Painted a black frame around the storage container mural at Cwmffrwdoer Primary makes a big difference, enhances the colours and finishes it off ! Enjoyed working on this one. If any schools would like a storage container painted, please message me and I’ll come take a look at it 😊👍

Weatherman Walking returns tomorrow night with 8 new and wonderful walks. Tomorrow I'm on Anglesey walking from Aberffraw to Rhosneigr. I visit St Cwyfan's church, try out a beach sauna and present a local hero award. Watch on BBC One Wales Monday 7pm and on BBC iPlayer 😁
