I had a really LOVELY morning, exploring Aberedw (church, motte and bailey castle and then Llewellyn's cave) with friend Pam. Amazed that I could manage the quite steep hills, esp. after not exercising much during these heat waves. Cave was brilliant (HAD to see that because it stars in the new Barbara Erskine book, The Valley of Ravens).
I will answer all your lovely comments tomorrow - am off to bed now (8.40 pm!) as spent all afternoon preparing for tomorrow's fair, watering round etc. I didn't even bake - so the people I share a room with tomorrow will be disappointed. Although I do have a Lemon Drizzle cake in the freezer . . . I will leave you with one photo of the cave, from the outside . . . Billy, church it ain't but it used to be home for hermits, so has a religious connection and lots of fabulous graffiti . . .
Good on you, I've not been to it yet, I did have a good poke around the castle though, shame the railway used a load of it as ballast. I have been to the church a couple of times but not the cave and to be honest I was not sure where it was when I first went. Next time I'll try but never sure where to park. Are you going to climb Aberedw next?
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes well for you at the fair today with plenty of customers .
ReplyDeleteI reckon your blog wasn't updating itself on my computer, as I've just read three posts I hadn't seen. The very idea of wasps in the walls gave me the heebie-jeebies! Do you need a professional to smoke them out, or is there an easier (and cheaper) way? And Poor little Rosie! Two accidents so close together - no wonder she cried! We're in the middle of a very cold spell of winter weather, so I"m enjoying your summer posts.
ReplyDeleteThat looks fascinating, you are so lucky to live near Wales and all its treasures. You know you wont stop blogging you love churches so much;) even if they are rock shelters sometimes.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see more pictures, it sounds fascinating. Good luck at the Fair, I always enjoy those pictures too. My husband volunteers in a charity shop on Mondays. Recently filling in on other days he discovered that every day except Mondays baking is brought in by fellow volunteers. He is seriously considering changing his day! I could send some with him I suppose but I already have my own volunteer activities and not sure I want to extend myself further. He has started picking up some biscuits on his way in but twice now they have been devoured before he got one for himself. Further insult, obviously there is a need not being met.
