As you can see, the wee bit of snow we had was more like cold dandruff than snow! It soon melted once the sun was on it. I started off wearing two pairs of gloves but by the end of the walk I was warm enough (in the sun) to manage with bare hands.
The lane leading to the bridleway gives nice views across the Towy valley. You can just about see Paxton's Tower on the horizon on the far right of the photo.
To the left of the previous photo, I managed to get into a muddy gateway and take this distant photo of Dryslwyn Castle.
The start of the bridleway.
Looking across a very poor bit of grazing (lots of sour reedy wet pasture like this in Wales) towards the ridge overlooking Brynamman to the East and the Towy Valley and Llandeilo to the West. A flock of starlings centre stage.
The beautiful snow-clad Carmarthen Fans (e.g. Black Mountain).
Heading back towards home now. A nicely-restored farmhouse which once stood neglected and empty for years. Ty Coch farm is just beyond it.
The last remaining bit of snow higher up above Llanfynydd.
Gorse - flowers all year round: "When gorse is out of bloom, kissing's out of fashion!"
Now you see where the header came from! The light was amazing across this wet field.
A few more photos to follow tomorrow. I need to get back to my Twister table topper and slip-stitch the back of the binding in place and sew on 36 buttons to hold it together . . .
