Mae hi'n cymylog eto. #castanwyddeneccles

It's cloudy again. #eccleschestnut
A horse chestnut tree against a light grey sky. Beside it is a green area bordered by a low stone wall, with other trees and in the background is a large Victorian house. The road in front is cobbled, with autumn leaves gathered in the gutters. It is raining and there are several wheelie bins out on the street and puddles in the road. The tree is bare, as is small laburnum tree is in front of the chestnut, and the part of overhanging tree in the foreground. Telephone wires cut across the sky from a telegraph pole next to the tree.

Someone very dear to my heart, now passed, once introduced me to the Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group (HORG), and ever since he died I am always given a moment's brightness to remember him whenever I open a loaf of bread.

Occlupanids are generally found as parasitoids on bagged pastries in […]

I'd love some advice from #pottery folk. I've switched from a brush-on glaze to dipped. It's working well, except for two problems:

#1: The glaze doesn't seem to stick to the rim of the cups very well.

#2: The glaze cracks as it cools, rendering the cups […]

There is a thing called Hook and Ring Toss, also known as Tiki Toss or Bimini Ring Toss.

I know this because once when my son was 11 or 12 or so, we were walking down a beach on our summer hols and he said "Dad, play this!" and he showed me a ring on a string […]

A dense line of tall, slender trees dominates the canal bank through the forest. While many of the branches are bare, pockets of vibrant autumn colour remain. Golden-yellow and rust-orange leaves cling to some trees in patches. The dark water acts as a mirror, reflecting the vertical lines of the tree trunks and the intricate web of branches.
