We live close to mid / north Wales & I try to visit it several times a year because the space just feeds the soul. I grew up with lots of space so I love the vastness of the space, the mountains & the scenery in Wales.
You can feel the openness, the need to put the windows down & take in the fresh air, the trees, the bleating sheep ...
The walk along the river under the lake & look up at the stunning Victorian architecture is special - the Victorians could have built something ordinary to move the water from Wales to Liverpool but they built this stunning dam with its road over the dam wall, the towers standing proud & across the lake, the most beautiful fairy tale turrets on a tower that is the utilitarian straining tower.
The green copper roof & turrets is right out of a fairy tale & I love it, I loved it when I first set eyes on it more than 20 years ago. It is just a magical space.
Look at this previous blog post from 2014 for the background to the dam ..
Amidst the busyness of December, it is good to step away from it all & just get back to nature.
I had it in my mind that I still need to add greenery to my advent candle holder & while walking in the little forest with its towering trees, a fallen tree was surrounded by beautiful fallen bits of spur branches. The blue / silver branches caught my eye & I just knew they would be perfect. I always have a fold up bag in my crossbody bag & so I picked up a few fallen pieces along with a few bits of lichen / moss to do my holder. I have always been drawn to nature & so it is perfectly natural for me to be connected to natural foliage.
I will show that in another post. Thank you for spending time with me, for leaving a comment or sharing the blog. It is very much appreciated.
