Okay, I'm going to try and be a bit brief for the second post today, cos I'm sure you'd appreciate the change... *g* So - my favourite highlights:

Welsh cemetery creep
2016-05-21 WelshCemeteryCreep
(I stopped cos the cemetery was in the middle of nowhere and said it was War Graves Commission, but I couldn't see any. I did find many tombstones for "Sister...", three to a gravestone, so presumably there's a nunnery nearby.) I was somewhat disturbed by the way bare earth was spilling over onto the pathways...!

Pentre Ifan burial chamber

It's Neolithic, about 5500 years old, stripped down to the stone. (Hmmn, what is it with places of the dead in Wales?!)

Much disappointment

But I fell in love with the Corres Craft Centre anyway. I'm going to make myself a stool. *g* (Well, not for a while, but I'm going to *g*)

Did you know every oak tree begins with a star? *g*

A beach...

...and a bagpiper. *g* It was lovely - I suddenly heard pipes, and when I looked around an old chap in full dress was walking down to the beach with a little girl who had her hands over her ears! When they got there, she began playing on the rocks, and he began playing the pipes, and it was lovely to hear against the waves.

Sunset over the mountains...

...and sunset over the sea. I had time for both! (And beneath that sea is a submerged forest - only visible at very low tide, but there...)

And now I am very tired indeed, and I've not even read my flist yet! Maybe if I'm up early tomorrow I can catch up... How're you all doing, though?

I loved the bagpipes - they were magical! There's something about the sound of them anyway - they were built for wide open spaces...

I couldn't work out the bare earth at all - it didn't look at all like moles, and it definitely seemed to be creeping in one direction!
