As our daughter is here with us for a week, we had our usual pilgrimage to Hay-on-Wye yesterday. The weather at home was cool and threatening rain. Apparently at Hay, it was going to be 27 degrees. Hmmph I thought, is it?, and put one of my smarter cotton tops on and lightweight trousers. It was not my best decision of the day . . . Here is the road to Hay, between Sennybridge and Brecon, and with Pen-y-Fan in the distance.

The Rosebay Willowherb is beautiful right now - swathes of it across the countryside.
Countryside just outside Brecon.
A very misty Hay Bluff in the distance.
Clouds lifted, but the sun went behind them . . .
We arrived! And boy, was it HOT! 27 degrees. Yup . . . And I had dressed far too warmly . . .
More later. Thank you all for your kind words about Stella.
Lovely photos, especially the last one, it would make a gorgeous postcard.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it always the way of it - overdressed, or underdressed! I now keep a 'dog-walking jacket' in the car for the winter months, and in summer I wrap a light tee-shirt inside it. That way I sometimes win!
ReplyDeleteI was sorry to hear of Stella's demise, but you can take comfort in opening your kind home for her.
