At the start of the week
At the end of the week. Notice the difference? Nothing to do with me.
We're watching you.The weather was a little damp most of the week, but between the weather and Rob's back still not being 100%, we did manage to do a bit of walking and lots of rain does make for some very impressive waterfalls.
Afon Mellte RiverWe also visited the bookshops in Hay-On-Wye, some caves and dinosaurs at Dan-yr-Ogof and saw The Levellers playing live at Brecon Theatre which was excellent and an unexpected highlight of the holiday.
There was also plenty of time for knitting and reading while on holiday (also drinking wine, eating flapjack and listening to the Test Match).

Forest Canopy Shawl by Susan Pierce Lawrence

And finally, a note on the Bayerische socks. Thank you to everyone for all the lovely comments and I have to say that I LOVE THESE SOCKS! I have worn, washed and worn them again (they are in the wash now, otherwise they'd be on my feet) and they are so comfy. I don't think I can go back to Opal sock yarn after this...

You sure you had nothing to do with the alpacas' haircut????? Love the colours in the shawl.
Is that the Jojoland I gave you?! Ooh! Looks so pretty. :-)
Am very jealous that you've seen alpacas. :-( Did you manage to smuggle one home in your handbag? *looks hopeful*
I wanna see Alpaca's too! :(
The shawl is looking lovely and the booties are so, so cute! :)
We're planning on going to Hay-On-Wye later in June. Lovely, lovely book stores...
Hmmm, you sure about the alpacas?! Beautiful pictures - I love Hay-on-Wye (and the Levellers lucky you!). Your FCS is looking beautiful.
Hmmm, not sure about the alpacas haircut - sure it had nothing to do with you? ;) Sounds like a perfect holiday to me - fantastic!
That sounds like such a great holiday, the bookshops in Hay-On-Wye are great and you lucky thing getting to see the Levellers!
Great photies, though I think your bags should be inspected for alpaca hair cuts.
I love the before and after shot of the Alpacas - they must be nothing but fluff! Love the colours in the Forest Canopy shawl and those booties are so cute. I'm not suprised that the Bayerische socks are your favorites right now - they are so stunning and look so worth the effort and small needles! Glad to hear you had a good break!
