"As soon as he could walk, Moira had taken Aidan on her travels with her. When the spring came, they’d set out across Tangnafedd, to all the places where the best herbs grew – wormwood in the hills in the North, basil in Gwylian bay, lavender on the high fields near Silvermere, St. John’s wort in the thickets of pine forests.
Moira seemed to know every village, every settlement and solitary farmstead in the talaith, so when night came, they always found a place to sleep. Even if hospitality hadn’t decreed that every traveller be given a place at the hearth and something to eat, they were always welcomed, for there was always an aching tooth, a sprained ankle, a fevering child or a badly-healing wound, and the villagers knew that Moira could always help.
Aidan knew no other life, and desired no other life." |

I was wondering, the place names you use for your paintings with Aidan, are they real places in Wales? That is, assuming that it is Welsh, but it looks like Welsh to me. But beyond that, the landscape is very well done.

They're not real places in Wales - It may be that a place like this exists because I use words that make up believable place names if I can, but if they do exist it's not intentional. I've dubbed "my" country Rhyddion, but it's basically Wales. :)
