The Journey to the Birthplace of Copper

Yes. I have been down there. Seen it. Experienced it. What? The deep underground. True, I experience the underground every day, when I am travelling on the tube to work. But this, was a completely different experience. It does NOT happen to you every day. And so of course, I have to write about it here. Let me take you with me, down into the Earth's crust, down to the deep, dark, wet, underground, where Copper is born. Let me take you to the Copper mines at Llandudno in North Wales. By the way, before I start let me tell you these mines are actually from the Bronze age . . . so they have been here pretty much since the beginning of time. I am going to write a little differently, and hope that you get to experience it like I did. :)
