Well Jake for your information I live in Llanedeyrn, for the rest of you this is a godawful :yikes:
1970's council estate, it's one saving grace is that fifteen yards from my back gate there is a wood mostly oak some ash,beech with birch hazel around the edges. oh the edges also have discarded vcr's t.v.'s kitchen furniture black bags..............you get the idea. :?:
When i was jake's age this wood was pristine I spent many happy hours in there chasing all manner of wild life, even lay in the ferns there with my first girl ,
and every day I look at it and see the folk about treat it as a tip,fair chokes me up
However the upside is come the winter put some birdfeed out and you'll be amazed at the variety of birds that inhabit the wood.
A ten minute walk takes you to the river rhymney which in my youth ran black as ink with coal dust, now running sweet and clear even saw a kingfisher this summer.
Hope that helps Jake
