Born and Bred in Galloway, I love nothing better than working with the land.....then sitting down in the middle of nowhere to paint it..... Also @mochrumbelties

Great still day. Tne Belties winter coat is growing, a Jay crosses the lake and returns a while later, a Curlews call draws my attendtion to a flck of 5 some way off, Redwing call as they go overhead on their journey from Iceland. In the midst of a pandemic all is still good

@herdyshepherd1 Wow... high praise indeed! Looking forward to reading it 🙌🏻

“I started to cut my field in the assumption that the old ways are too slow. Pondering the idea over several hours of noisy labour, I began to wonder if the new ways are too fast.” @GallowayGrouse

@GallowayGrouse @SheenaHorner @wainwrightprize @CounterpointLLC @GallowayLodge Sounds like an excellent plan 🍔 🍺

[Helen @HelenRymanArts]

@herdyshepherd1 @heatherkaywood ... the red/brown tinge is a desirable trait to have on the belties....Some people sometimes confuse it with a copper deficiency. It’s far preferable to have them with this coat than a jet black and white 😬

Do you want climate-friendly food that is produced by people you can trust in a way that cares for animals? Take action now and sign the petition to stop food imports produced to illegal standards. https://t.co/nI94mpbYz4

I paint where I’m very fortunate to work. Albeit it’s a useful multitasking tool, moreover it’s because I work in an unadulterated landscape which stirs the soul and invigorates my creative side ....x

@WigtownBookFest I’m taking no responsibility for one called Blair 🤭

If you want more Belties in your life follow @HelenRymanArts

Brilliant stockwoman caring for one of the world’s most famous historic herds of cattle at Mochrum - and an artist - which all sounds to me like a life well-lived

[Helen @HelenRymanArts]

@herdyshepherd1 That’s extremely kind .... thank you. Now blushing and trying to fit my head out of the door....

[Helen @HelenRymanArts]

@herdyshepherd1 Great to catch up & delighted Colonel has a great new home 🏠

[Helen @HelenRymanArts]

@SirBenfro Ha ha... talking seriously, not even stressed talk is enough for my one! And the telephone.... that’s too much for her too....

[Helen @HelenRymanArts]

@SirBenfro I thought it was just my dog who did that. She gets twitchy as soon as I open the laptop ... and heads straight to her bed in another room.

[Helen @HelenRymanArts]

@SheenaHorner ...........face plant.........

[Helen @HelenRymanArts]

@GallowayGrouse Is that Andrew McConchie second on the left?
