Picnic lunch in Wales

We went to Wales today with Pete. We drove through amazing rolling hills and crossed the Prince of Wales Bridge to Wales. Driving through Herefordshire in Wales there are many wooded valleys and hills, the houses, churches, and villages tucked into the landscape look very peaceful. Pete took us to a favorite place of his near Skirrid, he and his family used to rent a house here for holidays and now he often camps in a field here by a stream.
We had a very English picnic and a snooze.

After lunch we drove along the Vale of Ewyas in the Black mountain area in the Brecon Brecons National Park, and went to a ruin - Llanthony priory, an Augustinian monastery built originally in 1100 then added to later around 1180- 1220. The remains stand mighty in the stunning surroundings, some of the priory was destroyed by Henry the VIII's dissolution of the monasteries. It has also gradually subsided and collapsed over the years.Read more
