The north wall of Cardington church, Shropshire, with the faint traces of a north door, a Norman slit window and below it what appears to be a hint of Saxon or early Norman herringbone masonry.

Tea in the garden. Food always tastes better outdoors, I’m not sure why, but it does!❤️

A blustery morning that feels more like March than June sees the departure from Porthmadog of Double Fairlie ‘Dafydd Lloyd George’ in charge of the ‘Woodland Wanderer’ service.

The other day we visited the ancient church of St Beuno’s at Pistyll and I grabbed the opportunity to do this quick sketch from the edge of the churchyard. To the right, just off the page, is the grave of Rupert Davies, probably best known for playing BBC’s Maigret in the 1960s.
