Lovely job for @nationaltrust.org.uk Dinefwr: for every xmas they commission a local fibre artist to create tree decorations of the wildlife on site. But they realised they'd never told the public about the decorations. So they commissioned me to illustrate & create interpretation panels:

This is beautiful. During the last year, I often shared posts from this account with my dear friend. She loved trees and loved art, and reminded me to find joy in the simple things in life. Thank you @womensartbluesky.bsky.social for providing comfort to us both. I keep sharing in her memory.

So much of Cymru/Wales's heritage lost in a single theft.. ...Items from Llanwrthwrl, Powys, Capel Isaf, Carmarthenshire, Heyope, Powys, & the spectacular Early Bronze Age gold lunula from Llanllyfni, Gwynedd. 😞 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Megalithic Locmariaquer #standingstonesunday - The Grand Menhir Brisé and the capstone of the nearby Table des Marchands. The capstone, with an engraving of an axe was re-used from another broken menhir, likely from the same alignment as the Grand Menhir. Such an impressive site.

Lucky to spend #tombtuesday waliking among the Carnac alignments. Photo 1 - dolmen on the western edge of the Kermario alignments. Photo 2 - menhir on top of burial mound at Le Manio.

"Helsinki has not recorded a single traffic fatality in the past 12 months, city and police officials confirmed this week." This is the direct and predictable result of policy decisions, not random happenstance. #visionzero #publichealth yle.fi/a/74-20174831

Today, I am following the coastal path from Blaenplwyf to Aber. Grey and blustery but lovely views.

It is in this context that Dickinson wrote her great poem about hope: the little bird that never stops singing, sings sweetest in a storm, cannot be abashed, keeps us warm, sings where it is cold and strange and dark, and never, no matter how extreme the trials, asks anything in return. /6

A group of Labour MPs, peers and supporters write: “We should legislate to root out DEI in hiring practices, sentencing decisions and wherever else we find it in our public bodies.” Devastated to see how quickly this has arrived in the UK mainstream. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Wales and Scotland rarely exist in the minds of London-based political commentators and news organisations.

Award-winning author and screenwriter Fflur Dafydd returns with her most gripping novel yet - a psychological crime thriller that blends crime, identity, and buried secrets against the haunting backdrop of a Welsh town devastated by floods

Smoke from the ongoing wildfires at Cwm Rheidol and Ffair Rhos has drifted down the valleys to Aberystwyth. Hazy today and smell of smoke in the air. Not what we usually get in April in West Wales, but we can expect more in a warming world.

Once I got the DIRTIEST look during a conference panel when a facilities manager asked me if technology gave me hope for the future. I said ramps are older than old and we still can’t get those put in, so no, it doesn’t. Tech is only as good as the people doling it out.
