Daughter took me for a long walk this morning, It began in Parc le Breos and I assumed we'd follow the normal route, which is quite flat and not that far. Instead we turned left and followed a different path. It was so gradual that at first I didn't notice the slope but slowly realised it was a long steady climb we were doing.
It took us to territory unknown to me, the side of Cefn Bryn's ridge, and, eventually, a view of the distant Three Cliffs.
Unfortunately the weather changed in the afternoon just in time for the junior school sports' day. But most of it still happened with only the tug of war and some of the long jump events being cancelled. GrandSon3 and GrandDaughter2 both came away as winners in their sprint and three-legged races. As I've said before, they obviously have their grandmother's ability (not).

Out the other day I just happened to pop into a charity shop where I picked up a jigsaw and three books. I was inspired by Boud's talk of the Grantchester series. I didn't watch the television programme so will see what the book's like.

I love the series "Grantchester" but have never read the books. They were written by the brother of one of your former Archbishops of Canterbury.
I loved the Grantchester series too but haven’t read the books. Enjoy!
I wondered when I saw the name! Thank you.
I am looking forward to it.
Dawn just made me go through a stack of books that were mostly acquired at charity shops and have languished somewhere at the back of shelves since purchase - most of them will go straight back to the charity shops unread but at least i've contributed
Runcie is quite an unusual surname.
I have a stack like that.
Reminds me of the runcible spoon.
I have watched some of Grantchester but not the last few seasons. It was okay.
