Been having a few days holiday in gorgeous weather but it’s raining tonight. So we’re confined in a shepherd’s hut with only cheese, wine, books and a Scrabble board for company. Not complaining, it’s great 😊

Power out since 2pm due to the high winds. National Grid say it’s expected to be restored by midday tomorrow 😔

Between bouts of heavy rain and wind I managed about 10 miles of morning walks this week 🚶‍♂️

Dare Valley Country Park on Wednesday – grey, misty and murky

A serene lake landscape features calm water, overcast skies, and trees lining the shore.

and Aberdare Park today (Friday) – clear and cold

A serene park scene features empty benches on a grassy field with trees silhouetted against a sunrise sky.

A grassy field containing a stone circle with standing stones is set against a backdrop of hills and trees. A flock of geese has is on the ground amongst the stones.

The weather strikes again. We were meant to be seeing New Order and The Charlatans in an outdoor venue in Cardiff Bay this evening but extreme weather – in particular high winds – has resulted in the gig being cancelled ☹️🎵

My wife had arranged two days off work and we had a non-refundable hotel booking in Cardiff for the night so have just enjoyed a good meal and drinks instead.

Hot and rocky! My phone kept overheating. But guided by Google Maps I walked to and found the site of:

> Prehistoric T-shaped anchor, Son Xoriguer, Illes Balears, Spain

A weathered, rocky terrain with a carved T shaped deep groove. A single foot wearing a black sandal is visible at the bottom left, highlighting the uneven surface. Small patches of green plants are scattered within the rock crevices.

A rocky beach coastline with clear blue water, a red inflatable boat in the shallow bay, and a small cart on the beach holding kayaks and paddleboards. In the background, there are white buildings and green trees under a clear blue sky.

A sandy, narrow path flanked by low stone walls, surrounded by green shrubs and bushes under a clear blue sky. The path appears to lead towards a distant horizon with minimal vegetation.

Wooden informational signboard at Cova des Pardals - Son Vell in a natural, rocky landscape. The sign includes a map, text details about the area, regulations, and symbols indicating prohibited activities. The sky is clear and blue.

A rugged rocky landscape with small green plants scattered throughout. The background features low bushes and a clear blue sky.
