Through the old window
We walked up to Caerphilly Common today, weather was lovely, and it’s a nice 4 mile trek through the forest, with the promise of a bacon sarnie at the cafe when you get there. There is a crumbling old farmhouse along the route, this was through one of the old windows.

Was lovely sunny day in Cardiff, people were in t shirts and flowers were blooming.
