The new header shows the very bottom flanks of Carneddau, which we can see from here.
I decided to crack on with our bedroom again yesterday, and so cleared out one corner, painted the dado rail and the skirting board, and then set to with the beautiful wallpaper I bought back in late spring (Dunelm). I wanted something which was a dichotomy to the sky blue above.
The paint above was patchy in places so I gave it another coat (up as far as the painting) and the right hand corner totally. I need to go along with a very small brush to make it even along the rail. (I'm a perfectionist). The bit (below) where there was a shaving light needs another coat too.
Doesn't it look tidy? This was before my bits and bobs went back on the chest of drawers and Keith's everyday clothes on his old Windsor chair.
Back home, late afternoon, after going to Brecon Militaria Fair and absolutely FREEZING as there was no heating in the stone walled market building. It was lovely to see old friends though and it cheered Keith up no end.
A close-up of the hillside in the photo above. It's to the left of the Quarry at Llanelwedd.
On the way back from Brecon, I pulled into the layby to finally get some photos of Aberedw rocks, where Tam and I intended to explore this summer. Then she met J and has been away every weekend, so we've not had much chance. Perhaps in the spring we can get up there.
My head was full of beautiful descriptions of the scenery as we drove home, but those have fled and I'm too tired to try and recall them. I intended to concentrate more on writing once we had moved, but life has gotten in the way.
A new book started today, a re-reading of Phil Rickman's "The Heresy of Dr Dee", which I can heartily recommend. I hope his new book is out soon - after his stroke we fans have had a long wait but it's at the publishers now. Any other fans out there (I think you are RR?)
