Heritage, gardening, music and relaxing; not necessarily in that order. Usual disclaimers apply.

@kateferguson4 @SophiaSleigh It's a potentially interesting project exploring the reach of the British Empire through an iconic foodstuff traditionally regarded as purely Welsh - think nutmeg, currants, sugar. Let's not allow a push to eliminate waste become an anti-intellectual attack on a young woman.

Happy 84th birthday to Claudette Colvin!

She refused to move to the back of a bus 9 months before Rosa Parks, the NAACP did not want to use her to represent them because she was 15 & pregnant.

Today's the feast of St Monica, the 4th Century North African mother of the wayward St Augustine. Here she is, deep in conversation with St George on the reredos at East Barsham, Norfolk. Often presented as a model of patience and piety, she is the patron saint of difficult marriages and those with disappointing children.

This photograph was taken 90 years ago, in the summer of 1933. It shows the newly constructed Western Avenue in #Cardiff, looking east towards the Taff bridge. The image comes from the records of the Planning Department of Cardiff City Council.
