Be Seeing You

Anybody a fan of The Prisoner? As part of our recent vacation, we visited The Village, home to the cold war’s retired spies. In reality The Village is a gorgeous little seaside resort in Wales called Portmeirion. Everywhere you turn there’s a fantastic view or a quirky little surprise.

Just, be on your toes.

 

The town square, with its fountain and its colonnades. And its palm trees.

 

That’s right, the infamous Welsh palm trees everyone raves about.

 

In the lower right you can catch a glimpse of the Stone Boat.

 

Here is No 6’s cottage (the cute round one). The interior is now the Prisoner Shop, not 6’s funky bachelor pad.

You’ll just have to imagine the marching band.

The Bandit Lord is a Welsh Corgi, so we were on the lookout for his ancestors. We did not see a single dog in all of Wales!

Now that we’re home and over our jet lag, and Jen is just about recovered from the evil lung-rot that the terrible woman on the plane infected her with, we’ve started cranking out the prose again. As you can see, we have plenty to fuel our imaginations.
