Yes, I was aiming for a Ravilious/Lowry (LS not Malcolm) mash-up… …and I confess to being rather proud: both of the cover and to be associated with this book. Feel free to judge either by the other…

I love mountain roads. I love the vantage they confer. I love the shapes they describe: all loops and flourishes. I love to draw them on maps. I love to FEEL the terrain in the paper. The Bwlch Mountain Love Letters to Elsewhere #Bwlch #Rhondda #Cwmparc #Wales #workinprogress
