Betws Cedewain

Red House Farm from the Newtown/Llanfair Road An unremittingly cold, dull, damp Christmas Day. I risked the hazard of venturing out a little before noon, when some folk are zooming along the lanes to wherever they are being fed their Christmas lunch. I met and avoided a few. The risk was greater for the jogger who greeted me as he passed, he must be fit, it's a long, winding hill, I can't walk and talk on that sort of gradient.

Bechan Brook, looking down stream, Bettws Cedewain Taken from the road bridge shortly after noon on Christmas Day.

It's not all down to summer foliage.

Bechan Brook, looking up stream, Bettws Cedewain Taken from the road bridge shortly after noon on Christmas Day. You can see, on the right, the water has been higher recently, from the rain we've had since the frost (and snow on the uplands) last week.
