Mrs Tyhurst met Mrs Deeth at at 1 o'clock on Sunday and chattered incessantly (with a brief pause for sleep) until Monday at 7pm.
We were so thirsty we had to stop off at the TOAST shop in Llandeilo for fizz and Welsh cakes. Mrs Deeth poured herself a large glass and proceeded to raid the rails.
Moments later, clutching their lovely tissue wrapped purchases, the ladies calculated that they had saved their husbands over £300 with their judicious spending (sale prices and another 20% off today ! )
We continued, still jabbering, all the way to Mrs Tyhurst's small country residence near Llandysul. Sitting amidst the Bloomsbury-inspired coziness, the two continued their discussions with a short picnic tea.
In the morning - and what a glorious one too, they travelled to Wrights Food Emporium for a spot of breakfast.
Mrs Tyhurst showed her dear friend around - where one could refill one's wine bottles, buy a nice pie and so on. Despite several woes previously expressed about 'the state of the waistline' the two ladies ( by now resplendent in their new purchases) managed to deal with delicious bowls of Tartiflette.
And so onto Hay on Wye....or so they thought.
A sudden loud clanking noise caused the two to pull rather quickly into a lay by.
Mr Lord had kindly placed details for such emergencies in a little folder in the glove compartment, so no time was wasted making the necessary calls.
Luckily the two had plenty of wine and the remains of the previous evening's little picnic.
So they continued.
Yes, why not a community arts project ?
Mrs Deeth made notes.
At last we continued onwards to Hay.
We made it with just enough time to buy a dear little copy of 'Mrs Dalloway's Party' and a quick spin around the antique shop.
Then home....talking all the way.
