On a warm day these two seemed overdressed and their paddock was pretty much cropped bare. They have a lovely view though, across the Teifi valley, if they care to look at it. Note that in the hedge behind them, along with the may blossom, are the yellow flowers of the poisonous laburnum which seems to have become naturalised in this part of Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion and can be seen in great profusion in the hedges at this time of year: there appears to be no satisfactory explanation for this.

Laburnum in the hedgerow

The buttercups in the foreground match the laburnum blossom along the field boundary.Typically, in this part of Carmarthenshire and throughout Ceredigion, these poisonous trees are well-established and grow in abundance: no-one knows why. Possibly at one time the wood, which is very tough, was used for hedging stakes and pegs which then took root. Although all parts of the laburnum contain a lethal alkaloid it is said that, as with ragwort, stock will not eat it unless desperate.

Bwl-y-foel

This largely coniferous, hilltop woodland has recently been opened for public access, hence the unexpected brand-new gate. Its name, meaning 'Bald Knob', must predate the plantation.
