Text of the page (random words):
y off the churchyard at st david s llanynis i don t blame them the view downstream this is the ford along this stretch of the river irfon thinking back it is very likely that this is either where prince llewellyn crossed back in the 13th c or his murderers splish splash tam had sensibly brought along her trainers for water there were skads of tiny minnows or similar and a bigger young trout about 10 25 cm long looking upstream from the little stone beach we sat on oh yes the dead body it was away up the field and i was convinced from the lane that this was a dead body someone crossing via a footpath and i was worried because it was such a hot day and if someone had collapsed there they would be in a bad way or dead tam was equally convinced i was a sandwich short of a picnic seems that she was right i think it s a fally down scarecrow posted by bovey belle at 17 05 11 comments labels llanynis river irfon a dead body st david s church tuesday 27 july 2021 getting sorted this rather splendidly threatening sky was encountered on the llandovery road yesterday as tam and i headed towards the irfon forest for a short exploratory walk looking across to the eppynt range it was a short walk just about 1 1 4 miles starting at white bridge through the trees and beside the river we got back to the car before it began to spot with rain although there was thunder and lightening about 10 miles away as we walked this is a good swim area it s called the wash pool as it s where they used to wash the sheep before shearing this practice continued long after it was necessary but the worry of losing 1 3 of the value of because of the fleece being unwashed was a worry nowadays when farmers are paid less than 50p a fleece some farmers burn the fleeces when you think england s wealth was born on the back of sheep farming in medieval times nowadays a ball of good wool is as much as 10 times the cost of the entire fleece crazy as you can see we did get some rain but not for long enough overcast here today and a little rain overnight today a local company are coming to sort out the wasp nest money well spent it became a priority as yesterday we also had a visit from the carpenter who is going to do our sash windows cords need replacing he is quite possibly going to slot us in later this week it s just a day s work and it is hardly fair to expect him to work beneath a wasp nest i m not feeling my best this morning hence the short post as i slept badly so i m back to bed now posted by bovey belle at 08 43 23 comments labels irfon forest walk sunday 25 july 2021 we have lodgers and welcome guests as well yes a wasp nest absolutely lovely to look at and i could ignore it except we are having a chap here next week to give us an estimate for doing the sash cords on the back windows he won t be pleased to see this can t deal with it ourselves as tam and i don t do heights and keith who does can t do ladders these days can t get to it through the window as it doesn t open this is another i ve never knowingly seen it before plant growing x 4 on the bank in our new garden it is fairly unusual it is a broad leaved helleborine mostly gone to seed but hopefully there will be more next year above and below this fritillary is one which has been hurtling round the garden in the sunshine this week but never stopping until today when it was sat on the marjoram happily feeding it s a male silver washed fritillary i have been told tess loves the sunny position in our yard now i need to get some trellis up as she s a climbing rose ebb tide has also been flowering really well gladiolis from two packs i bought very cheaply in morrisons earlier in the year the homestead under gloomier skies today the wasp nest can just be seen under the apex of the biggest upper window a bit of tree over that dormer my new herbaceous border is all planted up i just have to straighten the edges as a little out of alignment you can see from this photo that the bottom windows are in alignment with the lawn some folk wouldn t like this but i love having the birds on the lawn just outside the cats also like to come in when the window is open posted by bovey belle at 19 53 16 comments labels wasp nest male silver washed fritillary ebb tide tess roses broad leaved helleborine gladiolis friday 23 july 2021 church crawling thwarted cascob discoed and cregrina well eldest daughter and i had a disappointing afternoon church crawling yesterday as we were heading up towards presteigne i found a number to phone to see if cascob church would be open chap not sure but discoed would be and that was just a couple of miles down the road we decided to chance it but unfortunately the church was locked and when i went across the lane to the cottage opposite to get the key there was no reply though cars outside a notice said to shut the gate as sheep were grazing in the churchyard here is one of them we particularly wanted to see the interior of this church because of the abracadabra witch spell there is a link here which tells you more but no illustration the church is dedicated to st michael by the way the yew tree here is rather special and probably a thousand years old it s female and was one of a pair but sadly the other fell in a gale in the 1990s although a sapling has been planted to replace it the girth of this one is 762 cm 25 feet in circumference the church probably dates from the 13th c and this mound has been considered to be either a tumulus or a norman castle motte in the past but is more likely to be rubble from a collapsed rebuilt church tower as we knew discoed was open and very close by we paid that a visit next as you can see from the view below it s in a very rural setting it s another one dedicated to st michael this stunning stained glass window is dedicated in memory of judy hiam and installed in 2017 one of the nicest stained glass modern windows i ve seen at the other end of the church was a more traditional window the sun streaming through made the colours so beautiful it wasn t an ornate church no pews and a new floor and the socially distanced chairs set out gave it not a great deal of atmosphere not a poet i had heard of though he lived in the fens most of his life until suddenly upping sticks and moving to wales you couldn t get more difference in scenery here s a link if you re interested this is a stunning tudor manor house recently traditionally restored thank heavens that the oak is the colour it should be sun faded to grey and not painted black i hate it when timbers aren t left as nature intended it is called upper house and here is a worthwhile link to the restoration work with amazing photos an even more venerable yew tree here which is an amazing 5 000 years old and is one of the five oldest in the british isles it has a girth of 37 feet and is male there is a female tree elsewhere in the churchyard the fact there is a spring at the gateway to the church suggested to tam and i that this was a place of ancient worship far predating christianity finally on the way home we had noticed that cregrina church was just 2 miles off the main road so we headed there we couldn t get in and thought the door was locked but apparently it is never locked and you just have to give it a hefty heave with your shoulder it was once on a main cattle drover s road and is largely 13th c and dedicated to st david this morning the chap from the council is coming to test the water for the 4 properties which are on it this could be interesting whilst our supply comes through a uv filter which we maintain there is still a lot of sediment and we were left instructions to boil all drinking water by the previous occupant it should have been tested in 2019 but wasn t and couldn t be tested before we bought the house last year because of covid restrictions fortunately the charges are shared between the 4 properties posted by bovey belle at 08 38 14 comments labels
