Mooring boat

Do you think it would sink without those tyres? They keep adding more and more along the sides.

A stolen boat

Enlarge this one, I think you will like it.


Early this morning I saw this boat floating down the river, it's only occupant was this Cormorant, obviously having stolen the boat. Now I had forgotten the English name for the culprit so I had to get out my Welsh English Dictionary which I often need. The Welsh name I used where I was brought up was Billidowcar, or Diving Billie. In the dictionary I found they are called Llanciau Llandudno which means Llandudno Lads. Now that for me was something worth knowing. I found it very interesting.


The River Police must have seen him and he obviously deserted the boat here.

A great weekend

Sun on the hilltops

There's a Welsh saying 'Daw haul ar fryn'. Translated it says there will be sun on the hilltops which means that things will get better again. The sun is out already and soon my little problems and hospital visits will be over.

Snowdonia

As my friends in this group know, my life revolves around the hospital at Bangor in North Wales these days. This was taken as the car was moving with speed towards the hospital last night.


Here are the snow covered mountains of Snowdonia taken from the hospital.

Spring

Another busy day

I've had another very busy day, washing drying and ironing. This is my assistant Maggie May. I thought I'd have to give her a name and I heard her saying quite clearly, Maggie May!

A two headed tortoise

Now I wonder what Sir David Attenborough would make of this specimen?

Colourful

I thought we could do with something bright and colourful to cheer us up this miserable weather. This was taken in Cannes Market last year. What a wonderful place.

High and dry

I hope whoever it was up there enjoyed the view.

Birds at evening tide

Dirty window

Can you see the dirt on my window? This was the day after the storm and we could hardly see a thing, but it rained heavily the following evening and they were cleaner than they were before the storm.

Wrought Iron

This one is from my stock!
