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.
@MadeyeTheCarnaptious You think that's bad? Take a look at this absolute horseshit. They're defunding museums, music schools and public transport, but have the funds for a tech vanity project on the least successful platform in recorded history 🙄 🤬
OMG! Did someone mention #auroraborealis ? Photos taken just this evening amid the largest geomagnetic storm for two decades. Long exposure, but all visible to the naked eye also, including the colours
With thanks to @timberwraith for letting me know it was happening. Two hours ago I was heading for bed. Once in a lifetime opportunity. So glad I didn't miss it. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Delicious lunch at Y Talbot in Tregaron, amazing panna cotta. Now another 1 hour drive to the reservoirs. On the way here I finished listening to Prima Facie by Suzie Miller - very tense courtroom scenes. Highly recommend but massive TW for SA and gaslighting of victims #AmReading#Wales#cymru
Tintern de Voto Cistercian Abbey #Wexford suppressed #otd 6 May 1635 about 400 years after its foundation by William Marshal who named it after Tintern in #Wales#Cymru in thanks for safety in a storm.
3 May: feast of Glywys a #Welsh saint who is patron of St Gluvias on #Cornwall#Kernow (Row17) In some later lives he is described as a martyr, others make him a nephew of St Petroc #Cymru
