We have lost the exceptional weather, but gained a baby otter in the canal at the bottom of the garden, and the first brood of ducklings invading the terrace. The hot spell has also brought out the Alder leaves along the canal, blocking the view of Pen Y Fan from the house for another summer. Walking conditions are very good indeed but the rivers are low and likely to remain so until the Autumn.
