I give myself a kick up the bum this morning and finally headed out to the trees I have been meaning to photgraph all months. Whilst I was diappointment that the woods had received a bit of a clear with a few of the trees having been chopped into logs, there were still a couple of the trees I was looking forward to finally photograph them.
These tree outgrew their iron girdles (designed, I think, to stop farm animals eating them as saplings) many years ago.
My aim achieved, Me and Mrs E settled ourselves in the snug of the nearby Gower Inn pint for a cheeky pint.

With the early afternoon weather being unusually clement, we worked off our pint by taking a walk through the woods behind the pub car park.
This is the site of Trinity Wells, the first Baptist Church in Wales:
The Killy-Willy stream leads to another great Gower Hamlet, Ilston and past a fantastic ancient Yew in a medieval graveyard. But not for us today.
