I love animals 🦊 travelling around Britain 🚗 music 🎸 nature 🌳 and things that make me smile 😊
I bought this Christmas scarf last year and the matching hat this week! It's fabulous, as it lights up and flashes!! 😃 I'm definitely not going to get lost in the Christmas crowds wearing that! 😂

I'm hoping for snow this Christmas ⛄ We don't get it here very often, but when we do it's a winter wonderland!

I like to fill my Christmas tree with decorations that remind me of places I've visited. The newest addition is this cinnamon and fruit decoration from Ledbury. The crystal swan is from Stratford upon Avon. I made the gingerbread man myself. The fairy is from Narberth 🎄

When I was growing up, one of my favourite programmes was Children of the Stones. It was so scary!! Going to Avebury last year with the mist all around really brought that eerie feeling back! 😱 It's an amazing place!

It's a dreary, dark, rainy morning 🌧️ So here's a picture of some Spring blossom to brighten up your day 🌸

I'm about to have a munchie on a Crunchie!! Haven't had one of these in ages. I used to love them 😋

Over the years I've collected some nice Christmas brooches. I enjoy wearing them when I have a woollen coat on. Makes me feel very festive! 🎄🎅

A goose and a swan for your Wednesday morning! Two beautiful birds I've met while on my wanderings 🦢

Some more old pics. The first photo was taken at Dolwyddelan castle in North Wales. The second photo is in my local park, before they took the shelter away. I must have been about 3 years old.

If you want to watch a great movie tonight this would be a good choice. With a fabulous cast, it's well worth a viewing! BBC2, 11.00pm 🎬

Flora was asking me to fill her advent calendar with treats! So I did, and now she won't leave it alone!! I told her that she has to wait until December 1st. She is NOT happy!!! 😾😂

Flora's quite a messy eater!! She's just had a lick-e-lix and got it all over her nose!!! So she's trying to lick it off 😹

It was woolly hat, gloves and scarf weather in Cardiff yesterday! 🧣 For an invigorating walk around Bute Park.

I took a walk through Bute Park yesterday. It was a perfect late autumn day 🍁 Frosty and cold but with a brilliant blue sky ❄️ 💙

This is Spillers Records in Cardiff, the oldest record shop in the world!! 🎵 Today I thought I'd buy a Welsh artist, so I got a Tom Jones album. I've grown to like our Tom more and more as I've got older. Fabulous songs and an incredible voice. Take it away Tom 🎤 ...

Cardiff Castle and famous animal wall. A beautiful castle tower and walls that run along Bute park 🏰 🦁 🐻

On the way to the abbey, I walked past the remains of a Roman fort. The Latin name for Neath is Nidum. I used to live here, in this street on Roman Way, and I also used to attend the college!

The town centre in Neath this morning. Bright blue sky and frosty ground ☀️❄️

I've come along to Neath Abbey. It was a Cistercian monastery, once the largest in Wales, and one of the most important! It's free to enter and very atmospheric!

I bought these yesterday at Weston's Cider. Might have one with my supper tonight 😋
