Brecon Beacons

Hi all,

Survived the first week back at school - just! I must be getting old and senile because before the holidays I went to an AFL football training (Cardiff Double Blues). Having trained for over an hour I could hardly walk! The next day my left knee was extremely sore- but I managed to get through the last week of school and the extensive walking on our holidays in turkey, Greece and Ireland. The knee was sore but ok! But then on Tuesday night, at cricket training at school, I managed to really stuff up my knee I think! Yes I know I'm too old to play these sports! So the rest of the week I've been limping around.

After waking up at 5.00 am to watch Collingwood v Essendon (I wish I didn't see the last 5 minutes!), Saturday was a very quiet day (Kristin worked).

Sunday we ventured off to the Brecon Beacons National Park (about 1 hour north of Cardiff). Unfortunately it was an overcast day and the scenery probably didn't look as good as it could. We went for a walk (it was a struggle with the knee) at the visitor centre near Brecon, and then went to Abervagenny and had lunch. From there we went home! A quiet Sunday drive - I said I was getting old!!

I have obtained more storage for the photos - so all our photos from this year are now on the Web Albums - as well as today's photos, Cheers!
