As a special treat today my Dad took me to Fan Llia - one of the quieter, lesser known hills in the Brecon Beacons, just above a little village called Ystradfellte. Lovely spot - a nice little parking area right by a crystal clear mountain stream, where we stopped and walked up onto the open moorland. Loads of sheep though (very tempting but a No, No), skylarks galore, meadow pipits, finches, woodpecker, jay, buzzards!
Quite warm at the top after a long walk up, so Dad took me back via the edge of a forestry plantation in the shade and then I had a nice long splash in the mountain stream I told you about. Lovely it was! I then mugged Dad for some of his pasty, lay in the sun and chilled out as I dried.
Dad took me to the distillery in Penderyn on the way back and put something that looked like a bottle into the boot of the car. When we got home, as Mam is away for the day, I notice he hid the bottle at the back of the cupboard. That's gonna cost him dearly - at least a few cocktail sausages that I've seen in the fridge!
Got a lot of photos of the trip which I hope will persuade you to go there one day.

| Time to cool off |
 |
| Where's that fish gone? |
 |
| It got away! Settle for a stick. |
 |
| I'd have preferred a trout! |
 |
| Can't work out how it got away! |
 |
| Time to dry off in the sun |
 |
| Yawn, shut my eyes and go to sleep! |
That's all for now - speak to you again soon.

Looks like you had a great time! I think we'll have to come and join you for a trip there soon as it looks beautiful, and it doesn't look too busy either.
