My mother kindly dropped Margaret and I on the Wentlooge road. We walked towards Newton, then over some fields down to the sea defences. The walk to Newport was simple – no trespassing that we were aware of! We survived on home-made sandwiches till we got to the pub in Duffryn in Newport later in the day.
Near Peterstone Gout, a steam engine was on the sea wall and looked as if it was being used to drag some inland pools of silt and dump it in the sea. Further along, a bulldozer was mending the sea defences – a reminder of the past winter storms. After a pint of Guinness (a steep £1.40 a pint!) we walked past the Inmos works before catching a bus back to Cardiff. We did however have to wait an hour for it to arrive. It conveniently dropped us at the bottom of Colchester Avenue. We played eye-spy at the bus stop while we were waiting – Margaret cheated by choosing the word graffiti!
