A very wet Sunday

We went out to lunch at John and Ida’s in Pontypridd today, excellent as always!

There was a very impressive cloud burst while we were driving home and the road under the railway bridge at Llantwit Road in Treforest was flooded to a couple of feet. The cars in front all turned around but as we were in the Nissan Patrol a few feet of water isn’t a problem. 🙂 A Peugot had become stranded and I offered him a tow, I didn’t have any wellingtons with me so it was a shoes and socks off job and roll up my trousers, naturally the water was quite cold. I attached the clip on tow rope that is always in the back of the Patrol and towed the stranded driver home, which was only about half a mile further along Llantwit Road. I must remember to put a pair of wellies in the car!

I completed the initial album design for Andrew and Natalie later this afternoon.

A warm sunny Sunday

The builders are back again today, more work on the walls for the conservatory.

Shopping at Focus in Llanishen and lunch and shopping at Morrisons in Llanishen. A trip to Cefn Parc to place edging around, the grass is now growing very well.

We can now get two of the cars back on the drive as it no longer has bricks, blocks, sand and cement blocking the entrance. 🙂

A very cold Thursday

A heavy frost overnight outside it looks almost like we had a mild snowfall. Quite a thick layer of ice to scrape off the cars this morning. We had a refuse collection today, the wheelie bin was certainly full with all the extra Christmas waste. Called in to see my cousin Glen at his garage, as usual he’s snowed under with work. Wandered around Leekes in Pontyclun, didn’t buy anything, except lunch. Some light snow here this afternoon.
