Heron on the canal

Saw this heron on the canal the other day - just as I started snapping he flew away - typical - still I did get  this shot

Portland Bill

On Wednesday we went to Weymouth for the day, it was lovely and sunny but due to the amount of time it took us to get there ( see my other blog for details) I didn't have time to take photos it the town itself, needless to say, thanks to the Olympics it is loooking stunning and was very busy and that will continue as the paralympics are about to start - so if we went to Portland to see the lighthouse - lovely and well worth the long journey.

Cosmeston Lakes

Yesterday was such a lovely warm day that the other half and myself packed a picnic and went of to Cosmeston Lakes in the Vale of Glamorgan for the afternoon.

It is such a beautiful place and well worth a visit if you are in the area. Click HERE to visit the Vale of Glamorgan and read all about these lakes, that were once quarries.

Cathays Cemetery

Cemeteries are great places to take photographs and on Sunday I went for a walk around part of Cathays Cemetery in Cardiff - I say part of the cemetery because Cathays is the 3rd largest Victorian Garden Cemetery in the United Kingdom - it's going to take a few more visits before I have all the shots I want - oh who am I kidding I will never get enough shots - anyway - here are the first batch

St Fagan's - 2nd Trip

Last week I made a return trip to St Fagan's. The National History Museum of Wales is a great day out, with lots to see, last time I posted photos of the gardens and a few of the relocated buildings, here are some interiors of those buildings.


 Flour Mill - The Mill is still in use and bags of flour are available from the Museum Shop


 Oakdale Workmens Men's Institute's Reading Room

 Post Office

The Gwalia Stores


There is such a lot to see that I will hopefully return there soon for another look around the gardens - after all - it's free.
