| | | Spring has sprung
We decided to go for a nice long walk on Sat. The only people who could join us were my mother and our friend Hil.
It was a glorious day, and the green green grass of home was certainly green in Wales.
The first pic took not long after we got off the bus 
It was'nt long before we passed a typical welsh upland hill farm. 
In this pic is the father, son and grandson who work the farm 
Could'nt resist taking this pic en route

Waiting for the bus to come come home .... The sun was so hot I has to borrow Elaines cap. 
It was a good day out walking ( & drinking n eating in the pub).

Great photos. Lucky you to escort three lovely lassies. I've been from Portsmouth to Inverness, but never took the detour to the dragon country of Wales.
We have a dusting of snow on the ground as I type. I look forward to warmer kilt weather.

Wonderful pics. Thanks for sharing. I love the stone building and the sheep. Sights just not available where I am from.
