Dead tree near Highgate farm Newtown Montgomeryshire Powys SY16 3LF

Farm on the hill opposite Gethin,

A tranquil setting our old Farm   Gethin Farm  SY16 3LP

a soaking wet day  near the Gethin lane turn off,

Fachwen pool in a few months  the frogs will be on march  or leap, to the pool

I was going to see an old friend and take some photos from her farmhouse  too wet so  another day god willing,

St Gwynog's Church, Aberhafesp 

A link for the church

blackbirds nest in the hedge opposite the Church.

The graveyard awash with Snowdrops,

Its hard to imagine why this tree stump was left like this on such a busy road

One reason for this round about trip with my son, I was hopping to see some new lambs but I did not see one  !

Nother dead oak tree near St Gwynogs Church,

these two houses were my last build before I retired with slipped discs built from cutting the  first sod  to last roof tile on my own,  both are pre form with brick cladding, Mr & Mrs M Hughes  home is 7 bedroom, on stepped 3 floor. and Mr &mrs Penningtons is a large 4 bedroomed house on two floors

Its strange how  people spend a fortune on building their home but disregard perfectly good outhouses.
