Another pic from today. A simple green lane in dappled sunlight. #FootpathFriday

Sorry if I’ve missed anything. Hope everyone is ok 💚

Here’s lil bun to say hi (between mouthfuls of dandelion).

I’ve been lambushed!

This rather contemporary stained glass window in a church in Carmarthen stood out for me. I mostly just admire them for the way light comes through and their artistry, rather than the subject (being not at all religious myself), but this was a bit different.

#FensterFreitag

Haven’t had one of these for a while.

#WaterfallWednesday

Well that was much needed! My first walk on the beautiful Ceredigion coast…and actual sunshine!

#FootpathFriday #Walking #Cymru

After some wind and rain…and some more wind and rain…we had a very short intense thunderstorm this afternoon complete with hail. Lightning appeared to strike the ground in the field opposite (hope the sheep are ok) and we lost power and internet briefly. This was followed by glorious sunshine. All very weird. The ephemeral stream ‘alongside’ the footpath was in full flow. It nearly overtopped my wellibobs.

Just had a break from stuff to have a quick walk around the block. We’re in the centre of a good public path network…on the map anyways - I’ll be taking my secateurs and pruning saw next time! But there was this beautiful old lane, and sheep ofc.

There was a beautiful sunrise somewhere on Friday, but sadly I didn’t get to see it on my early morning potter around Merrivale - just its faint glow through the thick cloud sitting over Dartmoor.

A fascinating place with its Bronze Age complex of stone rows, stone circles, menhir and burial cairns, alongside remains of a medieval settlement, tin-mining activities, and more modern quarrying.

Laaaaammbb! Amongst the usual white woolly sheep on the moor this morning was a herdwick ewe and this little one.

There haven’t been enough #SheepOfMastodon recently (imo) so here’s a pic from a walk the other week, while there were still a few chonky lambs about.
