After 5 months of no walks, finally got back up a (small) mountain in glorious weather today. Foel Goch in the Arenig range is a very modest 2,004 feet, but stands isolated from other ranges giving it an amazing panorama from Yr Wyddfa, Glyderau, Carneddau, Clwydian Hills, Y Berwyn, the Hirnant Hills, Aranau, Cader Idris and Arenig Fawr and Fach.
Quite emotional to be back in the hills, it's such a boost to my mental health. Bonus Bronze Age standing stone and cairn too.
The only cover we did was London’s Calling (the chords were easy) which I introduced as “an old Rolling Stones number”, which managed to piss off just about all the remaining audience.
Oh yeah, I’d already left the band by this point, text-book definition of ‘musical differences’, but the lad they got to replace me on vocals died in a motorbike accident and they didn’t want to lose the gig.
I am not quite sure that this new restaurant in a trendy neighbourhood in Columbus, Ohio, quite captures the proper meaning of its name, Hiraeth.
Beef tartare served with naan, Greek tomato salad with tzatziki, and whole fried fish with a sweet chili sauce are among the menu's highlights, according to a story that accompanied this photo gallery.
