Wales

Had a lovely week with my aunts and uncle in Knighton and environs.  The drive down was a bit of a pain as the M6 was closed, so I was diverted through the back of Coventry but I ended up seeing a part of the world I hadn't before - the Clee Hill area, which looks out onto the Malvern hills - spectacular - with sheep roaming about all over the place (no fences on the roads!).
Anyhow, here are a few photos from my trip-I used my Huawei for all photos and vids this time.

Jean's lovely back garden (I have left out pictures of the long-tailed 'wild' life!)




 A walk around The Cwm ... Jean's little lane around where she lives.  I took a few more photos of buildings than I normally do this time, as I am going to use those images to help with some exercises for the section I'm on currently with the degree course.
