    How do you find all those quaint pubs??

    Maybe you should open up one yourself!

    Derek, is that the Pontsticill with a reservoir close by the Brecon Mountain Railway? If so, I was there when we came to stay at Llamhamlach a couple of years ago - but I don't recall that super-looking pub!

    By the way, PLEASE send us that rain if you don't want it! We've had none, other than an hour of drizzle a week ago, for months. Our water authority is dangerously close now to imposing water rationing - it has obtained the power to do so from central government - and watering the garden with household waste water is just not doing much good.

    Great pics Derek. You and Elaine certainly get your share of healthy exercise, and in a very scenic area.

    Ham .. you are quite correct, the reservoir is right alongside the Brecon Mountain Railway. You would have gone right past Y Buwch Coch to get there. Shame you missed it Ham, you would have all enjoyed it there. Here's some piccys of the train I took on Thurs as well.





    Blu .... Finding old little pubs (especially in remote areas) is something that myself and Elaine and her Dad enjoy doing. Were off for a pub lunch today at an old Inn .. will post a pic of two of that later.
