Lovely
..... Nice shot.

Glorious Wales
Wales is glorious indeed! And your photos are indeed equally glorious! I love all the close up shots of the birds and flowers. Great to hear you were able to do a photography course during lockdown, and then put it into practice on some local travels. Pembrokeshire looks a very beautiful part of the country ?

Andover
Love your blog on Wales and bird photos. It's nice to follow other people who are also from Hampshire and with an Andover connection ☺️

Happy Christmas and all the best for the New Year, John
Hi Sheila and Paul, Great to hear from you. You both look great!! I guess your wings have been clipped a bit this year, however from your blog you have kept busy doing a lot of cool stuff. Maybe a plus for being >70 yrs old is getting the vaccine. It was also a surprise for us to have our elder son turn 50 this year as will our daughter next year. Like you, all our three kids and families live in Birmingham so we get to see them but not as much this year. A quarter of the family had to quarantine over Thanksgiving because their 14 yr old son got COVID. It was mild as it is for most young people. I don't know what is going to happen to this COVID plagued country. It is truly amazing to witness the almost total lack of social responsibly by a large proportion of its citizens and in particular the present administration. Many of us felt like a dark fog of anxiety lifted off us with the advent of the new President but he and his government have an enormous task ahead of them to restore a semblance of normalcy. Christmas will be more joyous and hopefully we will begin recovering from the year 2020. I wish you and your family Happy Christmas and a Covid recovery in the New Year.

Aw, Thank You Paul and Sheila ?
Wow, thank you so much for the lovely comment Paul and Sheila. I'm sorry I've not read this until now, this blog entry is still on my to-read-list, and I hope to get some time to read it properly at some point soon. I just wanted to say for now that I'm very touched to read this ? It's lovely that we're all supporting each other during this tricky time for travellers. All the very best to you both.

Fantastic Photography
Great.
