6th May 2012 Fairy Glen
An enjoyable walk with Grandson in Fairy Glen. Someone had sprinkled "Fairy Dust" along the footpaths in the wood and near the stream (River Tawd) Jack loved it. I do love this time of year with the many flowers, noise of the running water and birds in full song. Help with the flower we have tried to identify many times, will be appreciated.
