Me

I am new to blogging but have been hearing its a good thing to add to one's website, as a place to get to know me a little. My blogs will be mainly based upon places I've visited near home and further out within Wales and very occasionally a book review. Even though I am city born I've always been a country girl at heart and love being in the great outdoors. Walking has always played a big part of my life and it plays an even bigger part now I live in Wales. Most weeks I manage to walk over 50 miles - the most I've walked in one week is 58 miles. Walking is good for the soul and I love it! I'm also an amateur photographer. Since first writing this in January 2020 (its now February 2024) I've lost 5½ stone combined with both the walking, treadmill, cross-trainer and healthy eating; I'm probably the fittest I've ever been in my life!

January 2021

January 2021 was snowy at times but sunny too. We enjoy walking along the mountain route opposite our home and below you can see some photos I took during these walks. There are many horses who live locally, we see many of them on a daily basis, most of whom are very friendly. The views are beautiful and never fail to amaze me.

January 2022

January 2022 was much milder with lots of sunshine. We were even able to have a picnic outside at the Newport Wetlands and Nature Reserve. It was a lovely place and I've included some photos below.
