"You'd think the rest of the group could walk a little quicker, after all Cefn Du's only a little hill!"
Follow the leader.
"No, I went tell you what kind of sheep I am."
" Well OK, I'm a Balwen Welsh Mountain sheep"

What a superb day for walking, the weather and views were almost perfect (perfection of course can never be attained!).
Foraging today was official, and we started well with a bag full of scrumptious apples and we hadn't moved a foot! (Thanks to the abundance of apples on Fran and Tito's apple tree).
We set off along part of Offa's Dyke footpath and within a short distance came across a few walkers that were on their last stretch of the footpath. You could tell how happy they felt at being on the last stretch of the walk, when they smiled as they thought we we were on our first! Thankfully we were only doing part of it!
What a joy it is to meet other walkers and as today we were able to chat and exchange pleasantries.
Birds seen or heard today included: Chiffchaff, Barn swallow, Wheatear, Chaffinch, Blackbird, European robin, Nuthatch, Carrion crow, Jackdaw, Raven, Woodpigeon, House sparrow and Great tit.
The walk was a little shorter than usual, but suited quite a few members of the group, particularly Fran and Tito who had been invited to entertain their son and daughter on their birthdays.

Happy birthday Mike and Beth.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Britannia Inn at Halkyn, where the Lees bitter went down really well, but only six of us attended!
