A reminder

For now the sun has disappeared from this corner of Wales. Not before time, the garden was starting to look a little parched. However I still have the photos (and the suntan) to remind me that it really did happen.
Any idea what this is?

One thing's for certain, the dogs will be happy that it's cool again, and that their drinking spots on walks have water again.

Particularly as they spend large amounts of time on forest walks doing this!

Mawddach

We seem to be having an early summer (and probably the only summer we'll get) so we've been making the most of it. Today we went kayaking on the Mawddach estuary. It was a beautiful day, and the tides fell right so we could go out in the morning before it got too hot.

The sun was rather bright though, and once we got home I ended up retreating to bed with a headache despite the sunglasses and hat.

It seems like everyone is heading to the coast to enjoy the sunny weather for the Easter weekend. The cars have been going past the house all afternoon, we'll be avoiding the busy spots over the weekend, and in my case staying out of the sun!
