Castell Coch

Last Sunday some of us spent the day in the beautiful Castell Coch. In 1875 William Burgess was commissioned by the Marquis of Bute to build a medieval style fantasy on the site of an ancient castle.







The children saw a very authentic looking Sion Corn.

The Bluebell Wood

 Last Saturday I went for a walk in a nearby wood with one of the 10 year old grandsons. It was a lovely day and we found some very interesting wildlife.

          



I love the sea but there is something about rivers that is very special. To be among the trees by a river is just wonderful. We had a stone skimming competition and of course Leo won.

There were quite a few orchids spread about the woods.





When the sun went in my phone took rather dull photos. I need to investigate and see if it is possible to adjust the settings.


Leo resting.
He was carrying a large piece of quartz rock which he found by the water. The walk home is about a mile and mostly up hill.
