Local flooding

We had to pop across to Ammanford yesterday afternoon, after we'd viewed the auction in town and I took a few photos on the way. This one is the view across the Towy at Dryslwyn Castle, where it regularly takes to the flood plain (remember recent photos?)

Our river in spate - it was a couple of feet lower than it had been earlier in the day.

It's been worse than this on a lot of occasions in the past.

From my favourite vantage point on the bottom lane.

Looking across the Towy valley from a hilltop . . .

From Dryslwyn Castle car park.

The watery setting sun made for atmosphere.

Looking downstream towards Carmarthen.

Black Mountain is already snow-covered, and of course the Brecon Beacons generally are under a good covering.  If the weather abates sufficiently for us to go to the big Fleamarket at Malvern on Sunday, I shall take photos when we get to Brecon . . .

Dryslywn Castle watches impassively - a scene it has seen hundreds of times before . . .

One of my favourite photos - the sun was being very obliging!

So, if all goes very quiet here, you will know we are waiting for BT to restore our line . . . AGAIN!  Let's hope this hurricane they have promised us side-steps our bit of West Wales, but looking out of the window I have my reservations . . .

Keep safe everyone.
