Those photos are just fabulous Jill, and that is rare from me, because I normally never bother with pictures ...

No more snow guys but it is so cold here today that it has all turned to ice and is very dangerous. :(

That is the worst part I find about snow, when it compresses and then freezes, as you say treacherous. Take care, broken bones are so easy in these conditions.

Post by: joji on November 27, 2005, 09:52:04

No Tulip-23 :)

It is the Rhondda Valleys Merther - Ferndale & the mountains go from ponty pridd all the way to Aberdare. The forests are called St. Gwinnows & LLanwoonow forests. That area of Forest at the top of the pic is where we run the huskies. Quite handy really as most of our friends have quite a bit of a journey to there forests. :)

Joji. Ah memories. I spent the last year of the war (evacuated) in Trecynon/ Aberdare with a wonderful family. We lived at the bottom of quite a steep hill (Mill St) but still had to struggle in the snow to reach Chapel!!

Joji Thanks. would love. I lived in the last house (if it is still there) at the bottom of the hill on the left hand side. I spent 11weeks in hospital and the family were so good to me.
