Today was sunny with the odd shower, which made for some nice light and skies at Magor Marsh in South Wales.

Pictured is a sculpture of an 18th century 'brinker' - one who lived beside a 'reen' (drainage channel) in the marsh and was responsible for maintaining the bank. The brinker has nest boxes built into her pockets and was created by local willow-workers, Sarah Hatton and Melanie Bastier.

The sculpture described above is a large wicker-work figure of a woman in long dress and broad-brimmed hat, wielding a scythe to trim the banks of the reen. Her hat is just a frame, possibly picked clean of twigs by nesting birds. She stands in a small wooden-fenced enclosure, reflected in the still waters of the reen. Behind the figure, an open expanse of grasses and reeds is lit by the hazy afternoon sun, backed by a woodland of willows and other deciduous trees, and a distant wind turbine. A bank of low cumulous clouds, dark with rain, float in a blue sky, lit from above, depositing a shower on distant fields beyond the woods.

Enwogion o fri: Diversity Project 2023-2025

Our free #DiversityProject anthology for the #Bywgraffiadur has just dropped on KC Works. Over 40 authors contributed more than 60 articles about the most fascinating people in #Welsh #history you could possibly imagine.

We've covered #BAMEHistory #LGBTQ_ and #DisabilityHistory, #WomensHistory, #ArtHistory, the #HistoryOfScience, #HistoryOfReligion and #Wales

Frankly, there's not a single article in this collection that's not bound to be of interest to someone.

Get your own copy here as PDF or epub. And because we're in Wales, we even offer you two versions.

Book cover for Enwogion o fri, showing two African and South Asian students of Harlech College in the 1960s. They're reading a piece of paper -- and clearly enjoy it.

Been watching the seals the past few weeks along the coast path when out on runs.

Some have been basking in the sun on the surface, bobbing along, others have been moving frantically just below, potentially hunting and others just moving gently along like the one in the picture.

Photo taken whilst freediving a few years ago and looking forward to getting back in at some point this year after a winter of swimming and surfing, as fun as they are, nothing beats enjoying the natural world below the surface too!
