Snowy Sunrise
It’s lovely out there this morning with a golden winter sun rising onto a snow covered landscape. Here’s the view from the kitchen window… Almost makes me want to stand there and do the washing up.

Summit Failure
After our low-level morning bike ride on Saturday morning Steve and I set our sights a little higher and the Summit of Plynlimon called. We drove along the A44 and parked at the Elvis Rock layby and then started the walk to the summit. The going was pretty tough with knee to waist deep soft...
Snowy Bike Ride
I haven’t been out on my bike for ages. There are various reasons for this, my full-suspension bike has had various mechanical issues that I’m still solving, my car won’t start and I haven’t had the time. So, it was nice to finally get out for an off-road ride yesterday, and the snow-covered landscape made...
New Years Day Walk
Like people all over the country, we made the most of the lovely winter weather and went for a walk on New Years Day. Nothing too adventurous as we had Morgan and ‘Granny’ with us so we just had a little stroll around the Ynyshir Nature Reserve. There were lots of Canada Geese on around...
Raiding the Winter Store
Looks as though we’re not the only ones finishing off the Christmas snacks. The squirrels are at it too.
Stealth Snowman
Hooray, snow at last on the coast here in Wales. It came after dark and there wasn’t much of it but Morgan and I managed to build a snowman under the cover of darkness!
Frosty Days

A Winter Sunset
Morgan and I spent the afternoon in the dunes on Sunday. Yes, our noses were cold, but it was a lovely fresh, clear day and of course very quiet. We were treated to a nice sunset too.
Winter on the Beach
The beach is lovely in winter. Quiet, relaxed and just as pretty as in the summer.
Making Xmas Decorations at Nant yr Arian
After riding in the Forest of Dean on Saturday, I had an easy ride around the Summit Trail at Nant yr Arian on Sunday morning and then met Anna, Morgan, Jo, Danny and Kai at the visitor centre to make some Christmas decorations aout of things found in the forest. I obviously needed a shower...
