With a spring in my step

.... and love in my heart.
Well okay, so i am rather fond of new babe, Storm but never mind.

The first official spring month will here by this time next week.
My rhubard has been peeping further and further over the growing grass since mid January.
No photo at this time.

-Snowdrops & Crocus -

There is a plethora of snowdrops and the crocuses are close behind.
The above were taken in the graveyard of St David's Whitton.
The crows, Rooks and Jackdaws in the main, were hanging around and nest-building.

I took another run up to the Elan Valley only avoided the dams and went straight up the mountain road from Rhayader (CwmDeuddwr). this put me close to the source of the Elan and, more significantly, the Ystwyth. I stood in No Man's Land and took the above two pics. to show.
It's beautiful up there but i was quite surprised by the degree of traffic passing by.
I carried on down in to Cwm Ystwyth and by the time i got to Devil's Bridge i saw what could've been the reason. They are doing re-structuring works on the bridge and the road is closed. I did umm and ahh about returning via the mountain road but ended up trolling onward towards Aberystwyth. I didn't go in to town but cut thro' the trading estate and popped in to Halfords tho i was carrying very little money on me.
The journey back was, tho still beautiful, boring due to the pace. One can't really knock the wagons for taking care but some car drivers really do need a kick up the arse. And the weather didn't allow for going topless so i was cocooned with the lid in situ.

Long may Spring reign.
Three days of sunshine.
Chances to go topless.
Life is good
