Half past four on Tuesday.
We were down on the shore at Thurstaston - a ten minute drive from home.
Inca loves it here, and careers round like a big puppy instead of the sedate seven year old lady that she has become lately. It gives her opportunities to get wet, which is her very favourite thing to do.
We caught the last rays of the setting sun, bathing the whole world in a golden glow.
Although we haven't had any snow, it has been very cold.
The lake at the Visitors Centre was frozen solid.
On Wednesday we were in North Wales, near Betws y Coed, and visited Fairy Glen. This is a hidden gem of a pretty gorge tucked out of the way, but easily reached down a twisty path. Apparently, it was very popular with Victorian tourists. We had the place to ourselves .... not another soul in sight.
When the sun was out, it was warm enough for our first picnic of the year.
Inca had her eye on those chicken sandwiches.
This was a lovely place, and we wondered, yet again, why we'd never been before.
Our next little walk took us into fields with views of the Snowdon range,
looking magnificent all covered in snow.
We had come to find the Neolithic Burial Chamber at Capel Garmon ...
... and here it is.
No big signs to it, no fuss.
It is just here, in a farmer's field -
pretty much undisturbed, over two and a half thousand years after it was constructed.
How cool is that!
You would never chance upon it, if you didn't have a map.
It was lovely to see bright blue skies, even if was pretty cold.
But with Snowdrops are out at last, Spring must be just around the corner.
Fingers crossed.
Lovely photos Kathy, you had a lovely day in North Wales and those sunset photos are gorgeous! xxx
ReplyDeleteHello, having been inspired by Postcards from the PP and then missing it, I have just started to blog from The Wirral too. I just happened to check in and here you have posted about Thurstaston, we were there on Saturday. My photos are not nearly as nice as yours though. It's lovely to read that you and Mr B are ok xx
