Cotswolds springtime walk ~ Dursley to Coaley Peak

Last week we went for a stroll and found the bluebells were largely still to come out, so I photographed wood anemones instead. Today there were many more bluebells out and they are beginning to look good.

Tortworth Snowdrops and Lake, three weeks later

We walked around the beautiful snowdrop walk near Cromhall and the Tortworth Estate three weeks ago. Then the snowdrops hadn't reached their peak yet, not even open. Today although they were wide open, they were past their best.

Pen Y Fan in the snow

With a little snow this week at our house in Dursley, I was keen to head to the hills and see how much there was up high - and since I wanted to go high, I thought we may as well go all the way to the highest point of the Brecon Beacons, Pen Y Fan.

FaceOmeter 'Why Wait for Failure'

I don't know quite how to describe FaceOmeter. He's a singer/songwriter/story teller I've had the pleasure of listening to for the best part of a decade, discovered quite by chance as he was playing at the same gig as a friend's band.
