Such a beautiful morning to paint this view of Abergavenny and Skirrid from Gilwern Hill, lots of green and distant blue, lots of wildflowers and birdsong.

The Skirrid from Keepers Road
8” x 6” oil on board
I love this view of Skirrid especially in the summer when the fields glow a golden hay colour.

Arthur's Stone, with a wonderful view of the Welsh mountains, including the Skirrid. The cupmarks on the huge capstone were imprinted by a giant's elbows when he fell under Arthur's sword. #TombTuesday

We went UP. Up above the clouds.
All the valleys are fog. The Skirrid is a lone rocky island.

A beautiful walk up The Skirrid. The talk in the pub is that they hope to be featured in a 2nd series of Out There on ITV...

Harold’s Stones, Trellech. A distinctive alignment of 3 stones once thought to commemorate Harold II’s victory over the Welsh (but erected much, much earlier), or rumoured to be tossed by mythical Jack o’ Kent from the nearby Skirrid during a trial of strength with the devil. #StandingStoneSunday

Friday night home pub time. I’ve a pint of Skirrid Ale and a packet of Herefordshire sausage & mustard crisps. Sorry, half a packet as Archie says we’re sharing.

Final episode #PerfectPubWalks with Xander & guest, comedian Chris McCausland. Emotional insights, castles, mountains & finest pubs, the Skirrid Inn, Wales' oldest, the Anchor, the shadow of Tintern Abbey & the Boat, Penallt. Would've liked to see the interiors & know which beers they were drinking
