village

The above pic is of the village I live in, it was taken this afternoon I like to do this walk up from the village up to the golf course, which is shutting down in March, after being open so long, one of the oldest golf courses in Wales, and has great views.

From the above point I go on through the golf course and then down a road and then I cross the A470, and then go up past the water works, up toward an old iron age fort, called Bryn Castell, I then then go down through a field and past an old house called Hafod Ysbyty, then down the road back into the village I took some diversions today, just a went exploring a bit as you do, but thought better of going too far off the route, though it was a nice sunny I guess I could have explored a bit,  I took a lot longer today to do the walk as I have a bit of a hangover,

I think the walk took me about 3 hours, hopefully I will sleep better tonight better than I did last night anyway.  I am glad i took advantage of a nice day to go for walk, because who knows when we will get another nice day to go out, especially this time of year.  The walk today I did with the fairly new boot, which i have, their grip is really good, and they are quite waterproof, which is handy, especially when I seem to end up in the mud quite a bit, they are a bit narrow though, which causes me to lose my balance sometimes,

I forgot to mention, I lost my bearings on the walk, I tried to do a short cut, but decided to turn back but then I got completely disorientated, and struggled for a while to find my way back onto the route, quite scary it was really, I think I will take a couple of things with me the next time I go and if I decide to go off the route I will be prepared better, that's life you live and learn, though its the second time I have got lost there in that par.  I would like to have some new routes to walk soon, getting a bit bored of the same old ones.

whist

Well I achieved something last night, which I thought was going to be beyond me, I guess to a lot of people what I achieved, was pretty trivial, but I guess we all see things different;ly, what I achieved was to get over 170 score in a whist drive.  Last night was the first time I had ever done it, had a few scores in the 160's but not in the 170's which I see as the holy grail of scores to get as you will probably win then, which in fact I didn't last night, someone scored more than me, by 1 point.  I was not that bothered about that, all I was concerned about was getting a score above 170, I have been going to whist for years off and on and was never, until last night able to get the magic score, I am surprised I got the score last night as I had a bad headache all evening, I guess it was the luck of the cards that got me through. I thought I would never get the score, as I don't see very well, and struggle to make out the cards sometimes which is a bit of a strain,

great war

I went to an exhibition today, which was about the first world war, it mainly seemed to be full of photos of men from my home village who had fallen in the great war, they were all young obviously not ravaged by time.  It was a bit sad to think that so many young men from the place where I grew up were killed, it had their names and the names of where they lived, the names of houses and streets are the same today Sometimes you feel the outside world does not affect what happens here, but I guess it must do as it dragged a load of the young men here into the conflict which was going on at that time, I am not sure I agree with them going to fight, but that is neither here nor there, the fact is they did and that was what was going on at that time. My grandfather was in the first world war, but he was lucky enough to survive, even though he did leave his calf muscle over there in wherever he was, it must have been hell for him really and I guess I will never know what he saw there, al

shack

I did not go the 4th day of the walk, I could not face another 10 miles of plodding around the countryside, I think this is mainly due to the fact that I have not been walking quite so much in the last year, due to bad weather and things like that.  I did not think I would even finish 2 days but I did 3 in the end, more than anyone else except the person who organised the walk.   Instead of going on the walk i tidied up around the place, and just sat around, and also watched the football this afternoon, it was a crap day.  I did not even go for a short walk, its still perishing out there, I have a short walk on Wednesday, a kind of trail run for group who want to do this short walk, a recky or something they call it. I have at last heard when the new kitchen is being put in, apparently its on the !0th of April, I should have a received a 21 day notice but I didn't, which I guess is typical of the organisation who are doing the work. I am a bit apprehensive about the rewiring as the
