The Gop

 Look at the photo of Trelawnyd carefully and you can see Gop Hill behind. The burial mound atop the Gop is around 800 feet above sea level. The village is around 550 feet. Many of the fir trees have recently been cut down, giving the hill a slightly unframed look, which I understand was how it looked 100 years ago before the saplings were planted

The village, feels braced for winer. Many of the field hedges have been trimmed and the community  orchard strimmed and cleared of fruit . In two weeks the village apple festival takes place at the school and the ponies may return soon across the lane from the cottage.
