I knew it would be a good day when I started day and my breakfast day egg turned out to be a "double yorker" !
Weather forecast not brilliant, but I at least one of us didn't put waterproofs on all day!
This was our Bluebell wood walk, fortunately our first wood produced the goods!
We had the best of the day and lunch time in the Coed y Gellin quarry was taken in glorious sunshine. Mobile phone contact was good too, several members of the group were able to take advantage of this, and Celie was still on Crete!
The Gorsedd round didn't have a lot o off, the highlight being meeting a young mum with two with two very young children taking their dog for walk.
