Merry Christmas my fedifriends (happy Thursday to those who celebrate)! 🥳

The first of the hellebores in the garden to bloom. #BloomScrolling

Still feeling a bit low but the sun was shining which always helps! Had a local bimble to blow the cobwebs away. Found my way to a lovely wooded valley that hides the remains of a medieval castle. I also waved at the sea. #walking #Cymru

There’s a Christmas craft fair at my local National Trust property, Llanerchaeron. The house is all dressed for Christmas with literary scenes. One of the house cats is stealing my attention. #CatsOfMastodon

I left a wildlife camera with my neighbour to see what critters visit the fields and woods next door, and I’m now going through the pics. Initially he had sheep in the field with the cam so there are A LOT of sheep pics but this one made me laugh out loud. #Defaidodon #SheepOfMastodon
