I was born to a 20min neighbourhood. My 🏴market town had a library, hospital, surgery, police & fire station, schools, banks. Green groceries, butchers - abattoir, sweet shop, cafes, pubs, cinema, theatre, toy shop, iron mongers, milk man, deposit return, all locally owned businesses. Then out of town retail came. End

#IntreruptedLandscapes - when ever I look at our semi natural world, I can’t help but see how much we have altered, sealed or built within. But still; a scared beauty still drawing eyes.

2/2 #SilentSunday
We’ve silenced nature, remove community economies, allowed outside corporates to force our land, for private wealth. Rivers no longer ripples with flurries, leaps & splashes.
A mix mosaic of agricultural, organic habitat has all but gone.
Reverse, recreate the community economy, a food sovereignty system, that manages flood & drought for all.
#Wales #Cymru, everyone own your natural resources, & create far greater abundance, a #WellbeingEconomy for all. #photography

Happy 1st Gotcha Day to Long Cat!
A year since he joined the crew from the amazing Cats Protection Bridgend.
He get carried away tag chasing the others but hasn't destroyed the house - yet. Well, just bits of it, when he screeches to a halt with an oops face🤣
He's an indoor cat but loves hanging out with us in his Mynwood Spiderman jacket, chosen as he lives in 3 dimensions, one second on the floor and, the next, appears at your side no obvious jump in between.

I'm thinking of making use of my remote working and spending a month in Wales around the How the Lights Gets In festival next May/ June, and so I don't suppose anyone knows of anyone wanting a house sitter/ has a spare room in Hay-on-Wye next May/ June? (I'm car-less and so needs to be within cycle/ public transport distance on Hay-on-Wye) #Wales #Cymru #HayOnWye #HouseSitting

Next was a fascinating talk by Leigh Shaw-Taylor on the occupational structure of #England and #Wales from 1379-1911 at the Toulouse School of Economics. The data brought to bear here is impressive, with some incredible findings like female labor participation rates didn't return to 1750 levels until 1945! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdsX9r4D0FA (10/11) #economics #history

Been taking advantage of the great weather to visit some of my favourite local spots. Yesterday was a walk down #CwmNash and along the beach to #NashPoint, before returning via the cliff top. Today was a #wander through #Kenfig #NatureReserve to #SkerBeach and back around #KenfigPool
