On Saturday, I headed back across the border to Cmyru and the Museum of Welsh Life at St Fagans. Museum may sound a bit staid, but St Fagans is so much fun, we could have happily spent all day there. The site features buildings from different periods of Welsh history, from the Celtic tribes to farmers and miners.
Our first stop was the main farmhouse - we wanted to take a piglet back to the office with us. We then went back several centuries to explore the Celtic yurts.
Traditions are still very much alive at St Fagan's - not only can you observe historical Welsh customs, you can take part and sample the food.
I wish we could have stayed in St Fagans: there was so much to learn, and so little time! And best of all, it's free. It's definitely worth a visit while in Cardiff: you can find all the details at http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/en/stfagans/
