I've accumulated a few horse skulls recently and decided that I need to build a Mari Lwyd. In fact I need TWO Maris so I'll be using these skulls to make a traditional Yule theme one and a black 'Border Morris' Mari

Today's Mari Lwyd workshop was a bit smaller than usual (unfortunately due to illness) but there were still some beautiful Mari creations

I picked up a 1949 copy of Folk Tales of Wales by Eirwen Jones and I think it might be signed by the author! I can't think why anyone would write the name inside and it's totally different handwriting from the books owner. Can anyone confirm?

Every time I need to replace the stickers in my pricing gun I have to look at a YouTube video showing me how. Every. Time.

Lots of new stuff going out on display in the museum and shop recently, including these amazing prosthetic hands. A cable attached between the hand and the wearers arm would allow the devices to be opened/closed by moving position

My favourite thing about duck skulls (and live ducks too) is the hidden cartoon dog. You won't be able to unsee it once you do 😂

After spending all morning fixing my email, I just took a scalding hot, grey-out inducing, hour-long bath and am now spending the rest of the afternoon rotting my brain with trash TV

Today's Mari Lwyd workshop went really well with some lovely designs and colours being used to decorate a real rabbit skull and each one has its own handler hiding beneath the sheets.
We'll be announcing new dates very soon if you'd like to join us.

It's the 5 year anniversary of Brexit and I've lost count of how many of my friends' small businesses have been forced into closure. Not all Brexit related I'm sure but personally the extra paperwork and bureaucracy means I don't post to Europe any more

Live tracking of parcel deliveries is an incredible technology. I've just watched mine drive past my house and it's currently heading towards the English border

It's restock day in the apothecary! I've also been cooking up some special tinctures and balms (mainly out of necessity due to my bad back 😣)

I picked up this semi mummified horse skull on the weekend but it'll need a good clean before it can be displayed. I might even turn it into a Mari Lwyd
