We’ve begun working on something new. Its working title is:-

Wandering and Wondering in Wales

an exploration

by Peter and Susan Barrett

INTRODUCTION

From a high point near our home on the borders of Devon and Somerset in the southwest of England, we can see Wales. Today, in the mid-winter sunshine, a shining band of white is visible on the far side of the greyish blue Bristol Channel. We wonder what town it is, so far away yet seeming so close. We plan to find out.

During our sixty-three years of our marriage, we’ve worked independently as artist and writer. We’ve also produced books together, the results of the notes and sketches we’ve made while spending time in various parts of the world, mainly America, Greece and New Zealand. It’s time to turn our attention to the country on our doorstep. Over the next six months we will explore the landscapes and seascapes, mountains and valleys, rivers and lakes, waterfalls and canals, railways and mines, and the many castles and curiosities of Wales.

The result will not be a guide book but a personal description of what we find, to be shared with people like us, who no longer wander far from a car park yet still wonder at the wonders to be found.
