Thankyou Hillary for the news of your trip,
I used to live by Newbridge on Wye, and the river and birds like the
Curlews an Pewits/ Lapwings were always in my mind at times when I was far away
in Uganda and the river Nile in the 1960 -70s - they will never go away,
but sadly we do not see or hear them much these days.......

Hi All,
I went down to Callwen Church, in the Upper Tawe Valley, this evening to
put
Easter flowers on Dad and Mum’s grave. I put lilac, garden bluebells and
rosemary for remembrance. Mum would have loved them. She wasn’t into cut
flowers form the shop, but loved her cottage garden flowers.
It is a lovely valley and the Churchyard is always a very pleasant place to
be. On Street View, it is about ½ a mile east of Dan yr Ogof Caves.
My evening was made when I heard the Cuckoo whilst on the Church yard. My
parents and I used to have a competition as to which of us would hear the
Cuckoo in this, my home valley, for the first time each year. The earliest
time would be 21st April which is today’s date! I don’t hear the Cuckoo in
Brecon, where I live and really miss it as a marker of the year. So today
was a bonus for me!!
Happy Easter to All,
Hilary
