A Day in the Brecon Beacons

A Day in the Brecon Beacons

Reaching the mountain top
Was a worthwhile attainment.
Aching footed and out of breath
We sat enveloped in the joy of it
While the winging larks filled
The air with their summer song.
The surrounding azure vault
Stretched away to infinity,
And we were replete with satisfaction.
Maternal ewes with attendant lambs
Roamed the green distance
While far below diminutive vehicles
Sped on their frantic, fuming way,
Leaving the hills to us.

MSK

This was such a lovely day, warm and sunny but not too hot, one of those days that live in the memory, a reminder that the recent dismal weather we have been having is unlikely to last for ever.

Alice and Jack

This is my mother, Alice, and the dog is Jack. I have been doing
my best to edit an old and damaged photo which must have been taken in
the esrly 1920s. This is the best I have managed so far. Alice died many years ago.
Jack I remember when I was a child. He was a dear old dog and he lived to be very old.

The Forth Bridge

There is always something exciting about going over this bridge.

Marmande Tomatoes

Joe grew these magnificent Marmande tomatoes in his greenhouse.
Although they are strange to look at they are sweet and delicious
with tender skins.

We are back from Scotland.
