Well, whatever happened to November? Grey, damp and gloomy much of the time - but never mind say the forecasters think how MILD it is! Grrr! Think how MUDDY it is! Ah well, there was the odd sunny day to enjoy and on one of them we were driving north towards Talsarn and spotted a bright blue tree in the middle of a field. This was a dead tree I hasten to add but still making a good shape. Unfortunately no camera to record this rather surreal sight but it was really very jolly and must have made many people smile.


Here is Nantgwinau Cadno Coch again, he has now been weaned and is nice and cosy in his stable - unlike his mother & sisters who are living out in all weathers! During November we had news of his big brother 4yr old N. Desert Fox - his new owner is very pleased with his progress and plans to show him under saddle next year. He is now 15.1hh and very smart as you can see. One of these days I hope to work out how to get the pictures where I want them to be, at the moment they are out of my control!



December has started even wetter than November, I hope to report improvement in my next entry - just a little drier is all we ask, nothing too extreme!

Sorry folks! I am having trouble getting text & photos in the right order, will try to do better next time. Here is a picture of Cadno's 2 year old sister Nantgwinau Croeso Haf - croeso=welcome; haf=summer; the two words together=bluebell - so we call her Bella. OK?

We took quite few "floral" shots this year and have them on the screensaver to bring some cheer during the winter months.

And then of course there are the horses - the Nantgwinau Welsh Cobs! This year as you can see we have a very smart chestnut colt Nantgwinau Cadno Coch (cadno = fox; coch = red) who will soon be leaving his mother and coming indoors for the winter.

Summer is over - well, British Summer Time to be precise - and our first load of hay is being delivered! Six horses to feed this winter and with frost forecast for the end of this week we shall be needing to increase their rations. Here are some memories of summer 06:-

This swing seat was a great place to cool off in the evenings during the July heatwave - a cold drink, something to read, and the view east towards the Cambrian Mountains to enjoy. Very civilised!

Croeso i Gymru! It won't all be in Welsh! This blog is about our B&B near Lampeter in Ceredigion (West Wales) - and also about our Welsh Cobs.
