A Sunny Autumn Day

great blog...did you see the grave with the person that was a 105 years old? berried there....iam almost sure that this is the church and churchyard that i visited and took photos of :-) (i do not think i have the photos now) will look for them...it will be before i had a computer so it might be a challenge trying to find them... inside the church was a lot of copper and bronze ornate things (or that may have been another church) anyhow....ive enjoyed your blog...brought back some nice memory's for me...and WOW!!! you have had some really lovely bright sunny days (mornings) i was walking under some rather attractive well established Yews the other day...and thought how awesome the trunks are, i love the dark dusty wood... rivers tell a tale..do they not??

thank you.... interesting and picturesque blog...

Thank you :o) I'm glad you enjoyed the blog.
I've never seen the grave of the 105 yr old person. I'll have a look next time I go ... although it would be a job to find it because it's rather a large graveyard, and much of it is overgrown.
I agree rivers can tell us a lot. I find them mysterious, and rather frightening at times.

Beautiful scenery, Hywel,and so much nicer with a lovely blue sky,.it was the same here too..I love the different colours of the Houses..how cheering they look..I'm glad you had a nice walk in the sunshine..:o)

I do like the way you see "through" things. Your pictures jump off the page and shout 'come visit'. I'm not fond of living in hilly areas. I was brought up where I could see hills and mountains but for miles around it was relatively flat, great cycling country. Thank you for sharing. It is a shame that yews so often are the tree of choice for graveyards because people tend to think of it as a 'gloomy' tree.

Lovely blog, Hywel ..
reassuring to see there are still some blue-sky places which look peaceful, quiet and surrounded by beautiful scenery and wonderful hills ....

Its grey here and a nippy wind so seeing your lovely blue sky and beautiful scenery is a treat.
I love the street with the pretty sugar almond coloured houses

Super blog Hywel, so evocative. The colours of the trees are truly magical.
The colourful houses remind me of the little houses on Murano, the tradition says they were coloured in such a way so the fishermen could see their own homes as they headed home. I wonder if there is a tradition behind 'your' cottages?
Thank you so much for allowing me to accompany you...I really enjoyed the 'walk' :)

lovely blog. I loved seeing the blue skies and the pretty coloured houses.

Another lovely, interesting blog Hywel.I love your "walks"I think I like the last few are my fav, with the river.Not sure about the coloured houses! :-))

What a lovely crisp day you had , I can almost feel the air .
Beautiful pictures , Hwyel .

Thanks for all your comments :o) I'm pleased everyone liked my blog.
It's been grey and dull today lol

Waddy, I don't think there's a tradition of coloured houses in that street. They have only been painted like that in recent times.
Interesting about the fishermen's cottages :o)

Really enjoyed this too. The deep blue sky is a wonderful backdrop to all your lovely photos. I love the little collection of autumn leaves on the ground and the shapes of the beautiful trees.
Hope you didn't miss the bus!

Another super blog with great photos Hywel what a lovely old church and such lovely scenery...enhanced by the bright blue sky so glad you let us share your nice day out :o)

Lovely pictures . Glad you enjoyed the sunny fall day. Thank you for the tour.

Thank you all for reading my blog, and your comments :o)

No Wildrose, I didn't miss the bus lol ... and it was nice and warm on it too :o)

A lovely blog, Hywel! We love wandering around old churchyards as well. There is always something interesting to see. Llandeilo looks a lovely little place.

Lovely blog Hywel ... fabulous blue sky and such lovely Autumnal colours ... thanks for sharing your trip out ... :o)

Thank you both for reading my blog, and your comments:o))

That's a beautiful graveyard Hywel, with some grand trees. Its nice to have ancestors in a place like that. Like the others i really enjoyed the bright colours of the whole blog, especially the blue sky and red leaves.
Gralew, coloured houses are found all over this area. They often brighten up dull parts of town too.

In future days there will be travelogues that will ask - Has Hywel blogged it? - If the answer be yes, then it is worth a visit...

Great stuff.

I love your country blogs, Hywel. I love looking around churches and villages. Its nice to see all these places as I don't suppose I would ever get there to see them myself ! The weather seems to have been kind for you for your trip out ! I love the colourful houses too. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Thanks for all your comments :o) I'm pleased everyone likes my blog.

You should be named "Travelling Ambassador of Wales"! Your blogs do so much good for Wales! We get to see places that we'd probably never see in our lives. Such great scenery, beautiful old churches & bridges! Lovely views of trees & rivers not to mention the houses you show us on your blogs! :-))

Thanks for the trips you take us on around your part of Wales, Mr Ambassador! :-))

Thank you for your comment Balcony :o) I'm pleased you liked my blog.
