Somewhat ironic after years of searching NZ academic books on farming for anything about sheepdogs to finally come across this picture in Rollo Arnold's 'Farthest Promised Land', not least because its a picture an English sheepdog held by the @themerl.bsky.social

This is Alec Millar relaxing after winning the International Sheepdog Trial at Criccieth in 1925. His dog, Spot, pictured below, came from the Telfer family in Northumberland, who bred 'Old Hemp' - the 'original' border collie, from whom Spot was descended.

Feels ironic that 'Cynefin', Welsh for sense of place, is a key part of the strategy to reorganise the University, yet its first act is to get rid of the very subject - Geography - that cynefin refers to, and that the VC is a geographer herself.
My great grandfather, William Ceinfryn Thomas, served on the board of governors of what was to become Cardiff University in the early C20th. He must have rolled so hard in his grave on hearing the news today his headstone has toppled over...
