Sunset on a hot day

 

You might have noticed we had a heat wave here in the UK with the temperature getting hotter by the day, we mostly hid inside out of the heat trying to stay cool. On what I thought was the hottest day I poked my head out of the bathroom window to get a photo of the remains of the sunset

A glow on the horizon

I though the air looked hazy from the back

South no different

The sky has some color out the back

It hit 37 C that day, next day was hotter

St Faith Bacton

 

This week the Church Explorer visit's St Faith Bacton a chance stop off on my tour after seeing the church was only a short distance from the road I was on. The visit was worth it for the Elizabeth I connection

Sky on the lake

 

After putting up for the last few days with over 35c  looking at the sky's in Wales brings a lot of wishful thoughts

Going round the lake with the dog  in the morning while my wife packed ready to go home I looked at the sky thinking it could be rain

In fact I'm sure it was raining in the distance

Looked grim that way as well

It was low over Aberedw hill


 The weather might be cloudy but it would be welcome this week, especially in Wales as they had it as hot

Swans on the lake

 

Morning walk we took in Wales the past time we were there 

 

The swans were swimming up the lake

The family swimming in a line

The duck have now taken over the swans nest to rest up in

 Further up the lane a couple of lambs had manage to get out side the gate for a forage

Take Care

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

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
