Do any of you remember my post with photos of somewhat heavy Welsh ponies a few weeks ago? Well, it turns out my rather uncharitable judgement regarding their portliness was misplaced
26 May 1561: Thomas Davies consecrated Bishop of St Asaph #Wales#Cymru by Matthew Parker at #Croydon#otd (MSearle)
He ordered the Gospel be read in #Welsh#Cymraeg & was assiduous in attending #parliament at Westminster.
22 May 1538: Bl. John Forest #Franciscan having refused to recant his denial of the Royal Supremacy is burnt #otd on a pyre part fuelled by the statue from Llanderfel St. Derfel in North #Wales#Cymru. (Salmon)
He’s unusual in having being done for heresy rather than treason.
An interesting Dutch ?17th century image of John Forest the Franciscan who was burnt #otd 22 May 1538 on a pyre that was part fuelled by the statue from Llanderfel [St. Derfel] in North #Wales#Cymru.
Sore feet after a 12-mile walk this afternoon to a location known as World's End. These three pictures were of the destination, but the stars of the show were cows. Hairy cows. You'd better like cows for the pictures I have to follow 😊
Back from a looooong 13-mile+ walk that included a 1100ft increase in elevation. A few pics to share. First a panoramic view of a horseshoe shaped valley that probably involved something like a 150⁰ pan
A couple of pretty spots passed on the way to the viewpoint. Can anyone save me the trouble of identifying these purple flowers? I saw them safe from human hand, tucked into the rocky opposite side of the canal, in a shaded spot #Cymru#Wales#photography
Daily #Wales continues the Clough Williams-Ellis theme from yesterday’s Plas Brondanw with his best-known project: Portmeirion. Seen from Ynys, across the estuary.
