Daffodils in June

I came across some photos I had not shared with you.

Way back in April Hubby and I went to see the daffodils at Farndale

Of course we had to buy a cake before we left the car park!

It was a warm sunny day but we had had lots and lots of rain so the fields were very, very muddy! some parts had diversions on to try and avoid the mud!

 Farndale’s daffodils are often known by their old name – Lenten lilies. Tradition says that they were planted by monks from nearby Rievaulx Abbey. Farndale has been a nature reserve since 1953 and strict by-laws prohibit picking the flowers or uprooting the bulbs.

It is a lovely walk, start at Low Mill and walk along the river towards High Mill.

Lunch stop....a bacon butty! Then a slight diversion through Church Houses to see St Mary's Church.

The path was much worse going back but once we had started we decided to carry on rather than go back around!

And so you have daffodils in June!

 Half way through my half term holiday....grey and dull here today and I have abandoned my huge pile of ironing to sneak into my workroom and start this post....lets see how far I get before I feel guilty and go back to it!

I am glad you enjoyed my rather late post about our Easter weekend...I am afraid my good intentions of keeping a regular blogger fell by the wayside!

so what can I tell you about today? Shall I send you another postcard from North Wales?

On a grey day we went for a walk up the estuary inland and then met friends for lunch and a catch up.

 Then after we had said goodbye we went for a walk down the estuary 

It turned out a much nicer evening.

The tide came in very quickly 

The next day we went to the Llyn Peninsula

 we started in Criccieth

 Then onto Llanbedrog 

 We walked up the steps to see the Iron Man

It was worth the effort for the view!

then we walked back through the woods to the village

and called in briefly at Oriel Plas y Weddw

and then went home for tea!
