Let it rain....!

Wales is well known for being wet. However a look at the Met Office data over the past 30 years shows that May is statistically the driest month, probably the reason that my friends chose May 21st for their wedding in Rhandirmwyn.
Rhandirmwyn is home to a large reservoir called Llyn Brianne http://www.rhandirmwyn.net/llynbrianne/ a good indication that we get a lot of rain, however it has been more or less dry in the valley for most of April and May- except for a few days where the heavens have opened. A glance at the forecast for last weekend did not look promising but we all crossed our fingers and toes and hoped the day would prove the weathermen wrong... unfortunately it did not.

New Beginnings...

Over the past 5 years WRM and I have lived in Northampton, Chipping Norton, Magor (in a mobile home) and Llanafan Fawr. We have been slowly edging west, closer and closer to the valley where we first met and spent a substantial part of our lives.
