This is going on later than I had planned. But here goes...July part 2.
We are now officially in a drought but this was a local reservoir at the end of July. The stone bridge is usually deep under water.We also managed to go to the Gold Cup at Oulton ParkIt was not very busy which is a shame.I was rather taken with this bunting!and Daisy helped Hubby with his work.
This is Bill, one of my father-in-laws cats, he's old now but before my father in law got him (or rather before Bill adopted my father in law!) he live rough for a while when his previous owner died.
At the end of July I went away for five days with my mum to Betws y coed in Wales. First stop, Bodnant GardenThen checked into the Waterloo Hotel. The next day was a day in Llandudno.The next was a day in Betws y coed and a drive in the mountains.Lunch at Llanwrwst
The next day I took my mum to see The Pines and we had a lovely day in Barmouth and on our last day called in Conwy on the way home.

So that rounds up July....Next post August!
The heat and drought sound dreadful! I'd love to send you some of our excesses. Unusual for an Aussie to say that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely week away with your Mum.
All my favourite places. I love Bodnant Gardens and the vine covered cafe over the bridge at Llanrwst. Cats do like to help with desk work don't they. Good that Bill has found a wonderful home:)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to spend such a great holiday with your mum and in a beautiful part of Wales. Fantastic scenery and places to visit.
ReplyDeleteQuite a shock to see how much water had gone from the reservoir and a reminder not to waste the precious water we have. Thank you Lyn x
Lovely pictures - I always feel I have been on a nice day's outing reading your blog. Love the bunting with the pompoms.x
ReplyDeleteIt's all so beautiful like another world - another time. It is so far removed from the life I lead. It is probably good that I don't live near the temptation of the cake shop though! x
