Just a couple of days after mid Winter and sitting in 14 C degrees of sunshine watching people playing on a beach...and it's in West Wales, not New South Wales...![Laugh :laugh: :laugh:](/community/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/laugh.png)
A short walk to a favourite brew spot yesterday, and a few things to note on the way. I know Moor Hens are pretty agile but I didn't know they had climbing abilities like Chris Bonington !!

After recent rainfall the water flow over this practically vertical Cill is quite fast, so I was surprised to see these two wandering along the face of the Cill feeding as if they were on flat ground.
The very old stone wall along the lane is a real sun trap and the stone work is warm to the touch. Already the Penny Wort (Navel Wort) is growing happily and a lone Daisy blooms in the reflected heat at the wall's foot.

On the high ground above the lake the Gorse blooms and gives off a sweet scent that promises Summer, a good place for a brew. There is no wind today, and here it is sheltered, the only sound is the far distant sounds of children playing on the beach.

A couple of brews and then a short walk home through the woods as the sun sets.![Thumbsup :thumbsup: :thumbsup:](/community/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/thumbsup.png)
