Postcard Travels with Roland Poland - Week 7 Wales

Roland Poland, our little Jack Russell terrier, is this week accompanying  his benefactor, Mr. Xui Xong of the Chinese Trade Delegation on a visit to a welsh slate mine.  They are considering importing the slate into China for use on prestige buildings as welsh slate is the best in the world.  Roland writes to his half-brother Malcolm.  He is rather peeved.

Hi Malcolm,
Tricked again!
First no gravy on the gravy train and now no rabbit in the Welsh Rarebit.  Just posh cheese on toast.
Will try to get up to see you if I can.
RP

Here is the page I made for Roland Poland's travel book.
Thank you very much for the lovely kind comments we have received.  We love visiting you and reading all your stories.
My card and the book have been stamped with images from Elusive Images.

    And I thought the gravy train bit was hilarious! hahahaha! I hope the next country provides him with a better gastronomic experience. Although I could go for some posh cheese on toast about now!
