A few weeks ago, the weather was set fair so we took off to Anglesey for a bike ride and a night in our tent. I love these 24 hour mini-holidays. Not driving too far and getting fresh sea air is a tonic and I really enjoy exploring places new to us.

I had a new tiny palm sized sketchbook to make a start in. The best sketchbooks are the full ones so I got stuck in. There’s a church tower rising over the dense trees opposite the entrance to the campsite. It’s dedicated to an early Celtic female saint – Saint Ceinwen. Apparently there’s a holy well somewhere in the area – finding where that’s hidden will be a destination for another day!

Thanks for the subject of this next sketch Aunty J!

The following morning, we cycled out to the Cefni Reservoir from Newborough Sands. Most of the route is off the main road, alongside waterways full of wildlife.

I love this time of year. We went on this trip just before Midsummer when growth is at its peak. Have to grab and treasure these days when we can.

Thanks for reading

Capturing lovely campsite greenery there Ronnie. Delighted to find your holiday paintings hidden in painting the street. You truly are a wonderful artist.
Thanks for taking the time to comment Steph! Appreciate your compliment! There are so many greens in the countryside now, especially Anglesey, where the hedegrows are full of life. Ronnie 😊
These are some lovely sketches 🙂
Thanks Yamuna! 😊
