SLOW DAYS, OLD SKIES.


Derek Brockway , our Welsh News weatherman has the genial ability to deliver bad news with a charming smile. It seems after tonight's broadcast we are due quite a bit of rain or to be more precise lots of it! Having not been out today (apart from an unsuccessful attempt to start the car) Dafad here was reminiscing again, going back to old photo folders to see how skies used to be, back around this time of year in 2007. Unfortunately the years in between are stuck in the memory of my old computer, which crashed (badly) and apparently are now irretrievable.

But looking back in my memory, there were lovely days exploring with the dog, a mere pup then. I was somewhat fitter then, so was he. Now we both suffer with crepitus of the joints so life is a slower, which is quite fitting because we now both have to slow down rather a lot. This recent bout of pneumonia has meant far less chance of getting out and about, plus the fact that the car is currently defunct has meant little opportunity to get out and about.  With the rather dire weather forecast ahead, we will be out even less. But, I remember clearly, the evening I took these when walking along an old, local dram road. 
( a dram road is where trucks of coal were once transported track laid ways).
The evening skies five years ago, were just wonderful and very photographical ...
Here's hoping that in the few weeks left of this year, there are new exciting skies.
