Out in the snow

Well as you may have heard the UK was hit by a snowstorm on Friday and being a lucky resident of South Wales, I found myself right smack bang under a Met Officer Red Alert - now they don't issue those very often, however the snow fall was nothing compared to January 1963 - click HERE to read about it on Wikipedia and me being the crazy Shutterbug that I am - went out for a walk - yes that's right, while it was snowing, in the forest and along the river. Below are a few photos from the walk

It really was like being on another planet out there, the branches of the trees were weighted with snow and on a couple of occasions my Dad and I heard a crack as a branch gave in to the weight and broke away from the tree.

I took over 100 photos and will share more of them with you soon

If you are out and about in this winter weather - please take care

Monmouth

Well I am still catching up with last years pictures - these were taken in Monmouth back in November - I promise to try and do better - but you know me.

Monmouth is a nice town, but the weather wasn't brilliant the day we went but could have been worse.

Tintern Old Station

9km north of Chepstow sits an old railway station - although the trains no longer run through Tintern Station it is still a place to visit - with it's tea rooms and beautiful country walks - a miniature train tuns around the grounds for the children to enjoy - when I was a child I enjoyed the little train and it really is worth a visit. I will be going back in the summer to follow one of the walks and take more photos. If you want to visit the Railway visit the Tintern website by clicking HERE for opening times.

The woods

I love walking in the woods - especially if it is a nice sunny day as the light filtering through the trees is so beautiful. I took these a few weeks ago- however we are now in a new year and I really hope to get out and take some more photos soon

Enjoy
