West Wales

Some photos from our recent trip to Wales. A nice time with old chums Linda and Ivor in Dolgellau. Stayed in the usual B&B and enjoyed trips to Barmouth, Bala and Ruthin.

Nice walks down the country lanes - picking black berries and to the Torrent for a picnic. etc. To Fairborne for an ice cream on the windy beach. Lots of nice meals and chats with our hosts and their menagerie.

Walk To River Dane

This mornings walk to the Community Orchard and the fishing ponds. No bread this time but the duckies kept following us around the pond looking hopeful. Very sunny and warm. Brught blue sky. Good to get out before it got really hot. The maize is gettig quite high now. High as an elephants eye. Home for collaging and lunch.

Walk Behind The Tip

Nice walk behind the tip down the Old Warrington Road. Lots of runners but we managed to avoid them. Saw some fun guys. Lots of dogs. Trod in some poop. Duh! Afterwards went to tip to dump some garden waste and an old printer. Exciting eh?

Blakemere

This mornings browsing round the local antique emporiums looking at all the stuff we couldn't afford and had no room for anyway. Hazel bought a wooden file box to store her notebooks in for £15 ( haggled down from £20). Home in time for lunch.

Birthday Weekend

Hazel's sister's birthday yesterday and Hazel's today ( also our 13th wedding anniversary ) so lots to celebrate. Nice to have Archie and Meriel here to celebrate too. We sat in the summer house yesterday and tried on silly hats.

Community Orchard

This afternoons walk around the fishy ponds and community orchard with Hazel Jones and old chums Tone and Pene. Had a nice lunch and a do-it-yourself trifle. Needed a walk to help reduce the waistline after all those calories! Ducks and coots doing well. Slight drizzle but very muggy.

Walk Down Warrington Road

This mornings walk down the Old Warrington Road after going round the town. Posted some mail. Checked out the charity shops - zilch! Not a sausage. Hazel got some aubergine pickle from the asian shop - yum! Cushions and nibbles etc. Lots of bees and other flying things. Nice to be cooler. Heat is not for us. Come lovely drizzle and try and spoil our day - its not possible!
