Back Again!

Those of your who are familiar with my posting patterns may have realised that I've been a little quiet for the last eight days.  This is because Mark and I have been on holidays.

However, before I post some pictures from our lovely break, the winner of my Giveaway is Jo from Through the Keyhole.  Congratulations!  Also a warm welcome to everyone who has stopped by and decided to become a follower recently.

Mark and I have just come back from a weeks walking in our beloved Brecon Beacons.  It's really only 'down the road' from Worcester but the area is seriously gorgeous.  This time we rented a little cottage halfway up a hillside.  The cottage was so tucked away from the real world that you had to drive the final 400 metres in a golf buggy! 

The view from every window was superb.  We stopped watching TV because it was far more interesting watching the clouds and sunlight on the hills!  This was the view from the loo....

The cottage was surrounded by lanes and tracks, while the Brecon and Monmouth canal passed below the cottage if we fancied some 'flatter' walks.  Whenever we climbed up onto the hill behind the cottage the views were superb.  It was worth the effort...

When we took a break from all this exercise I discovered a fantastic little wool shop in the arcade that leads to Brecon's Covered Market. The owner very kindly let me take a couple of pictures. The wool really was stacked to the roof on three sides of this tiny unit!

Mark and I have come home seriously chilled and feeling much fitter after all that walking.  My "new term's resolution" is to keep the walking going in the evenings after work.  Hopefully it should be easier to achieve now that the days are getting longer.
