I live in the Mountains
Not the Himalayas, not the Alps. The Welsh mountains. I can see the Mynydd Du from where I live. The Welsh mountains are not high. Mynydd Du is something over 800 metres. A friend in America said it's like the Appalachians.
I didn't go there last year. We weren't allowed more than 5km from our home except to go to school.
Maybe this summer. I love to walk on Mynydd Du. It means Black Mountain. It is limestone and there are loads of sink holes from the ice age but very few streams. But there is one, far from the road, and a waterfall where the river cascades down a gorge and on the crags there grows a mountain ash tree. Skinny and scraggy like me. It's been there ever since I was little. It doesn't grow any taller. It's the only tree on the whole mountain. But it grows flowers each year and in September it will have berries. Just a few.
