      Thank you @glengarry23 I'm glad you enjoyed my photos.

      I went here for a stroll last Thursday, I was meaning to go shopping
      (running out of cat food :yikes::cat-kittyandsmiley:) but it was so nice I decided to go for a walk by the sea instead, and Bella still had enough food for another day.

      Pity the tide was out it's very muddy and you have to be careful where you walk

      It was cold ... brrr :smile: so I went for a coffee in a little restaurant near the beach. Maybe I'll go again soon.

                I thought I'd show a few photos of Llandeilo near here, where I went for a walk a few days ago.
                It was a day of clouds and sunshine, and the occasional downpour (in one of which I got a soaking ! :heehee: )

                Llandeilo.JPG

                Llandeilo bridge ... it carries the A483 trunk road from Swansea to North Wales.

                View from the bridge ...

                DSCF6471.JPG

                Lovely walk through meadows by the river, and Castle Woods ...

                Be grateful you were not with me in that downpour :yikes: :heehee:

                  What a lovely quaint and charming village and walk Michael. A shame you got soaked on what appeared to be a fine day. Thank you for sharing.

                          It's a very long time since I visited Wales and it's good to see that it's still pretty much unspoilt. :thumbsup:

                                Thank you @glengarry23 I'm pleased you enjoyed my photos. I soon dried off after coming home :smile:
                                Yes you often see people fishing in the river Tywi.
                                True that Llandeilo still looks very much as it has done for generations, except for the heavy traffic including huge lorries trying to pass through the narrow roads.
                                They're going to build a bypass soon, and although that will ease the congestion and pollution in the town it will destroy much of the surrounding countryside. But that's the 21st century for you ... nothing really stays the time.
