Anvil shaped storm cloud (I would guess somewhere over the Lozoya Valley), sunset and, yes, it came our way. Another very stormy sleepless night! Enough is enough! (Sorry about the bit of camera shake clearly visible in those town lights!)

Not the most spectacular sunset but the light just highlighted the Sierra de La Cabrera rather nicely here, I thought. Probably better on large. I add a note about the old road. We're lucky that the view is unspolt. The main roads to neighbouring villages go well to the left and right of our view! Please see Pam J's response below. Much there of great interest!

On my usual path to the pub. Somewhat later in the day as my Dad's back in hospital (doing OK in the circumstances) and my timetable alters somewhat! The tree branch silhouettes appealed. This is pretty much as I saw it. I did a little editing simply to remove some of the excessive glare, but other than a little cropping, nothing really! Sight and sound: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhYTb5J2rNc A bit of Van Morrison and Them never did any harm!

She still keeps an amazing garden with interest all the year round. I don't think I've captured it at sunset before now.

Not much to add here really but it seemed a bit more colourful than the usual sunset.

A nice sky and twilit fields leading up to Carn Marth. Probably better on large. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZmeFGmiQDI A classic and very underrated performancde by War. Sight and Sound

There are two pubs in St Day; The St Day Inn, also known as 'Top House' and The Star here, known as 'Bottom House' on account of the fact that this one lies at the foot of Vogue Terrace, a long descent from the centre of the village. Both pubs have their charms although they are very different in character. With pubs closing at a rate of knots, it's good to be able to have a choice. Long may that continue!

Our near neighbours, the former Primitive Methodists chapel. It was built in 1885 so is newer than my parents' house by about 50 years. It ceased to be used for worship not long after it was built and is now a warehouse of sorts. The low structure with the corrugated iron roof houses our outside loo! No reason for this except that it amused me! www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbuFLUJ89Kw

We can't quite see the sunset from here but we can certainly see the colour changes to the clouds in the wider picture. I do have to say though, that we do sometimes get some excellent skies!

Always difficult to video or photo as they are so quick! They do a great service by keeping the mosquito population down. They are normally seen just as the sun sets. Best on full screen and further enlargement to view the bat!

Evening sky from the upper terrace. (The setting sun is behind me).

Why bats? Because I was attempting to capture at least one clear shot of the pipistrelle bats that come out to feeds at dusk! They simply move much too fast! Oh well, there is one fairly obvious bat here and maybe two. These bats roost in next door's eaves and are accepted happily for one very important reason and that is they help to keep the mosquito population way down and for that I am extremely grateful! The bat is easier to see on large!

Little did I imagine in 2018 that in 2 years time i'd be living on top of that hill!

Wisteria in the evening light. Viewed from the front of the house.

Madrid in the far distance. (35 km away) Best on large / full screen.
