Crazy Welsh Sheep



Last weekend we went for a drive up to the Bwlch - a mountain nearby in the famous Valleys of South Wales. We often drive over the Bwlch on large animal calls but have never stopped there. There is always a Mr Whippy van at the top and people stop to enjoy the view. Sheep wonder the hills here and walk all over the roads and once we bought an ice cream we discovered why they always hang around this spot. The sheep were trying to eat our ice cream! We saw some people buy an ice cream especially for the sheep!
They were very cute!

Ogmore By Sea - our local beach



Summer finally arrived on the weekend so we went to the beach at Ogmore by Sea - about 10km from Bridgend. It was about 22 degrees and the locals were stripped down to their togs and swimming in the ice cold sea!! The coastline nearby is really scenic but windy and cold even on a summer day! We walked along the beach and had ice cream but no sunbaking or swimming for us!
