http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/ Summer is here! The infrequency of the blogs has been caused by some marvellous weather here in Carmarthenshire. I have been out and about on the Bwlch Tre Banau Estate enjoying the scenery and the sunshine. Yesterday we relaxed in the garden and were serenaded by the birds, the distant lazy hum of the bees in the Catoniasta by the pond and the smell of new mown grass - there is nothing better in this world. A few clouds drifted by the the azure blue skies and Stripe and Spot lazed in the shade.
