have my lunch in the lively Ford Café. Their Spanish Omelette with a cup of tea hit the mark.
My book for the day was ‘Why We Get Sick’. A good scientific read with lots of theories on different topics though not necessarily all taken from peer reviewed publications so some had to be approached with caution. It was a bit of a shock after reading the book to exit the cafe and find a car with a skeleton in the front seat.
I walked from there back down to Llanrumney Hall over the greenery and popped in to have a quick chat about some local history. The No.50 I then caught luckily took me all the way back into town.
