Beautiful drive, lovely snow covered Brecon Beacons. Reinforced what I know already but always enjoy recognising what a stunning country I live in.

Yoghurt on a Stick Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Me and a few mates kind of stayed in a pub all weekend in Pontypridd many moons ago now. On the Sunday night when the locals heard that we were off back to Birmingham in the morning they all stood up in unison and sang We'll Keep a Welcome in the Hillsides to us. Nice touch. I went back again some time later and we visited a rough bar in the town. I couldn't believe what I saw when I walked up to the bar - there was a bloke injecting himself with something right at the bar, and it didn't look like it might be insulin.

Bloody killjoys! I remember standing in awe at the sheer beauty of the moonlight glistening off the coal dust. I had been liberally partaking in the locally growing fungi, mind. They've bloody ruined it now by turning it into a wildlife haven and woodland park, the heathens!
