Service station

 

This weeks photos are rubbish I'm afraid as I have not had much time to sort out anything. These are from couple of weeks ago on out way to Wales when we stopped for a quick break

We stopped off at Delamare services on the M4 going to  Wales, that is part of the car park where you can charge electric cars, not doubt at and exorbitant price

Just over there is where you can get food and drink, I cannot say it's the nicest of service stations I have been in

  The charging station again, solely Tesla's just beyond is where any one can charge their car

Sky at the lake

  

Taken back in March when we first got back to our caravan t check it out from the winter storage

Taking the dog out for a walk a quick look up the lake confirmed the swans were back

The lake was quite reflective

Near the end of the jetty

After walking up the hill and back a look up the valley to the Radnor hills

Last look at the lake on the way back

Happy SkyWatch

Blue Sky's and clouds

 

From Wales last month when we took the dog round the lake, SkyWatch was foremost when I took the photos

Right over Aberedw hill

Looking easterly 

The setting sun well going that way

Towards Fforest Wood

 It's been cleared for lumber over the winter and will be replanted with native trees

Happy SkyWatch

Some of my roses

 

A few of my roses in the garden, sorry I forgot most of the names of the roses and there are more in the garden I have not shown. They have come out a couple of weeks earlier but they will need dead heading in a short while.


 This what I see every morning out of the kitchen window though I did take the photo from the back door to show it all. The little fence is to keep an eye on the dog, The yellow rose in Malvern hills and grows all along the fence. The purple in the background is Veilchenblau I love seeing this each year and the sparrows love it 


Malvern Hills growing over the gate

I will leave you with this one out the front of out house it get cut back and come out again each year covering the whole of the front window
Take Care

St Peter Wormbridge

 

This week the Church Explorer stops off at St Peter Wormbridge for a quick visit, I would not have stopped but for the layby and I wanted to look at a map, the church was beside it so I felt I should look. It was locked.

Sparrows and Blackbirds

 

 We have a had a few young sparrows and blackbirds hopping around the patio so here are a few photos of them

Chasing the parent for food

Please feed me

Found the mealworms 

Don't watch me eating it's rude

Having a drink from the birdbath

Just hopping around

Cute

So am I


The dish has a mixture of mealworms and sultans in so they are well fed, even the robin comes for some but we chase the flying rats off.

Take care
