Being about the same age as Bruce and a little younger than Bill, I tend to use the Seven a bit like an invalid carriage (although I haven't yet tried driving it around the Co-op!)
Anyway, given that the town is only a mile and a half from me, it seems silly just to take the little car just the three miles there and back, so the Motoring Dog and I came home via Llyn Celyn. (Well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)
It also gives the Motoring Dog the opportunity for a sniff and a run across the dam.
Whilst there, i noticed that our local signwriters have been at it again!
Photos:- (I haven't yet found a way of putting the captions underneath the photos. Perhaps someone could advise.)
1. FG in the car park. Well this is an Austin Seven forum after all.
2. A view across the lake. It has been grey and overcast all day. What happened to the sunny weather we were promised?
3. Llewellyn, the Motoring Dog. Since he has only appeared as a vaguely discernible pair of ears in previous posts, i thought I would give him his fifteen minutes of fame!
4, 5 and 6. The art of the signwriter. They read (in order): " Ni ildiwn fyth" ("we shall never surrender"), "Cofiwch Dryweryn" ("Remember Tryweryn") and "Fe godwn ni rhyddid i Gymry eto" (" We shall rise to free Wales again")
Given that it is sixty years since the dam was built, it appears that old wounds don't heal easily!
