Abergavenny Visit

On the way for a day out, a surprise new mural at Penarth's Station waiting area.

As per usual,  Aber's market had unusual decorations and was very busy.

After a lovely lunch there we strolled over to the Linda Vista Garden,

clearly suffering from the effects of the three heat waves this summer.

On the way home, a stop off at Cwmbran to visit the Llantarnam Grange,

passing this natural sculpture 

to see the Hidden Women Untold Stories exhibition by the artist, Prith B. Each painting related to a written account of each lady's untold story. 

Strawberry Tea Party

 

Fun in the sun.

The Sun flower meets the Sun

With more to come.
 

Two days later.

Down to the Italian Garden

 

To listen to the Vale of Glamorgan Brass Band.

Garden Peaks

 

The result of two heat waves.
