Well, when in Wales...

  3. If a picture's worth a thousand words, consider yourself ahead, and don't worry. The words will be there when you're ready, and we'll be here to listen when you speak. In the meantime, your photos are wonderfully beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

  8. I am a little jealous of your hiking environment, with all the history that can be found in the "Old World." Hope you can find the words again someday, I'm sure you will. In the meantime, the pics will work!!

  11. Your pictures certainly let all of us know who have never been to your country side how beautiful it is there. "Every picture tells a story."

    Could it possible be another Bog Monster? We will be waiting to see!

  12. And beautiful pictures they are too - thanks for sharing them. They bring back some great memories of walking the Offa's Dyke path, but I was only passing through then - I didn't get to know it as intimately as you do.

    Keep up the good work - it's all appreciated.

    All the best

  14. Beautiful photos! (as usual)

    In answer to your question you left on my blog, I am a lot of Welshness. My Dad's family are from Pontrhydyfen and my Mum's father is from North Wales (...so that probably explains my love of sheep and daffs. (also partial to pikelets, bara brith, leeks and rugby!!) My brother and I have good welsh names.
    Cymru am byth and all that malarky! :-)

  15. Hey John. Thanks for the tour. I went out on the website you put out there for Bob Mc and found it interesting that it blew down. Must get some nasty storms that will blow down a rock building.

  17. Thank you for the scenic walk, it is beautiful there! Old world charm, butterflies, and daffodils...a far cry from the snowy plains of South Dakota right now! Here the geese are keeping us entertained. Have a great day!

  21. Stumbled across your blog by 'blog tangling' via Froog's manor! Such beautiful pictures. Can understand your melancholy - the 'black dog' cares not as to whom he decides to bite on the a**e. Hope your surroundings and Mama Nature help in some small way to act as a salve to your troubles. Look forward to reading more soon.
