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.

It might need a quick squirt of WD40 to get this tractor running smoothly! Llanfrothen, North Wales.

The other day I sat in the wildflower-strewn churchyard of St Hywyn’s at Aberdaron and drew this quick sketch of this beautiful setting.❤️ @VisitLlyn @visitwales @VisitNorthWales

Visited St Brothen’s, Llanfrothen yesterday - such a delight! The churchyard is an overgrown wildlife haven and I carefully threaded my way through the nettles to create this 10 minute sketch. @friendschurches @visitwales @VisitNorthWales

I can’t quite put into words what it’s like to see my illustration wrapped around a double decker bus - I’m gobsmacked! #bassenthwaitelakestation #afternoonteabus

If one image could encapsulate three wonderful @channel5_tv episodes of Sam & Ade Go Birding then this must be it. The honest joy, wonder and delight in the faces of @exitthelemming and @AdrianEdmondson on seeing a starling murmuration says it all. First rate viewing!⭐️❤️😎❤️⭐️

Whatever you are doing, stop! Tune in to @channel5_tv and watch @AdrianEdmondson and @exitthelemming in the last of this wonderful - alas, far too short - charming and delightful series. A true balm for our troubled times.❤️

Well, the garden seed feeders have been emptied for the last time and will be cleaned and stored until the autumn. We are sad to follow the advice of the @Natures_Voice @RSPBEngland but we understand and appreciate that our finches are at risk. ❤️🐦⬛❤️

Fond memories of Wells and its glorious cathedral as I’m collating packs of fundraising notecards for a church choir in the United States. The choir are crossing the Atlantic to visit the cathedral next year - such a special place for choral music! @WellsCathedral1 @CityOfWells❤️
