The Last Water Falls
No sign of the number one daughter this morning, despite claims last night of “I want to come for a walk with you tomorrow”. I did make quite a bit of noise making breakfast and sandwiches, but the distinct lack of life from the front bedroom was only exceeded by the distinct lack of movement.…

Sgwd Clun-Gwyn and Sgwd Eira
Another beautiful day without a cloud in the sky. “A perfect day for waterfalls” Aunty said after the rain earlier in the week. I was dispatched early to the kitchen to make the tea and sandwiches for the expedition. Preparation and an early start were important. We needed to be back for the match at…

A day out to the seaside.
The weather wasn’t too bad when we woke up this morning. In fact for once it wasn’t raining, and the promised storm hadn’t yet arrived. So in our wisdom, and with a certain sense of adventure the decision was made to have a little trip to the sea side. I was even promised an ice…

Llanelli Wildfowl & Wetland Trust Reserve
Saturday, 19th January Hooray! At last the sun is shining. The wind has fallen. The rain has ceased. The wild, wet and windy weather we have endured here in Wales over the past 4 weeks has finally abated. Excitement in the Challinor Household was difficult to contain. Well that was the situation for one of…
