Hywel we were in Carmarthen at the weekend at a wedding and the reception was at Narberth. It was a beautiful day and the country side around is gorgeous, I just love your photos especially the castle & hypericum. beautiful. Thanks so much.

fantastic views! And such pretty wild flowers I love them. i bought 2 packs of wild flower seeds last year and this year with over 100 seeds in each I planted them in the middle of the front garden.and all I got was weeds :(

Hywel, what on earth have the Queens swans done to upset you????????. They are so beautiful and graceful, bit protective I know.

Lovely photos of your local area, Wales is such a lovely place.

Loved this blog and photos what a lovely place.

This is lovely,Hywel..and you have given me the answer about the lovely blue wild flower in the first pics..I saw it in a wildflower garden at a park near us,a couple of weeks ago..but there was no label,or anyone to ask..I loved it,so thank you..:o) Love the river pics and all the other wild flowers too. I have added it to my Favourites,so I can remember the name of it ...

What lovely pics Hywel - you certainly live in a beautiful area.

Great pics Hywel - love the scenery - the grasses always get my attention - love daisies also - we have the purple loosestrife- Lythrum salicaria - love the stuff too as well as the Hypereicums - love the flowers on these !!! Lovely views in your blog Hywel :)))

Thanks for all your comments and stories :o)

I don't like swans or any other birds because I've got a phobia of them - Urrrrgghhh !!
:o((( Can't stand the things :o(

Do they belong to the queen then Grannyb ? - well she can come and get them lol :D

Thanks Sandra - I'm glad I was able to help name the flowers for you :o)

I would never have known what it was,Hywel,as I have never heard of it before,or seen it .:o)

You've taken some stunning photos Hywel, you live in an absolutely beautiful area of the world! I'm very impressed with your knowledge of your local flora!

Lovely photos, Hywel! Lovely scenery too - so peaceful.

Lovely blog, Hywel, with such fabulous scenery. Will you be picking Blackberries in the Autumn then? . . . . .

There are a lot of berries on every berry bearing bush and tree this year. Have you noticed the huge crop of rowans and apples etc. I dk if that is because of the winter past or if it is a sign of another bad winter before us. We can forget the bad weather so easily when we lose ourselves in these lovely photos. I love those blue daisies. I would not mind having them in my garden and they are a great height. Thank you for the escape hour. I do look forward to your blogs.

Thanks everyone.

Scotsgran - Lots of berries/friuit mean we had good weather when the insects were pollinating the flowers. I don't think it's got anything to do with next winter.

Shirley - No I won't be picking blackberries. I always did, but no more - you've got to cook them :o(( And I don't cook things now - too much bother ! lol I just get something quick and easy :o)

lovely Hywel..... love seeing the wildflowers in the countryside....

Beautiful photos, Hywel, and stunning scenery. We're lucky in my village as we still have the railway running here :)

Lovely pics as ever Hywel :)

Lovely blog and pics Hywel.
My young Granddaughter planted Wild Flowers in the back garden. I've had a fantastic selection of mixed flowers, but only know what a few of them are, like the poppies and the cornflowers.
The mixture of colours I've had are beautiful. Only trouble is, when I let her scatter them, I didn't think anything would come of them.
Now they seem to have taken over the bottom half of the garden, with more still popping up here and there. lol.

Another smashing blog Hywel, I love to see all the wild flowers and you certainly have plenty near you..

hywel love , you dont have to cook blackberries ........ just give them a gud wash ........... and eat . yum ... nice with icecreame

Another great blog on wildlife, Hywel! I'd love to be able to have scenery like that! All we've got are the backs of the rows of houses on the other side of the road! :-((

It's a shame you have a phobia of birds :-(( There are some very pretty ones around & I love to see Swans on the river here. If I see them I always go down to the water's edge! I love to see the Blackbirds & thrushes as well as the Robins following me around the allotment. But I suppose for you that would be like Hitchcock's film called "Birds"!

I don't know why you say you have to cook Blackberries, I eat them straight from the bushes! I can make myself almost sick by scoffing them! But then the same goes for almost any fruit!

Beautiful colourful wild flowers, and what stunning views my favourite is the river views I adore them. Great you found the bee s nest

Doesn't mother nature do a grand job when left on her own? one of my favourite flowers is the Ox eye daisy and the scentless mayweed reminds me of it, lovely blog Hywel and what a lovely part of the country you live in :o)

I like to look at the wild flowers an imagine there garden cousins.
