Two of us went on a walking holiday in Mid-Wales last week. We went with a non-profit making tour company to visit places of Christian interest, and were accompanied on some of the walks by local Christian leaders. As she walked along with us the Rev. Lucyann Ashdown spotted this lonely lamb, and carried it back to its mother, thus giving us a practical demonstration of how she deals with lost sheep in her parish!
High up in the hills our group visited the most isolated chapel in Wales at Soar, a very long way from the nearest village.
Yet inside the old box pews are kept spotlessly clean, and weddings are held there most weekends.
Here are the ruins of the Cistercian Abbey of Strata Florida near Pontrhydfendigaid, which was founded in about 1150 but dissolved by Henry VIII in 1540.
