Use it or lose it !!! that’s what we say !
I’ve. also met my bubble friend Ruth at her Promenade home in Llanfairfechan and we had a glorious walk along the beach and through the nature reserve towards Abergwyngeryn
This photograph is a beautiful depiction of our walk , it was quite, quite delightful
Our affable vicar David Lewis is been around too, hanging red ribbons on the Church yard Yews. It’s Remembrance Sunday soon and in Lieu of poppies are Lewis the vicar has encouraged people to tie a ribbon in support. Today I tied mine.....
It made my month , glorious and profound
I am feeling more whole
I am feeling more balanced
It’s been a hard few weeks so I am glad....so glad I’ve touched some base
Hey ho xx
Balancing on the precipitous ridge we all walk seems very difficult at times. Your news is good. Sometimes the path seems nice and wide, but at other times so narrow, and we fall. I myself am hopefully just about back up on the straight and narrow, after a fall. Enjoy your pint John and I will try to enjoy mine (although we are not allowed to drink indoors in pubs at present in Scotland, oh unless as an accompaniment to "a main meal"... it is all rather bizarre and overcomplicated). Anyway. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteYes I need to check the rules of the pub before we go,
DeleteEver so glad you're feeling better,welcome back xxoo-Mary
ReplyDeleteMe too mary
DeleteWelcome.
ReplyDeleteXx
DeleteSo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteD.
Good for you , glad all is better. Pass some on, I'd appreciate a smile or two. The photos are welcome!
ReplyDeleteI think when social people are isolated, it takes a great toll on them.
ReplyDeleteI'm more of q quiet person, and quite honestly I probably do better socializing from a key board. In real life, I'm awkward and self conscious.
I know it is not a competition, but I'm a way better quarantiner than you are. *sticks out tongue*
Many are, I concede x
DeletePS Your pictures were beautiful, thanks for taking us along!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming x
DeleteAwwwww welcome back glad YOU are feeling better. Weather is always such a huge part of our life.
ReplyDeleteYou were always there just under some blankets for a small time.
xx
With Dorothy x
DeleteWelcome back! Your photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day!
ReplyDeleteIt was
DeleteWhat an unfortunate time to be opening a Pub', please inform the new landlord that some old codger in France wishes him all the best. Good to hear you're back at play.
ReplyDeleteThe people coming in to run the pub already have a following the village as they ran The Crown successfully a few years ago
DeleteI echo the welcome back that others have said!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like your body and soul needed a touch of the everlasting sea.
Hugs!
It makes you reflect on the mental state of prisoners
DeleteI've no sympathy for the prisoners John, they're there because of their wrongdoings.
DeleteI do however feel very sorry for care home residents during this pandemic, some who haven't seen their loved ones for nearly 8 months. Some homes allow safe visits and window visits, some don't allow anything at all. My friends husband who is in a home cries on the phone because he's heartbroken when they have their allowed once a week call and then they advised her not to continue with the calls as he was getting upset. Our government is appalling, they send out guidelines but let care home owners decide their own rules.
Alas the mental damage Of isolation must be great for a whole plethora of people
DeleteWelcome back, sunshine, we were all worried about you. Just remember that in real, functioning human beings downs are as natural as ups; that's how you balance on this tightrope called life.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a lovely idea to tie red ribbons! I am an RBL supporter, but I always lose my popy, or crush it to desstruction when out and about, so a ribon is a lovely alternative. What a nice and thoughtful vicar you have got.
Perhaps all we really need is Vitimin D
DeleteIn these tough times, we really must embrace the beauty that is around us .... it can be so uplifting and will help us all get through these unprecedented times. I think that I might tie a red ribbon on our Laurel bushes at the front of our house especially as we aren’t out and about as much with our poppies on ..... great idea vicar ! 🌺 XXXX
ReplyDeleteYes it is a nice idea and a thoughtful one
DeleteSo nice to read your feeling better!!! I think I'll go for a walk by the sea today. The rythm of the waves is relaxing. Not matter what happens in the worl. The sea is unimpressed and the waves come and go....
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely one x
Deletelovely pix of the coastline.
