Joy!

Which is very topical for this Christmastide.

But on this occasion the joy is not so much for the birth of a baby as the opening of Llandrinio bridge once again. All systems Go, as you can see.

Apart from the lorries - of which there are many use this as part of their regular route - for which there is no similar joy for now.

But open in time for the visit to Shrewsbury last evening for a bite to eat after a long day and the shopping for a morsel or two to eat over the festive few days.

And of course for the arrival of family today.

Here's to a great few days celebrating Christmas together.
