Thrilled to find a #Bullace tree in a local hedge. A strain of the insititia subspecies of Prunus domestica (thanks Wikipedia). Apparently popular in the time of the #Tudors

I parked overnight under a hazel tree. A hazel tree with nuts. A hazel tree with nuts that the squirrels had found.

Found a great copy, in an English translation, of "The Trials of Enoc Huws" by Daniel Owen in Books Llangollen. My great uncle was secretary of the Daniel Owen Society for many years.
