So where do I get my 'I've been to Undy' badge?!

by pollygarter @ Wednesday, Sep. 12, 2007 – 20:05:27

I had reason to go to Caldicot today (Didn't get chance to see castle though ) and got quite excited as I realised I'd be driving through Undy. Was disappointed not to see blue plaque dedicated to BlogUK's noted photographer, though...

I have a friend of a friend who lives in Undy and looked absolutely terrified when I pounced on him and said 'Tell me all about Undy'. He said it was very nice and it sort of carries on from Magor... And today I drove through and it seemed...very nice and it sort of carries on from Magor...

Not sure if Vinegar Hill is in Magor or Undy, but intriguing name.

Undies and vinegar; the mind boggles. That's not a place as well, is it

PS There's a switch off facility on birthdays but a lawyer could riddle the wording on the blog to link people to it, with holes. Blog democracy 98% alive and well methinks.

    I'll leave you with the U & V together with the heavy breathing of Jane Birkin and Serge Ginsbourg.

Vinegar Hill is in Undy: the name derives from the Roman vineyards that were once planted there.

You could only have been a stone's throw from me if you were driving past Vinegar Hill... oh and in the village it's genarally known that we tidy types in Undy don't associate with the riff-raff from the other side of the brook.

(The brook divides the villages of Magor and Undy)

  I did wonder about the 'other end' but didn't like to say...

    Wish I'd known you were going to be about - I'd have put the kettle on... ...of course it wouldn't have suited me!

I seem to recall a huge tree?

Undy the spreading chestnut tree!

Dear oh dear that must be the worse one yet? Conkers and bonkers eh?
