Set off this evening with the warm sun in our eyes, dark, lowering clouds on the horizon,the noisy cry of at least two pairs of curlews distracting us from their nests and the air thick with the delicious scents of summer.

Within seconds of getting into the woods the feet and legs were soaked from the now nearly waist high vegetation but not until we were halfway round and turning for home did the skies open and soak the top half. Happily soggy we traipsed between the now dripping trees but it was clearing up already by the time we emerged,

the dark cloud now ahead of us

and the evening sky clearing behind.

A shower, a glass of wine, a rich and colourful Caponata with olive bread to mop up the juices....and Wales won!
