Hello,

This was posted news from early June.

...Trim or not trim the hedge? Hmmmmm.....That is the question. I surely hope these folks in this cottage like heritage railways! Obviously the hedge was intended.

Here is another view as you approach the curve before it wraps around the cottage.

NGG16's rattling the tea cups....as for me, I could retire and die there.

When can I leave?

Cheers!

Why rent? The owners planted the hedges and then put up the property for sale! (No kidding!)

Best Regards,
Glenn

Probably didn't like the weather (it rains a lot in Wales) or the other neighbours (sheep).....

Folks,

What is also interesting about these pictures is the use of the steel sleepers or what ever they call the ties in Wales.

It is good to see the continued expansion.

They invented railway preservation in Wales with the two foot (more or less) gauge lines.

I hope to ride them some day!

Thanks for the neat photos!
