A lot of my embroidery art is inspired by living in the Teifi Valley with the Cambrian mountains as a backdrop. #embroidery #art

Embroidery no5, it’s another medieval tile design!

The fourth embroidery of 2025 and the first for February, another medieval tile. Embroidery is helping me stay calm during a very stressful time.

Here is the petition to Senedd (raised in addition to the earlier Change.org one) to raise concern at the #UWTSD proposal to remove undergraduate teaching from Lampeter in 2025. A Welsh version is available. Note the lower thresholds for review.

My one and only contribution to #MosaicMonday, from The Brooks excavation at Winchester 1988. My photo on site. I then swapped site work for a cosy archaeobotany lab!
