Yesterday, Saturday 16th at Ynys-hir at about 9:00 I caught sight of a lovely Hare loping along near the "cross-roads". I walked down towards the cattle grid to see if I could get a second look and was rewarded with the sight of 2 Hares, one chasing the other hell-for-leather around the rough pasture to the right of the track. When they went out of sight I stood for a few moments quietly chuckling to myself and feeling strangely up-lifted. Then a lone hare came scampering along the track towards me and stopped only about 20 meters away, apparently surprised to see me. I held my breath as we studied each other for a while before he loped off again. By now, for some strange reason I was feeling ridiculously happy and pleased with life in general. I turned to walk back to the "cross-roads" when another Hare popped out from the gate into the woods. This one also loped towards me, stopped quite close by, stared for a while and then climbed onto the dry-stone wall and disappeared over it and into the wood. I swear I was stone-cold sober, it really did happen!
