Aldon Gutter was a new discovery; with its old buildings and some fine mature trees it still retains an archaic quality. This for me is not a bad thing. It seems like an oasis and still has a good mix of interesting flora and fauna which have managed to survive the ravages of time.

Whitcliffe Common, above Ludlow, is one of the few places I know where Goats Beard can still be commonly found. It is a plant, like the dandelion, associated with clocks and the passing of time. The Common is also alive with various other wild meadow plants and grasses. These days, it is an uncommon place.

Caer Caradoc has an appeal that is hard to explain. It obviously has a character and a history all of its own which demands to be contemplated. Each time I climb it I find myself reflecting, not only on Caer Caradoc, but on some aspect of my life also… It must be something to do with the steep slopes, and whilst carrying all my necessary painting gear, the slow plodding required to get up it.

Ynyslas, near Borth, is one of those special places I visit regularly. It is situated at the mouth of the Dovey Estuary. Standing on this spit of sand it seems as if things are timeless and yet everything constantly changes with the ebb and flow of the tide. There is a primordial quality here…..but it is also one of those places listed to ‘not be here any more’ by 2050 due to Sea Level Rise.
Further out, when the tides are low, can be seen the remains of a fossilised forest.
