It's those geese again!






I suppose I'm cheating in a way,putting these pics on here as I have
already put them on my other blog My Life. A few people have seen
them on there but not as many as I would have liked,cos I think they
are pretty good. Ok trumpet blowing time over! I couldn't resist taking
the last pic. This guy was heading back the way they had come.I wondered
what he was saying.Was it, "Mum, where are you?" or was it "Come on,
you lot, get a flipping move on!"

Parade of sail






We recently enjoyed the marvellous experience of watching the
Tall Ships as they left Liverpool.It is something I had always wanted
to see but had never managed to on previous occasions for one reason
or another.It was a fantastic day, there was a great atmosphere with
everyone obviously enjoying the experience thoroughly and beside
seeing the Tall Ships,we were also treated to an aerial display.Yes, it
certainly was a day to remember.

A different sky






I love blue skies with white fluffy clouds but I also
love to see a different type of sky, so when I looked
out of the bedroom window a couple of evenings ago,
and saw this sky,I just had to photograph it.I took the
first three one evening and the second two the following
evening.For those of you with good eyesight,in the 4th
photo,you can just make out some of the Welsh hills.We
are blessed here with a wonderful view of part of the Dee
Estuary and beyond that,the hills and fields of Flintshire
in North Wales.Every day, when I see this view,I know how
fortunate I am.

Aberdaron

We recently had a family holiday in Aberdaron in
North Wales. This is a view of the beach, looking
towards Ynys Gwylan-fawr and Ynys Gwlan-bach.

Emmie and Alison on the beach
The view from the cottage which Sue, Andy, the
girls and Chase(the dog) stayed in
Abersoch beach
Windsurfing off Abersoch beach.
Now for a quick lesson in the Welsh language.Ynys is Welsh
for island,bach means little and fawr is large. Aber means at
the mouth of the river,so Aberdaron stands at the mouth
of the river Daron and Abersoch at the mouth of the river Soch
