The light is strange this afternoon.
It’s not cold, but it is slightly misty with the promise of cold and the view from the cottage feels almost ethereal .
The village is almost circled by a curve of low hills, with the open valley end dropping away down towards the sea miles to the North West.
The hills are now topped with a mist through which the low sun is shining and the sky is glowing with a strange warmth.
Bwthyn y Llan’s limestone walls drink up the sun too and the cottage glows with a life of its own.
It faces south, so is used to the sun.
The cottage is best viewed in warm sunshine.
As I stood up in the churchyard looking west, Irene bleated a short hello from the livery stable fields beyond the green brown hawthorn hedges.
I am home
Your cottage looks so welcoming in the sunshine John. Try to not work too hard on the run up to Christmas. xx
ReplyDeleteI’m on nights for three on Sunday x
DeleteAnd there's no place like home, is there? Enjoy the rest of your day, John!
ReplyDeleteYou too Debra x
DeleteYour cottage always looks inviting, whether in sunshine or cold, grey cloud. xx
ReplyDeleteThank u
DeleteInteresting photos. I like them. It doesn't look or sound like it will be a frosty night unless all the low cloud clears later. Quite different for you not to include a dog.
ReplyDeleteYes, sometimes it’s nice to walk without them
DeleteFunny: Your post made me feel as if I were home as well. Merry Christmas John. I did not get any cards out this year. My apologies.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you too deArheart
DeleteMy first thought was 'snow', it looks very much like a snowy sky.
ReplyDeleteI thought that but the temperature isn’t low enough
DeleteThe cottage does look cozy in the sun, even weak winter sun.
ReplyDeleteThe limestone sucks up the warmth and glows
DeleteYou have beautiful vistas. A misty morning with sunshine and stillness is very calming. What will the afternoon bring?
ReplyDeleteA quiet time on the couch with a book
DeleteThat top photo is like peeping out from under a duvet.
ReplyDeleteThe best direction from which to see things
DeleteWeird light, makes the best photos. It is great to hear from Irene, bhaaaa!
ReplyDeleteYes she’s still going strong , albeit not on my land
DeleteIt has been so wet and glum for months in West Wales that the sun itself seems a strange light.
ReplyDeleteWe commented on the light over the sea yesterday. The sea was the strangest but very beautiful shade of pale milky blue and the horizon was a soft misty glowing pink fading to soft yellow. The sea is usually steel grey.
ReplyDeleteA peaceful, contented blogpost. If only Paddy O'Micron would keep out of the bowl in which Trelawnyd sits.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures and I love the ethereal light in the top photo. Hope the sunshine warms the interior of the cottage, too, especially if the fireplace isn't fixed yet.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the book taking you and your imagination?
Hugs!
Strange but beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely home
beautiful---so peaceful, so calm.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I love this project, it looks promising. More, give us more!!
