So I've been out and about with my camera again and I didn't take all these pictures just to bore myself with them...

Gorgeous pics. Thank you for sharing. I love seeing the wild (feral?) ponies near your house. How amazing it must be to have them living so close by.

And what a picturesque place you live in too. Quite country and quite what I think of when I think of England...very peaceful looking.

Those ponies look like such robust little characters...

It's funny, I really don't know how to refer to them- they are working horses with a job to do, but the job is living like a wild pony, not getting handled and generally just eating stuff. They're very tame, but they wouldn't be keen for someone to touch them, they're just used to people being around and don't get concerned about them.

I love pictures of your countryside. It looks different from mine, but beautiful. And I adore the idea of wild ponies down the hill from you.

The heathland is unusual for britain too- our countryside is mostly more grassy and either rolling or flat. The sandy soil in our area means that it grows a lot of plants more associated with moorland and scottish terrain- in southern England it's only really our area and the New Forest that are like this.

sooo pretty and quiet looking.

You can actually, we've used the leaves in cooking sometimes and they're pretty tasty.

You do! It is at it's best now.

You could go up to Cefn Bryn and take pictures of little welsh ponies for me!

Also, in all the time I was in Swansea I never really went north and explored the mountains. I think probably that was a mistake.

We were tromping around the woods behind Oystermouth castle yesterday, there's lots of wild garlic there.

Also in Singleton Park as I recall. It grows as a weed in a lot of places, but compared to most weeds I rather like it.
