Welsh Castles IV – Powis Castle

Welsh Castles III – Carreg Cennen
Carreg Cennen is stunningly situated on a bluff on the edge of the Brecon Beacons. It’s a favourite spot of ours and I think that this is our fourth visit. TBH inexplicably puts herself in the stocks. An Archer’s view. … Continue reading

I was sitting with S in his room as he drifted off to sleep, reading, perhaps appropriately, ‘Cosmic Imagery’ by John D. Barrow a great book to dip in to on just such an occasion, when that call went out … Continue reading

Enchanter’s Nightshade
A walk from home around Haweswater. We used to live nearer to Haweswater and often walked around it. Now, although I still walk that way from time to time, I tend to think of it as a bit far for … Continue reading

Bittersweet and Bartsia
Another short walk with TBH. (Children once again tearing lumps out of their Grandparents.) We went to the Wolfhouse Gallery and didn’t find what we were looking for, but the walk was very fine. On the way back we went … Continue reading

Rainbow over the Bela
TBH and I had been in Kendal (looking at oak flooring if you must know) and had intended to squeeze a short walk in on the way home. The weather was very changeable – sunshine and showers – a rainbow … Continue reading
