This morning yet another light snow, making the landscape look for all the world as if it has been dusted with icing sugar. Taking the trail to the top of the bank is rewarded by the most spectacular views; tiny cottages and patchwork quilts of farmsteads litter the landscape against the dramatic backdrop of the Brecon Beacons. The Bwlch Tre Banau Estate http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/ is nestled high in the Carmarthenshire hills in a sheltered spot shielded by a high banc. Opening out into a courtyard, the cottages are warm and cosy and there is a plentiful supply of logs for the woodburners for crackling log firs to warm you on your return.