ReplyDeleteI felt briefly as I was on holiday
DeleteGlad your out and about feeling more balanced I think is the right word John as everything seems a bit of kilter. What a lovely location shot the mountain, the lovely church spire and a friend to enjoy it with.
ReplyDeleteThe nature reserve was full of people , all respectfully social distancing , but all needed that vitamin D
DeleteGlorious Photos - thank you.
ReplyDeleteHad a holiday in Llanfairfechan when I was little. It rained all week
It’s has such a pretty promenade.
DeleteHow many support bubbles have you got? I thought we were only allowed one.
ReplyDeleteI have just one
DeleteThat was true of Hitler too.
DeleteAs I understand the advice-there can be several people in our support bubble
DeleteI hope that Reverend Lewis takes down the ribbons a few days after Remembrance Day or they may just become litter along with the discarded COVID masks.
ReplyDeleteTo Trelawnyd visitors to this blog, I say join John and Jason at "The Crown". Support your local pub by getting tipsy!
The first comment is rather negative YP
DeleteIt was a perfect day, yesterday...a great way to celebrate being 'unlocked'!
ReplyDeleteUnleashed
DeleteSo glad you're free to socialise (safely) again!
ReplyDeleteYes our rules in wales have changed 6 people from separate bubbles can meet in doors ( got that anonymous?????)
DeleteI was about to give the new landlord the bad news, then I realised I am in England.
ReplyDeleteYes....I don’t know yet if the pub is open to non meal eating people as yet
DeleteYou could have the kid's menu.
DeleteThen throw it away.
DeleteHi John my friend and I walked the North Wales coast path in Sept, from Nefyn to Chester. I loved the prom at Llanfairfechan with its brightly coloured houses! A shame that the A55 cuts the rest of the town off from the beach. We walked round the Great Orme in glorious sunshine and saw dolphins and goats. Best of all though was the Point of Ayr lighthouse beyond Prestatyn. A great walk!
ReplyDeleteMy friend lives in the only yellow house, point of Ayr is only a few miles north of Trelawnyd ( but a lot lower )
DeleteI can see the yellow house in one of my photos - looks lovely!
DeleteIt was an old hotel , most of them were
DeleteTen days enforced stillness, a bright sunny day, with people you like, sounds like a formula for regaining balance in life. Enjoy,
ReplyDeleteI did, it felt as though I’d taken a proper deep breath David x
DeleteEnjoy your pub visit but don’t let your guard down.
ReplyDeleteI am sure the rules will be tight in there, there may even be slots to table service etc
Deletewhat a beautiful place. i wish i knew where my family lived in wales.
ReplyDeleteHave you done any family tree searches?
DeleteWell, howdy there, John Gray!
ReplyDeleteHowdy right back at ya x
DeleteWalking with a friend and enjoying beautiful water views and landscape after isolation is a good way to start anew. Let's hope the pub can stay afloat as these are tough times for any business. Stay well and be safe.
ReplyDeleteYes, we need to support it , all of us
DeleteYou haven’t mentioned Winnie in awhile. Was that why you took some days off from the blog a couple of weeks ago?
ReplyDeleteYou live in a beautiful place. Last night we had our first rain in months. Clear air makes everything seem lovely.
She is gently fading
DeleteShe’s eating well , but spends all her time in the kitchen reading chair. Lots of little accidents but always on the kitchen mat
She sleeps 99 % of the day ......
So good to hear all is slow and gentle in her world, when it's painful for her to move or she starts being miserable that will be the time to be kind.
DeleteWhat a lovely, pastoral life you live. I must confess, I am a bit jell. Enjoy the weekend and take good care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteIt has its downsides like anyone’s existence , thank you for kind wishes x
DeleteLovely indeed. Thanks for sharing the walk with us too.
ReplyDeleteIt was worth sharing
DeleteBIDEN/HARRIS WON! Pennsylvania finally came through!
ReplyDeleteYes and I know Biden has his faults but how glorious a woman and one of colour is SECOND in command
DeleteBeautiful pictures! Looks like a spectacular walk. I like the red ribbon idea.
