Grandchildrens visit to my home town of Grimsby

Had a lovely time with my grandchildren as they loved the north east coast. Pictures and comments to follow.

A trip to the lovely countryside of Mid Wales

Been away a bit so I have some more pictures to show. So watch this space.

Well I was told how lovely it is in the mountains of Mid wales starting not far from Lampeter. being on the mid to west side of Wales , the countryside is very green and lush.
As we began to ascend up to the hills I noticed a small herd of cow and I thought it would make a nice picture. Well, if I did, they looked at me and must have thought, ah ah, there`s some food gang, lets go over and see whats on offer. So, slowly and gradually the meandered over to have a look  at me. A couple at first then all of them.

So I thought I had better get on to my destination which of course was those lovely hills. I travelled on through the country lanes.got completely lost as my sat nav decided to have a blip and kept taking me round in circles, maybe it couldn`t understand the Welsh names in the area. I then did something quite different and followed the road signs which got me to my destination, which was probably the most remote
 telephone and post box in the UK.

So off now to the top of hills and see what is waiting for me. Well, I wasn`t disappointed it was absolutely magnificent.






It had been a long day so I decided to depart and go home. I will return another time and spend a few days there as there is so much more to see. On the way I did stop cos I saw some birds that I thought might make a good photograph. It was taken in the evening and I have made it into a nice black and white.
