rockershovel Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Just been out and about on various odd errands into East Northants. I've always thought this was God's little green acre, if anywhere is "England's green and pleasant land" it's round here. Wandered around through the villages, saw a couple of friends, haggled over some parts, had a pint and a pork pie in a village pub. Daffs all out on the verges, and suddenly the lilac is in bloom! That wasn't so, last week. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 96701 Posted March 14, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14, 2017 A photograph taken some years ago but nonetheless in one of the most beautiful places that I have lived. This was taken from near Criegau on the top of a hill at the back of Devauden near Chepstow. The other side of the farm is the Wye Valley and the hills in the distance are the Cotswolds. Happy days and a superb place to walk the dog. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killybegs Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Beautiful day for a bike ride. Out from the house and up into the hills. This is the last bit of tarmac I will see for a while..... ....then it's on to the rough stuff ....... We've had a few picnics here in the past ..... One last slog up to the ridge ....... Whoopee, then it's down the other side ....... This is our water supply ...... There's always a good water splash here ... and these were the only deer I saw today. There are two of these country mansions outside Killybegs and the two brothers that own them have never lived in them. Saving them for their retirement perhaps. Back into Killybegs, shimmering in the afternoon sun, and time for a choc ice before heading over the last hill to home.

My son-in-law's father is having triple bypass surgery soon.. I'm a little surprised that this post is getting so many "friendly/supportive" ratings. My intended point was that I'm glad I live in a country with the NHS. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold martin_wynne Posted March 26, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Elan Valley near Rhayader in Powys. What a stunning set of dams and reservoirs. Agreed. The intrepid Google Streetview camera car ventured for several miles in 2009 along the farm track skirting the Claerwen Reservoir. It's a shame the weather wasn't better. Starting at the dam: http://goo.gl/maps/41JFB The farm at the end: http://goo.gl/maps/SUPRX edit: I have just discovered they made another trip in much better weather in 2011, but gave up when they got this far: https://goo.gl/maps/X5eSTNCkiGw The opening of the new Claerwen Dam in 1952 received much publicity at the time -- not so much because of the civil engineering achievement in building the dam, but because it was one of the first public engagements of the newly installed present Queen. I'm just old enough to dimly remember the family talking about it (I was 4 at the time), and shortly afterwards a family outing to see it and have a picnic at the dam. And the RMweb connection? In much secrecy the Royal Train spent that night parked in the platform at the closed Harton Road station on the Much Wenlock branch, because the Queen was visiting Shrewsbury next day. Harton Road had closed the year before. So if you are modelling a GWR branch line, your stock is not as restricted as you may have thought. Martin.

Labelled on the back as Bewdley South on the SVR. In which case this view is looking south-east, so this is a winter's morning. Martin. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
