Image: Sugar Loaf, Abergavenny, 5 October 2025
A foreground of orangey-brown, windswept ferns takes up half of the (portrait) image. Behind, a rusty-coloured hill with a distinctive flat peak. Weaving paths are worn into the sides of the hill, and a wide mown area has created a yellowy-green ‘belt’ to about halfway up. White dots litter the hillside, as sheep graze freely on the slopes. The top of the hill is slightly misty, and above sits thick, billowing grey cloud.

A laptop is sat, open, on a bed of moss, in a verdant, light-dappled woodland. (We don't know why it's there – that's not important right now.) On the laptop is the cover of a report: on the minty green background are the words “Cultural Website Sustainability Benchmark Report 2025”. To the bottom right is the Supercool logo.

In the foreground, a hilltop field of sun-scorched grass with a dozen of so sheep close-by looking towards us. Top left, a tree pokes into view – shading several of the sheep. Another couple of dozen sheep are further away, dotted around the field. In the mid ground, another hill – this one packed with lush green trees. Behind that, a hazy patchwork of fields on another hill. The top of it is encased by low white clouds. Above that, breaks in the cloud reveals a bright blue sky.

A clear, sunny day – under the bright blue sky, a distant black hill is visible as a strip across the horizon. Beneath the hilltop is “dragon’s breath” – a thick mist, following the course of the river below. In the mid-and foreground, rolling green hills are dotted with trees, with lush ferns cascading in from the lefthand side of the frame.

Bright blue sky is covered with a blanket of cloud in parts. In the foreground, lush green ferns sit in front of a grassy hillside field. There are sheep dotted around. Behind this, a line of broadleaf trees, then sun-dappled hillsides and mountains in the distance. The unmistaken pert silhouette of Abergavenny's Sugar Loaf Mountain can be made out.

Dark, dark green seaweed with bobbly, oblong pods and blue-grey mussels cling to a knobbly rock in the foreground; which takes up half of the picture. The background is all blurred but more seaweed and mussel-covered rocks sit behind the in-focus ones. And behind them, two curves of green hills, and a blue-grey cloudy sky.

A pale orange sun spreads its rays over a valley. The sky is clear and pale blue. An orange-tinted, shadowy ridgeway peeks up from behind low mist. In the foreground a country lane, lined with hedgerows and electricity wires that look like spider webs on wooden poles to one side, winds downhill into the distance towards a misty pine wood

Clear-skied sunrise over a distant hill. An orange-hued horizon sits above a long ridgeway in the background. In the mid- and foreground are soft hills and fields. To the left, a leaf-less tree creates a striking silhouette.

Our festive team thing was this afternoon – making kokedama (bonsai moss balls) in an online workshop.

It was a bit messy. There were a few worms. And a plant or two may've seen better days.

But it was fun – and we have some great-looking kokedama to show for it / give away as Christmas gifts.
