The leaves are hanging on later than usual,
thanks to a mild and wet October.
This seen on the edge of Hensol Forest.
|
 |
On one of the minor roads to the coast; near
Llantwit Major. |

Autumn Sunlight in Hensol
forest

 |
But then, there was a lot of
rain, too. Paddling, of the bovine kind |
 |
 |
And this is what happened lower down where
the water has burst out into Watery Lane. An appropriate name, n'est
pas? |
 |
Michael here is attempting the near impossible of
cycling through several inches of flooded road (that Watery lane again)
and taking an interesting photo at the same time. Clearly I failed in
one of these. |
| A spring always rises in this
field throughout the year, but his autumn has really excelled itself. The
sheep don't seem to mind. |
 |
Exactly the same field but a
few days later after the first snowfall |
 |
 |
Ponies near Witches Hill |
 |
Four horses. I get a lot of hits on this
particular page with 'horses' as the search word. I must put some more
horsey pics up! |
|
Just a sad old signpost
|
 |
even sadder bend sign. This on
Witches Hill and the sharpest steepest bend you could wish to avoid.

 |
St. Hilary, with its thatched
pub on a cold winters day
|
 |
and here is the 'Bush' on a bright autumn
day. |
|
Draught cider to be had here as well as good
pub grub. No, I'm not on commission. |
 |
Plas Llanmihangel, a wonderful
building in a truly mediaeval hamlet. Just the Plas, the church and the
farm. Just a couple of miles from Cowbridge it also does banquets in its
wonderful mediaeval dining room. Phone Sue on 01446
774610 will take your booking. She also does a rather classy bed and
breakfast.

 |
|
A few days later, and from a
higher viewpoint, this picture was taken in the dying sun of the shortest
day of the year.
|
 |
 |
The Plas seen alongside the 'Great Barn'
recently converted for a very individual dwelling. |
| Here is a photomontage of the Great Barn and
its outbuildings. |

Near Atlantic College, the
Severn and view towards Somerset

Same place, another year: January 2003 |
