I spent a lot of my visit to Chester walking along the city walls. This was my favourite bit, around the Kaleyard Gate. In this weekend’s painting, the ancient wall is framed by 18th and 19th century buildings and trees. In the distance is the King Charles Tower. #painting #chester

Great to see so many people at the Dee Trust open evening last night, and a fantastic reaction to my short film. It was a pleasure to make, spending time with the Dee Trust staff and volunteers, and exploring the beautiful, complex and unique River Dee. #conservation #riverdee #waterpollution
