We met this Shetland Pony and her foal on the walk so I am sure everybody will agree this makes a lovely photograph.
Another birthday so another walk. This time we did the 12 mile stage of the Roman Wall walk from Walton to Carlisle. A fairly easy stage without many hills which was just as well as almost 3 weeks of no walking made me a wee bit unfit. By the end of the 12 miles my feet were a bit sore but it was a lovely dry day, although we should have walked it the opposite way as we were walking into a strong wind all day. The day will finish with Dinner at the Buccleuch Centre and then a concert with the Searchers. What more can an old man ask for. Answers on a post card.
Bowman really enjoyed it as well as there were plenty of kissing gates and no stiles so he did not have to be lifted over any of them.
Over a year ago our friends Doreen and Norman bought this bungalow in the small South Wales village of Pen-Y-Fai and they have spent the last year getting it modernised. They have done a great job and only the garden area is to be completed but with a bit of luck and a good summer this should be finished this year. We took the opportunity to spend a long weekend there and this time we were lucky with the weather as it was very pleasant.

We spent Saturday at a Welsh Folk Museum which was real value for money. Free entrance and a superb collection of old Welsh cottages, shops, farm buildings, and a Castle and Gardens.
This was the small garden of an old Welsh Cottage with the old dry toilet at the foot of the garden and of course Gaye would try it out.
