Thank you. I know her work was the most important thing but she was such a beautiful woman as well.

It would be very easy to link this piece to current events, but I’ll just say Everything is Connected.

Thinking about setting myself an Inktober challenge (still a month off I know). I love to draw people with interesting ‘lived in’ faces. If anyone wants to send me photo of someone you know I will try to sketch them (no promises on quality).

Did Fiona Shaw ever play Mary Shelly? If not, it feels like a missed opportunity.

Pleased to have managed to read a Welsh-language novel (well more of a novella, but still) for the first time. I didn’t understand every word but was able to follow pretty well. The narrator voice comes across really strongly even to someone reading in their second language.

I mean, the in-canon answer is ‘eating babies’ but I like your ideas better.

Couldn’t photograph the pine marten so here is an artist’s impression I’ve been working on.

Saw a wild pine martin today on a walk at Ynys Hir RSPB reserve. Little guy sat at the base of a tree for a few seconds looking at me before running off. Very cool to see! Sadly I wasn’t quick enough to get a picture. So here’s a pretty view of the estuary instead.

Just finished reading The Drowned Woods by Emily-Lloyd Jones. Very enjoyable story inspired by the legend of Cantref y Gwaelod the sunken kingdom of Cardigan bay. I really like her writing style.

If you're a non-trans woman in UK, who doesn't think banning trans ppl from toilets helps with *any* of the issues currently facing women (e.g. attempts to prosecute women who have had miscarriages for suspected illegal abortions) you might want to read and sign this petition:

Not in our name: Women in support of the trans+ community

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?
