Today we visited Monmouth, a pretty town on the river Monnow, still in England (just). It was the birthplace of Henry V, so 'Agincourt began here' as the Monmouth mugs say. It was also the birthplace of C. S. Rolls. one half of Rolls Royce, who was killed in 1910 flying a Wright biplane. After lunch with Steph and Lins in Penallt, we went to Symonds Yat, famous for its view of the Wye and the resident peregrine falcons. It rained but cleared up later.
