Merry Christmas . . .

. . . and we've had a bit of rain.

This is the Towy Valley looking Eastwards towards Black Mountain.  As you can see, the flood plain is awash . . .

If you ever wondered why castles are on hills, Dryslwyn Castle gives you one good reason today!

I took about 30 photos whilst we were out, and will share them with you later on.

Meanwhile, we have been busy in the kitchen, and I made a good Arctic Roll with home made raspberry jam, and some mince pies, which were rescued just as they were looking just like they'd been on holiday to Barbados.  T made preserved orange peel so the kitchen smells really Christmassy.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and an enjoyable festive period.

    What amazing floods! So much water you can only just see where some of the river`s meanders are meant to be. It always amazes me how the watermeadow flowers of summer still reappear every year after floods like these.

    Hoping that you all have a very happy Christmas. I`m sure you will with all that delicious, traditional Christmas food!

    Wishing you and your family a most Joyous Holiday Season, BB. Your photos remind me of our little splash we had here in September. Glad you are safe.
    Much happiness to you.

    You too! Those images of the flood water are terrifying - I feel lucky to be up so high. x
