N is for New Car

There is nothing nicer than taking delivery of a  New Car.

We've been driving Honda CRV's for the past nine years but, as needs change, I've been finding it increasingly more difficult to hoist myself  in and out of the car.

Recently husband had to part with his beloved 20-year-old BMW 5 series, it was sitting on the drive doing nothing, we really don't need two cars now,  thus, it failed it's MOT which meant spending a lot of money on it, plus the cost of insurance and road tax, it was a very expensive indulgence!

 (Below the beloved vintage, almost, BMW).

 'Parting is such sweet sorrow !



BMW Tourer 3ID

I knew he was missing his old car so we decided upon another BMW and here it is, (above) Oh! how we love it.  It has cream leather seats with heated front seats for passenger and driver.


 I can get in and out of it quite easily and the seats  are really comfortable.



Later on, in this month we are driving to Powys in mid-Wales to a lovely, ECO 

Lodge holiday cottage, in a pretty little village called St Harmon,


 Rhayader pictured below (Rhayader the oldest town in mid-Wales.)


  I don't doubt himself will, 'put the New car through its paces'.

 We will drive through some beautiful scenery, the area is called ;  

'The Lake District of Wales'.



The river Claerwan which runs through the town and  Elan Valley





The Elan Valley Dam.




The Chapel in the valley at Autumn, the time we shall be visiting,

 I'm so excited as we haven't had a holiday for some time now due to my on-going health issues and my husband 's too!

  We've both spent the past two years in and out of hospital clinics but now as all is settled, for the time being,  we hope to really enjoy this special time together, in the lovely autumnal scenery.


'Happy Anniversary My Darling'

 We will celebrate our 29th Wedding Anniversary, in a gorgeous Eco lodge near to the lovely scenes above. 


My thanks to Denise, a NATIONAL TREASURE who devised ABCW,  Roger the administrator who has NOBLY  worked tirelessly to keep ABCW running, along with the NOTABLE Leslie, and NOT  forgetting the NATTY  team of Abcw helpers.

Di, ABCW team.

M is for Mum!

Bev our amazing hen in action with her month old chicks.
Bev recently lost her companion of 9 years, Mabel - she was lonely, so we sourced some fertile eggs and let her hatch them. Bev has always been a broody hen, an excellent mum.
