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.

Hayzel decided to take the kids and I out to the Broads today. We had a bit of a walk about to find where we actually were supposed to pay and get on the boat and ended up taking the 3pm trip. We explored a Wherry boat, that had belonged to the Colman's (the Mustard people) and watched a demonstration of how they lower the mast on these boats. Then we boarded the Electric Eel and went out for our punt about, it was a lovely time of day when the light is all golden. We went out to a bird hide with our knowledgeable guide and one other family who were from Yorkshire. It was a really nice day out on the water and our first taster as to what it's like to be on a boat on the Norfolk Broads. On the way home we surprised a white Peacock and her chicks crossing the road.
