Brwm Brwm to Bryngarw Park.....#1

Enjoyed that brill blog and photos, thanks very much.

Wonderful pics. Great captions :o)

Thanks both. The final installment will be on tomorrow!

Most entertaining ,thanks..

So impressed with your wood carving oddbillie, in half an hour.... I'm in awe :-)))

Yeh thanks BB. And I missed the first 15 minutes of the lesson due to looking to being stuck in the toilet!! But you soon catch on to it...80)-

Thanks LL

thanx for the tour OB, great shots and what lovely area, must have been so peacefull

Lol....great blog as usual OB :))

It was SB and at one point we sat on a small seat on the side of the path, in the middle of all the trees - no-one about that early - and just sat....and listened....nothing but the birds singing and water running in the river.....heaven!

We're going to try and go back in each of the four seasons to photograph the changes and we'll now be looking for more places to visit - time off together, permitting!

Loved the trip Ob thanks for taking us, looking forward to the second part. (I see Brucie got in on the act again)

Thanks CD.

yes Bob. He seems to follow me round!! Ironically, that's the irst thing I said when I saw...sorry, carved it!! 'Orite my love!'

Great blog, & amazing pics AGAIN, Dan!
Thanks, I really enjoyed that walk, but the wasp freaked me out!
Loved that twisty grove & the wierd plant! Wonder what it is???
Anyway, a tour de force, encore!

Thanks MP. There were loads of those 'white' wasps flying around but totally disinterested in us. Just in and out of those weeds constantly so no real threat there.

Some great trees and shapes all round but can't put everything in a blog!!!

:~))))))
Looks like you had a great day!

Only a couple of hours MP but it got us out of the house!

The old limbs are slowly starting to 'come down' from their shock at 3 weeks usage so looking forwward to getting some money for the next stage.

80)-

I know the feeling! I'm in the process of setting up a website to sell my jewellery & flowers & stuff!
It is backbreaking work, setting the garden up! I'm nowhere near done with even the layout, but it all comes down to affording each step!
So it's back to work on Monday for you!
I'm back the following week, then Uni on 7th Sept!!

Is the Uni thing running alongside your job for the 4 years, Marie?

yeh, not looking forward to going back but gotta pay the bills and until we win that elusive lottery, well, gotta keep going!!

will be lovely to go back in the 4 seaons OB and see whats happening and what changes there are, look forward to next pics :o)

Well they're separate,Dan, but I'll still be working! Gotta get plant money somehow!!
But I've decided to go on to the relief staff. Better wages, fortnightly pay & I'm not tied to a rota!!
Damn! I knew there was something I went to the shop for! My lottery ticket! Came back with bread!!!!!!
I second that, San!

go get your ticket mari, you may be a millionaire, please remember us if you win lol

Will do!!!

Sorry M, that's what I meant. Doing Uni as well as working :0) Great if you be on more money as well.

Go for it girl AND the lottery ticket!!

I got first dibs on any win as well SB. They owe me a fortune in refunds through non-winning tickets over the years!! :0(

Hee hee!
AND on relief, I get to choose whether to work or not!!
That way I can make sure I have SOME time for the garden & the crafts!

That's the way!!

:~))))))))

think we have only had a couple of £10 wins and one which was about £40, over god knows how many years OB, but cant stop just incase the numbers come up lol

That's about right SB! lol!

I do all ours online as we were always forgetting to get tickets due to shifts and what not so now I pay for up to 8 weeks upfront and get an email from camelot the week my last ticket is up.

Much easier for us and we so want to win so we can give up work, move to a nice house in the country with a HUUUUUGE garden that we can make ours from scratch!!

Oh, the thought of it........

Ssssshhhh!
Sounds like heaven!! I REALLY want to move back to the countryside!!

The problem is, we've just got back on the property ladder and so will be paying off this mortgage until we retire!

We're not greedy, just a lotto win enough to pay off the mortgage and a little nestegg would do us. We could still work doing other things but.....well, you gotta be in it to win it, as they say!!

Staying down the the daughter's tonight for drink and takeaway. Should be fun! :0)~

No pints this week tho, before a certain someone says owt!!

oh yes OB what a lovely thought, i dream about it all the time, but think thats all it will ever be, just a dream :o(

But it's the dreams and talking about them that keeps us ticking SB.....

Still, it would be nice for them to become reality once in a while...

Now, did you mention pond last week!!!

'BAZ!'

lol mari, we had the pond conversation lastnight mari, dont think he will budge on that, so may just have to make it myself he he , baz says it will just be more clutter in the garden and more electricals,you know what they are like , if its not their bag they aint interested, now if it was something for his old cars thats another story :o)) lol

That was Dan who asked you about the pond!
BUT, yeah, girl, you go for it! You shoulda found a way to make him think it was HIS idea! Leave it a while, & say "You know that pond you were talking about putting in for me........."
Usually works!

lol mari,, oops so it was, i was soon asleep after typing that, sorry OB, just so tired, brain on melt down here . yes im going to wait a while like you said mari,,, was you that said it wasnt it lol

Yep! It was me! LOL

A lovely blog.You have really got to grips with that camera now! The gnarled tree trunks very impressive,and wildlife photos excellent.Thank you for sharing.

Great blog, amazing photos. Loved your wood carving - a new career for you, perhaps?? Going to read Part 2 now.

Probably not Elke! Be great if I was that skilled though eh?

Thanks for the kind comments :0)

Great blog, but not so sure about the carving - less wrinkles would have been better (and easier).

Wasnt it a self portrait?

Was it? Whoops, I think I've put my foot in it - again!!

LOL!!! Not that he's admitting to!! ;~)

Winning the lottery does happen seems more likely than the sun shining at the mo. Lol
