Break from the bluebells for today’s Daily as it’s Friday and therefore . Castell Harlech making a contribution with a window useful if you wish to pour boiling oil on beseigers (please can we reenact with Tory MPs as targets?)

Daily and a bluebell - they’re popping up everywhere ATM. Great.

@KateCelyn@mastodon.social avatar

Daily is back in the woods - because it’s bluebell season. Yet again, we need smellovision, because the scent of all the flowers is stunning. Sigh.

Daily with a random pick this morning …

Before the much needed Porthmadog bypass opened in 2011 - diolch, EU funding - there was a ‘walk the bypass’ day. Parking areas at each end, shuttle buses, hog roasts etc: a day for locals to do things they’d never be able to do again, such as walk their dogs on it or cycle three abreast. It has made an enormous and positive difference to Port. So here are people walking (and cycling) the bypass, 25 September. I said it was random!

Daily today is a - gorse in the background, blackthorn in the foreground. Every autumn I come up here to pick sloes from the blackthorns for sloe gin. Must decant last year’s production…

I wish there was smellovision - the gorse is astonishing, a coconut overload. As though the trees had smeared themselves in suntan lotion.

@fkamiah17 Oooooooooo

I did damson vodka one year (well, the little wild plums common round here, eirin bach) and it was FAB. Thank you for reminding me about using vodka instead 👍

Daily and …

Daily today is a bit urban. Well, as urban as we get round here - welcome to Barmouth. Oh yes it is…

(Seriously, too many visitors miss exploring the area known as ‘the rock’, which might delight friends who live there, but IMO is a bit of a shame. It’s a labyrinth worthy of a Mediterranean hill town … er, I might have had too much coffee.)

Daily today comes from - gasp - ten years ago, when the weather was glorious and I visited friends on their farm near Trawsfynydd. In the distance is land which the poet Hedd Wyn would have walked (and the more recent nuclear power station is out of view to the left)…

Daily time, back to the beach I think… 😉

OK, it’s the estuary and it’s not exactly ‘beach weather’. Except it is.

Daily is back on flowers today, so possibly with an added orange-tip butterfly (and just a hint of a purple fritillary flower in the background, left hand side - they’re good this year).

@KateCelyn@mastodon.social avatar

Daily update. No butterflies and precious few narcissisi left today. Today the garden is in the process of being blown into England. Again.

Just in case the Welsh weren’t fans enough of the English monarchy….

Daily is back to wildflowers today, so also a - this is a Heath Spotted Orchid which appeared briefly in the meadow a few years ago, never to be seen there again (sniff)…

Daily heading bravely to the beach (OK, am currently drinking coffee inside) where high tide + strong winds have meant overtopping flood warnings for later today. Pic from 2014’s big storm aftermath; fingers crossed for no repeat.

@KateCelyn@mastodon.social avatar

Up into the woods for today’s Daily - which is also, maybe inevitably, a (and also a , first use of hashtag?)

KateCelyn, to cymru

Daily , and a at the beach…

KateCelyn, to cymru
@KateCelyn@mastodon.social avatar

Daily today is another - hopefully some of my later daffodils will survive the predicted storm but, just in case, here some of them are in their glory. And sun…

KateCelyn, to cymru
@KateCelyn@mastodon.social avatar

Daily and a today, with the reflection of a calm sunset as we brace ourselves for the arrival of Storm Kathleen tomorrow. Sigh.

@KateCelyn@mastodon.social avatar

Daily today is up in the hills above Harlech / Barmouth. Some people find it bleak; I love it. It’s the haunt of ravens and peregrines and there’s always something to see (providing you avoid the idiots wrecking some paths with quadbikes, that is)…

KateCelyn, to cymru
@KateCelyn@mastodon.social avatar

Daily today with a random pick. Hmmm … here’s Castell Harlech from an unfamiliar angle, looking almost like one of those ruined Nediterranean outposts. Honest.

@KateCelyn@mastodon.social avatar

Daily today features a lamb with an itch that just has to be scratched. It’s that time of year: noisy.

Plus, as a spinner, that’s my raw material out there. Also, very cute.

"When the Muskrat arrived in the cave he was very pleased with everything. He spread out his rug on the sandy floor, sat down on it, and began at once to think. All was quiet and peaceful. How unnecessary it is to run about and chatter, to build a house and cook food and collect possessions! He looked contentedly around his new home. Here I shall stay for ever and ever, he thought."

from 'Finn Family Moomintroll', by Tove Jansson

@fkamiah17 Well, except certain Tory politicians. Luz Truss, for instance: she’s the Groke.
