Hi,
A lovely encomium to the hawthorn and economic too. I love the smell, it is so redolent of early summer! I remember it in hedgerows from aeons ago.

Hi Rhiannon,
You have encapsulated the calm of the bay and also what it can be like in stormy conditions. Lovely painting too. There are many lovely places in Pembrokeshire! Hope you feel better soon.

The sunrise is truly inspirational, isn't it? This was described very well ! I remember going away for a few days to the seaside and waking up early I saw a beautiful sunrise from my room over the sea. It's something that stays...
