A lovely day out

 

Tam, Rosie & Jon were a little late arriving, so I had enough time for a lovely walk on the beach at Borth.  The last time we were there was in memory of Keith, last July.  My new (bright purple!) trainers were SO comfortable and money well spent.

There were several Cormorants drying out on the rocks.

Isn't this sweet?  Such a lovely seaside blue paint too.

This is Marin, who was a petting bunny and such a sweetheart.  Rosie loved the bunnies.

I've forgotten her name, but this was a little Rosetted Guinea Pig.

Rosie feeding just the prettiest bunny, with tufty ears.

Not so sure about those big horns, Daddy!

She had the slide to herself and wasn't resting that leg at all, as she wanted to climb the steps, but Daddy stepped in and lifted her up instead.  There was a little Wendy house at the top and Rosie went inside and was selling us ice cream!!

It was a lovely day out, and just right for a 2nd birthday.  We had ice cream too.  Rosie's now big enough to - almost - eat one by herself.

On the way home I stopped at St Curig's Church in Llangurig - something I have been intending to do for months.  I will do a post about that tomorrow.

I've just made the Compost Heap jelly - gosh, it set SO quickly with all the pectin from the citrus.  Made just under two jars.  Lumpy - wouldn't win any prizes - but so tasty and costing just pennies for the sugar and heating it.

I heard yesterday that one of my Hampshire cousins has just suddenly died.  He was in his late 60s.  So I had to pop out for an In Sympathy card for his family.  So sad.

A dusting of Wednesday's snow on the mountains as I drove through. I can't wait for spring to arrive properly.  It is warmer out, and the very slightest mist of green of developing leaves on trees, whilst the Horse Chestnuts by the bridge at Llanelwedd are actively opening theirs.  They are always early.

Back to work now.  Have a lovely weekend all.
