Oer ond anhygoel.

It was -8C here yesterday morning - the coldest it’s been since we moved here. The mountains are covered in snow and the ground is an ice rink, but it’s that view that takes my breath away #snow #mountains #cymru

A dramatic lightning and hail storm this afternoon left us with no electricity for a few hours. I can’t say I minded too much. My chandelier candelabra seemed like a daft purchase when I bought it a decade ago, but it’s come into its own more than once over the years.

Wales by night is a cosy place to be despite the weather. Fire lit, soft light, peaceful evening. Heddwch.

#BoreDa pawb! What a glorious morning it is. Autumn has finally arrived. It’s not a terrible view to wake up to every morning.

Dw i’n gweithio ar fy hyder yn ysgrifennu yn y #Gymraeg. Does dim byd yn mynd i newid heb taflu fy hunain mewn i’r bwrlwm.

And that sentence with my English autocorrect:
Dwarf I’m gweithio are fy hydrogen yn ysgrifennu yn y gym raw. Doesn’t dime budget until my dad I newish Henry tagliatelle fy hunting means i’r barley

Thanks for your help #autocorrect

This is the latest in the year that I have ever gone #sea swimming. I’ve always been a fair weather swimmer.

I am usually a reluctant Welsh-writer, because I know it’s imperfect, but i’m trying to lose that fear. Roedd y dŵr yn oer, y gwynt yn gryf, a’r teimlad yn anhygoel.

My legs felt like a thousand needles prickled them as I got in, but there is nothing like it for bringing you into the moment. It was glorious, bendigedig, perffaith, perfection.

I’m deeply sorry everyone, I tried to hold back for as long as I could, but it’s begun.

I’ve started making an unnecessary number of stars. Every year it gets a little earlier, so be grateful it’s actually Winter.

I haven’t gone so far as to actually start Christmas shopping yet, I’m glad to say, but it’s only a matter of time.
