Getting fit -

  or should I say "fitter"?

Certainly the walks became more demanding in no time.

The first test of mental fitness was navigating the not so narrow car

along and up the very narrow country lanes.

Forget straight roads - there will be more bends than you think possible

and some of them quite narrow.

 Forget visibility - there are high hedges to the left and to the right.

Forget white lines in the middle of the lane - there are none.

Forget everything! Just concentrate and be ready to slam on the brakes,

back or skip into a passing berth some place below.

However,

having braved a country lane uphill for a while,

usually the rewards will be plenty.

On the left a lime quarry near Crickhowell

 The quarry is famous for its caves

The "Sugarloaf"

Quite some time later up on the hilltop

Everything growing ...

.... has plenty of character ... 

... and comes with a magic of its own,

.. be it through shape ... 

...  colour ...

... or eyecatching contrasts.

 And you two are altogether something quite different again!
