What better way to raise awareness of archives, than a bright pink serviette with your cake?

Works for me!

Nant yr Arian

Trip out to Nant yr Arian this weekend with family visitors - hadn't been for a while, and it is looking so bare now they've had to take down the trees around the lake.

I guess it had to be done - they were infected with the 'sudden oak death' fungus - but the light through the trees, and the reflections in the lake were beautiful things



. . . as seen here in 2010.




The Red Kites are still there though - and feeding time is just as busy!

Bedroom Blue(s)

With all the work that's been done on the house this year, you'd think we'd have had enough - but instead we seem to have generated some momentum to tackle other jobs.

Redecorating our bedroom was high on that list . . . well high on my list, not sure that certain other people were really that bothered!

Stripped back the damaged wallpaper off the main back wall, and between us repainted the ceiling, other walls, and woodwork.


After much searching / ordering of samples of wallpaper finally decided on a duck egg blue feature paper for the back wall, which Martin and his Dad duly put up for me.




Really pleased with the result - just waiting for the new king-sized bed (on order) and that's another room more or less done with!
