Flashback Friday!!!

It's Friday and the weekend is almost here! I love the weekends, they are all about me!!
This weekend Dad is on his Stag Party and he will be away all weekend, I'm going to miss him soooo much!! It's just me and Mum which is nice because I will snuggle up to her and look after her and keep her safe, she will walk me and play with me almost all day and we will watch movies in bed together and I will get to sleep with her in Mum and Dads bed at night! So as a tribute to Dad here are some "Flashback Friday" photos! Have a great weekend everybody!!!

Me and Dad - I was just a tiny puppy and could sit on his shoulder!

I'm cuddled in to Dads arm, he wishes I was still small like this!

I look so tiny and cute!

I like to climb all over Dad and on to the sofa now too!

Walks.

Dad took me and Mum down the Cycle Track (Route 47) only instead of going my usual way walking to Tedomen, Ystrad Mynach and Penallta he took us the Trelewis way all the way to Bedlinog!

Going over the bridge from Nelson to Trelewis, the train goes underneth it.

The day was cloudy and raining but I really enjoyed the long walk!

New Signs for me to pee on - hee,hee!

Where to go?? ....

The route is lined with these coal seam signs at regular intervals along the walk.

It was a very pretty walk with lots of arch ways and foliage and interesting things to see!

Another coal seam sign built in to the rock!

Looking in to the stream and thinking if I should have a dip in the water, I like swimming now and do it a lot in the warm weather!

At the lakes, it looks so pretty here!

Really pretty stones, they look almost prehistoric!! This looks like a big fern leaf!

This one is like a giant shell!

This rock looks like it had a weird sea creatures pressed on it.

A nice place to watch the world go by and have a picnic! Yummy ... I want treats!

Owww look at the rain on the lake!

The lake with the bouy.

We see a man fishing in the lake, it looks fun!

Sniffing out bait!

WHAT?? Dogs need to be on leads .... ooops I'm running free!!

Hmmm what other dogs have been here??

A very strange orange pond, there is only one of them here on this whole walk, Dad and his friend Geraint go on bike rides up here and they always wonder how this one pond is this colour - if anyone knows why its this colour please let me know!

Could it be rust???

A small nature reserve.

The Pond was full of wildlife!

In Bedlinog, going to the Climbing Centre!

The Climbing Centre!

Cyfarthfa Castle.

Dad took Me and Mum for a walk around Cyfarthfa Castle and Cyfarthfa Park in Merthyr Tidfil.

Cyfarthfa Castle across the lake in Cyfarthfa Park.

Trying to jump in the water because the weather was sooo hot!

Keep Rolling, Rolling, Rolling......

Rolling, Rolling, Rolling!

Lillys in the water anf lots of fish.

I had to stay on my lead around the castle grounds!

Woodland School.

Which way to go???

A pretty and shaded pond.

I went in the pond and it turned out to be very, very muddy! I almost got stuck!

Muddy little paws!

Dirty Dog! - What did you call me?

Woodland walk.

What a beautiful carving of an acorn and the oak leaf.

Cyfarthfa Park and Museum will offer you a warm wecome to what is the "Jewel in Merthyr's Crown" The Crawshay family home, built in 1824 now houses a school and the famous Cyfarthfa Castle Museum, which has recently been awarded the prestigious status as being a Top 10 Valleys destination. Cyfarthfa Park is as important historically as the Castle itself,The new visitor centre, Canolfan Cyfarthfa, Playground and Splash pad are open for their first full season this year, as well as a miniature railway which has been redeveloped.

It was designed in 1824 by the architect Robert Lugar for William Crawshay II, and built at a cost of approximately £30,000 using locally quarried stone. The Crawshays lived in the house until 1889. The castle was sold in 1908 to the local council.

Dad and me pose for a photo by some kind of scary sheeps head!

What is THAT????

The Castle Grounds.

I had a really nice day and enjoyed seeing the Castle and the walk was so much fun! I went home and had a nice sleep!
