Monmouth Town and Raglan Castle

On the way back from holiday stopped off at Monmouth a lovely town by the river.






The Boys Grammar school such an impressive building.

Then this week my Son and I visited Raglan Castle in Newport Wales what an amazing building, so sad huge areas have been distroyed.






I find the fact that there are fire places are suspended on the second floor with such detail involved. 



Managed to get in a little knitting too.



Botanical Gardens day 2

Just sharing a few final images of an amazing holiday in Wales.


This was the Japanese garden was so tranquil. 







So many pretty purple flowers




Then we have the yellow and orange clash.





Some beautiful sculptures. 







Finally some incredible ancient stone carvings.

Rhossili and Wormshead

I have wanted to visit the Gower estuary for a long time and today was the lucky day.  Oh my goodness it did not disappoint!




Rhossili beach is just stunning. I love the little cottage tucked away on the hillside, that must have the most mesmerising views.

As you walk around there are free roaming animals, not sure why they are partly shorn sheep though?


As you walked a short distance you were greeted with the view of Wormshead.


You can walk across, but be warned if you get your timing wrong you'll be on the rock for a long time till the tide subsides!


As you walk around the headland you are very aware of the erosion happening.


The area is surrounded by the most beautiful flowers too. 



We had the most spectacular knitting spot too.


On the way back we stopped off at Arthur's Rock which is an amazing stone on top of the moorland and the views are spectacular.




Let me know if you enjoy reading my blog as I love to share my images. 

WWT Llanelli

For those who follow my blog will know I am a huge fan of the WWT.  I visit my local one at least four times a year.

So it would have been amiss not to pop into the Llanelli one which was only a few minutes from where we were staying.

This site is twice the size of Slimbridge and far less "managed". I was told Slimbridge is man made, but this site was carved out of the surroundings already there.








I even managed a spot of knitting.
