The last Op Nightingale project of 2025 was sensational. We aimed to find more of the Llyn Cerrig Bach hoard AND SUCCEEDED! All finds are subject to treasure assessment so no images yet bar this ww2 medal & toy truck! #anglesey #druids #ironage #celts #heritage #archaelogy #veterans #wellbeing
A lake with reeds and bushes - this is Llyn Cerrig Bach A hand in a black glove holds an orange toy truck A hand holds a Second World War medal in the shape of a star A man in green costume holding an ancient brass trumpet with a boars head and claret coloured decorations. The lake of Llyn Cerrig Bach as background with a grey sky

Tonight on BBC Radio 3, Matthew and the Song Detectorists discover why a gentlewoman from Wiltshire collected this salty song of the sea (sung by the wonderful Melrose Quartet).

Tune in at 21:45 or listen afterwards on BBC Sounds.

I’m going to have to go back to the Hafod y Porth copper mine high on the slopes of Cwm y Bleiddiad (valley/hollow of the wolf), Eryri for a more detailed look as I didn’t have time yesterday. I passed a powder store on the miners track, the managers house & smithy & a nice circular powder magazine

If history teaches us one thing
Never trust a man who would be king
Who seeks all power for himself
To burnish his prestige and wealth

And a nation born in revolution
Should know this offers no solution
For there can be no liberty
Where one man rules with impunity

Les Pissenlits / Dandelions, Jean-François Millet, 1867-8. Pastel on paper. Can’t help thinking of Dürer’s piece of turf & other artists who have looked at smaller & overlooked plants at our feet. Though also struck that the provenance on MFA website says it was a work done on commission…

In which cafe would you choose to spend your eternal days?

Lovely piece from @gwallter.bsky.social gwallter.com/travel/heave...

(And I'm still thinking about the answer)

Once again pointing out how insane it is that it takes the same amount of time to walk to walk to Cardiff Bay as it does to take public transport.

It's a joke!

And it's not like there's secure bike locking there.

‘A Day in Autumn’ - #RSThomas
(Poetry for Supper, Rupert Hart-Davis)
Text of poem - A Day in Autumn. It will not always be like this, The air windless, a few last Leaves adding their decoration To the trees' shoulders, braiding the cuffs Of the boughs with gold; a bird preening In the lawn's mirror. Having looked up From the day's chores, pause a minute, Let the mind take its photograph Of the bright scene, something to wear Against the heart in the long cold. - RS Thomas
