More blissful bluebells and some decorating in the Library

 


More dreamy Usk hills.



We think this may have been a discarded nest dislodged from a tree or even one which had recent occupants as there was a just-fledged Robin nearby.  





The river Usk in the bottom of this one.




I had to use my zoom lens on max to get this house tucked away amongst the trees on a slope.



At the end of our walk, we came across this canine memorial, obviously to a black Labrador who loved his walks up here. What a lovely thing to do in memory of him (or her).  I guess the dog is perhaps buried here too (ashes).


The Library as it's been since we've been here, decorated "neutrally" by the previous owners.  I cannot WAIT to get rid of those Dunelm curtains and Roman blind.  I don't do grey-lilac check.  Keith's military and naval collection live in here.


You're thinking, WOW!  Lipstick pink, right?!  This is it with the sun on it (only a glimmer, as it's been another beastly Wintry day today, with yet more rain.)



But this is how it actually looks unless there is bright sunlight, and in the evening it gets a deeper rose pink still.  Anyway, it warms the room up no end.

I am looking forward to getting the curtain material I ordered and sewing up the curtains and Roman Blind.  I  can't finish the walls at the edge of the window until the Roman blind is down.
