Fixing the Track

A lot of track improvements on the railway at the moment. No trains between Leeds and York for 10 days, which is a major disruption for many. Including me and the dog on our Stroll. Should be able to get going again next week. I took this shot as we walked back from going out to Adrian and Cathy at the weekend.

 

The Traveller

 

Meantime Rowan has moved on to Bolivia. This is taken on the salf flats at over 3,500 metres in the Andes. Looks an amazing place.

Weekend pt2

 

Sunday Paul, Emilie and I went to see Knats at the Crescent. Danielle was unwell. Knats are a young jazz band from Newcastle, who were nominated for a Mercury prize at the Mercury Awards last week. They put on a great show, really impressive and a great sell-out atmosphere. 

Weekend pt1

Saturday evening we had a meal with Adrian and Cathy and a couple of their friends. A particularly good evening. Gazpacho and Fish Stew, can't go wrong.

 

Wales 6

 

The Welsh Highland Railway (a steam narrow gauge line from Port Madoc to Caernarvon) ran right through our cabin site. We did not manage to go on it, but it was good to see.

Wales 5

 

I walked up Moel Hebog, a mountain right behind our cabin. Views all around to Snowdon, Cardigan Bay and more. A great day too. Danielle and Layla went a walk in the forest, and came to meet me as I made my way home.

Wales 4

I had not been to the Anglesey coast for over 60 years. It is where we had family holidays at Rhosneigr when I was very young, I still have some memories though. We walked first on the beautiful dunes and forest at Newborough then went on to Rhosneigr, which was pretty much how I had kept it visualised in my mind.
