Spooky hedge
On the way back near Much Wenlock we spot this cobweb covered hedge.
Phone cam-4613 Later I find it in the Shropshire Star and discover it's caterpillars.

It's probably orchard ermine yponomeuta padella larvae which feed on blackthorn, hawthorn and cherry. # Posted by Steve at 1/6/08; 1:26:19 PM

The Dare River
I spent many happy days here, trying to catch trout.

As soon as Brad looks down the pipe, he needs a poo. Must be good then.

Ystradfellte Falls
Must visit in the winter. Looks not much in the height of summer.

But we had a great time. Though the pub wasn't open till 7.30pm. Typical. Since there's just the pub, a post office and a few houses in Ystradfellte anyway. Nothing for miles around.

I love it here. Spent 12 years coming here each summer holiday, many of them in the same caravan. Know it like the back of my hand.

Kids love it too.

Must remember that eating seawater makes dogs do the squirts. More distance than squits.

Cwmdare Country Park
During our holiday, the weather was terrible, at first. Between showers we went to the country park.

Oops! A holiday and an outage
Sorry about the past week. I've been to Welsh Wales where connectivity is poor for me. (I like it this way.) And the usual text notifications to tell me all's not well didn't materialise, since we were up, though not enough.

We actually crashed over 4,000s time in the pace of a few days.

I didn't know till a customer called, and I was able to remotely fix the issue within a half hour.

I've just moved houses too, and with a new number, not everybody was able to call.

Mistakes and problems pile up on each other to give us such a long outage.

My new number is: 0800 756 6722
