I love this quote... music is the space between the notes.

That notion that a certain amount of emptiness is appreciated.

That the space between, the liminal space, allows the notes to resonate, to reach their full potential.

That's where the music happens.

Public Map is a wonderful project to work on… and Tristian is fab. No doubt this will be a really interesting conversation.

Look what I came across in the Pafiliwn Celf at the Urdd Eisteddfod!

A 2D map of Ynys Môn created by pupils from Canolfan Addysg y Bont - a school we, @publicmap.bsky.social, have been working with. Love that they chose to map!

Llongyfarchiadau to the children on their success at the ‘Steddfod 🙌🏻 🥉

Enjoyed discussing 'The Ministry for the Future' by Kim Stanley Robinson with @doersandimprovers.bsky.social today. I hadn't actually managed to read the book😂 but it was great to hear everyone else's views.

It’s 5 years ago today that I published my first issue of Connecting the Dots.

I thought curating things that I come across might help save others time and hopefully would be of interest and useful to people.

And so, here we are about to publish Issue #209!

Diolch for your engagement and support.

I am proud and privileged to be a Co-Investigator on this amazing research project and working with a lovely bunch of people.

I really do think it could change the way we involve, understand, and plan with our communities.

Please check out and follow @publicmap.bsky.social for more info.

Public Map Platform @publicmap.bsky.social · Apr 27

Public Map Platform is a major collaborative research project led by Cambridge, Cardiff, Wrexham and Bangor Universities. Its aim is to show that a transparent and trustworthy planning system based on maps made by and for communities is really possible.

Loved reading 'Tir: The Story of the Welsh Landscape' by Carwyn Graves with @doersandimprovers.bsky.social. Beautiful book about the history of peoples' relationship with the land in Wales and how we might move forward in more sustainable ways.

My e-reader showing the cover of the book Tir by Carwyn Graves. It features lino cut images of trees and animals.
