Wales got hit with a case of Real Life Folklore over the Christmas period. I went walking in the forests in the hills and thought I had ended up in the Mabinogion.

Glad to see we finally own China. We need it REALLY badly to defend Abersychan… The great Abersychan-Abergavenny war…. So many young boys lost….really sad…and no-one talks about it anymore…..

'Shwmae - hello' Ok so lets go with this new platform and see how it goes. This is the Cwmsychan Brook from which my little village of Abersychan gets its name taken on a beautiful morning this week and all the more beautiful just now with leaves the colour of Welsh gold.

'Hanes Cudd - Hidden History' Late afternoon at the Lasgarn Woodland, Abersychan yesterday. This old embankment for the horse drawn tramroad built to haul limestone from the quarries to the local ironworks is not so hidden now that the leaves have had their autumn fall.

Discovering a favourite place and then getting to know it well is one of life’s pleasures. Places such as Mynydd Farteg Fawr, full of beauty like the work of an Old Master.✍️

'Y Coetir yn y Gwanwyn - The Woodland in Spring' I think Wild Garlic in bloom is my favourite time in the woodland and the Lasgarn Wood, Abersychan is just lovely at the moment, though I have a feeling that in another week it will be glorious.

There's been a huge fire for days up in Torfaen up in the Brecon beacons, over by Blaenavon and Abersychan, I think. Started on Sunday. Obviously the fire services are aware and actively working on it. It's covering 200 hectares of land!

'Ffenestri Coetir - Woodland Windows' So many 'windows' through which to view Mynydd Farteg in the distance and so many layers of history in this view of old quarry workings at The Lasgarn Woodland, Abersychan. Nature has done so much here to heal this landscape.

Tony Benn, Aneurin Bevan, Paul Murphy (he bought the whole pub a round once 😂 class bloke that never forgot his roots in Abersychan and helped in the NI peace agreement) There are others, but hard to find I'm sure

I will never forget the Christmas fog of 2024, it was absolutely amazing to experience
This was at the top of the cloud cover so the light shining through washed out the photo so much that the raw image almost looked monochrome

I took the infrared camera out into the fog and got some of my favourite #aerochrome shots I've taken so far
The combination of the otherworldly colours, the ominous fog and the beautiful Welsh forest was a match made in heaven

Full time union official by the time he was growing up, but, yes. Bevan (a fellow Monmouth Valleys man, do note: also had the speech impediment!) liked to rebut charges that Jenkins was lazy by pointing out that anyone from Abersychan with *that* accent was by definition not lazy.
