Some views over the Cynon Valley yesterday morning whilst walking with my daughter.

The ground is drying in the good weather making paths more passable; we covered over 5 miles, including some steep climbs, in 2 hours 🚶‍♂️

Black sheep on a scrub hillside, some sheltering in shade of a small tree, distant view of valley in background, blue skies above

View across valley showing town below, wind turbines on distant hillside, blue skies above

And the skylarks were singing, which I love to hear

Old review – M Night Shyamalan's fast-ageing beach horror is top notch hokum 🎥 🔗

>Old is a bit like Alex Garland’s The Beach, but with a dab of Twilight Zone creepiness and an ensemble cast that Agatha Christie might have imagined. Most of all, I found myself thinking that this could have come from the original series of Star Trek – and that at any moment, William Shatner might beam down among the panicky, deteriorating beach-dwellers, phaser at the ready. Sadly for them, however, these existentially stricken vacationers are on their own.

Bank Holiday start – been making a vegan soda bread loaf. Then ate half of it for breakfast – tasted really good 😄 🍞

Crusty loaf of bread on a chopping board, two cut slices next to it

(Vegan because it used oat milk and lemon juice in place of the traditional buttermilk).
