quiet couple with two cats looking for a small, ideally unfurnished house to rent in the uk, preferably wales.

we're currently living in france but struggling and very unhappy; we need to move back for a variety of reasons (of which i'm happy to give details on request).

we both work, although i am disabled. our budget is very small, but my husband has lots of building skills and could help with any kind of renovation / maintenance. and we could help with other things too: we have abilities!

(full disclosure: we are not in a good place financially right now, but france is insanely expensive and has very few opportunities for us both to peddle our wares. we would save a lot of money and be able to earn more were we home again.)

if anyone knows of anything, please let me know.

thank you!

(please boost for greater reach, thank you)

Sore feet after a 12-mile walk this afternoon to a location known as World's End. These three pictures were of the destination, but the stars of the show were cows. Hairy cows. You'd better like cows for the pictures I have to follow 😊

View of the same weir from the road, showing the stream crossing through rows of rocks either side. Trees all around Sunny
Panoramic view of narrow country road curved into a sharp horseshoe bend at head of valley. Weir to right, as road climbs beyond. Road descends to left. Within curve, a stream and field with many and varied tall trees. Hills beyond on horizon

And now for the main show. HAIRY COWS! First the grown-ups..

💕😊

A large, heavy chestnut bull. Hairy! Horns curved forward. Standing, turning to camera, being protective of a tan cow, resting behind. Both in a sloping meadow
Same bull and cow pair in a meadow. Him, standing behind, turning to face camera. Her, still lying, just glancing at camera from beneath long fringe
Similar pose of same pair, but now both looking directly to the left

And last but not least, the hairy kids, hanging out by a shaded stream 😊

💕😊

A curious, tan, hairy calf, standing in shade of tree above, looking at camera. Grassy meadow banking a stream in foreground
Three calves, two tan ones in field, standing just beyond stream in which a chestnut calf stands. All hairy. All looking at me! Leafy branch of tree in foreground above
Cute tan, hairy calf, standing in field, looking to camera and smelling the air. Long hair and fringe hiding eyes. Tree stump on stony bank, on edge of stream, in foreground to right. Leafy branch in foreground above and to left

Two calves, one partially hidden behind tree with multiple trunks by streams edge. The other, chestnut coloured and hairy, standing in the foreground and facing, ankle deep in the stream, looking directly at camera while chewing a piece of long grass. Field rising beyond. Edge of riverbank on foreground showing numerous wild flowers

    An absolutely lovely 10 mile walk this afternoon. Had everything. Animal rescue, nature, solitude, romance, beauty, new life, amity 💕😊

    A sample of moments.. a few further details in ALT text of each

    More pics to follow

    Romantic view of a young couple seen in the distance, silhouetted, walking together, hand in hand, beneath overarching trees in full leaf on a warm sunny day, along a country section of canal. The young woman, on the right, in a summer dress, is looking up to the man in t-shirt and shorts
    Good sized slow worm in the kerbside of a road, about to climb the kerb, organic matter from trees and plants above collected in side of road. Found this little friend being harassed by a pair of crows, so I moved it to safety in some nearby undergrowth, away from traffic and predators
    There has to be one panoramic picture. This one from about a 1000 feet, across canopy of trees in leaf to distant plains below, seen through blue haze. A viaduct visible in thebdistance

    A mandarin duck community in a quiet section of the canal, far from human habitation..

    Female mandarin duck, also seen standing on canalside low wall, against background of long grasses, scattered with small blue flowers. she is not as brightly-coloured, with a grey head and white stripe behind the eye, brown back and mottled lower sides and chest
    Another female mandarin duck, swimming in canal waters in the sun, green foliage and reeds from above reflected in the ripples of its brown waters
    A mandarin duckling swimming along, carrying something egg shaped in its small beak. Perhaps an acorn?

    A male mandarin duck with its glorious plumage. Orange feathers on the side of the face, a purple chest, deep blue shoulders, large orange feathers that stick up like sails on its back, white breast and forehead and orange feet. Seen standing on canalside low wall, against background of long grasses, scattered with small blue flowers

    OMG! Did someone mention ? Photos taken just this evening amid the largest geomagnetic storm for two decades. Long exposure, but all visible to the naked eye also, including the colours

    With thanks to @timberwraith for letting me know it was happening. Two hours ago I was heading for bed. Once in a lifetime opportunity. So glad I didn't miss it. Thank you! 🙏🏼

    I used to frequent this pub occasionally, while it still stood among the wreckage of a demolition site all around. Great that it's been preserved at St. Fagan's, I'd love to visit there again one day.

    A lovely long walk this morning, along the canal and various country roads, to the aqueduct that crosses the valley floor. Felt very spring-like, this May Day, and the trees are rapidly coming into leaf. More pics to follow

    Green everywhere! Peaceful stretch of river, on a bend, reflecting trees all around and grassy banks
    Two barges on a canal, one passing another, path to right, green trees reflected in waters, dappled light
    High arched aqueduct, crossing the wooded valley, above river below. Two cyclists on aqueduct, silhouetted against blue sky. A few white clouds

    Some sheep friends and more pics from today's walk..

    A couple of barges on a peaceful canal stretch. Path to left with a couple out for a stroll. Sunlit trees overhanging, all around
    A beautiful tree, laden with catkins, on the bend of an empty country lane bounded with hedgerows. Wooded hills beyond
    Stretch of river reflecting blue skies and crossed by a stone bridge built out of red stone, with multiple arches. A lovely house on left riverside, surrounded by trees. Both banks of river wooded

    Another 10-mile walk. Today, I returned to The Witches Woods. There's something truly wonderful about being deep in woodland, alone. More photos to follow these four..

    Path through woodland, a mixture of conifers and deciduous trees coming into leaf. Shade lit by a few rays of light from above
    Undulating path through woodland of tall conifers

    Daily today is another wild flower, the quite unlikely bee orchid (Ophrys apifera), which is really rare round here. There’s one spot, in a dune slack, and that’s it. Not saying which set of dunes, either …

    And it definitely merits a !
