Rebecca wasn’t just angry—she was right. In 1840s Wales, tollgates bled poor farmers dry.
So “Rebecca and her daughters” rose up. They wore dresses. They smashed gates. They demanded justice and they won reforms.
A riot? Yes.
A turning point? Absolutely.

Went to Ty Canol wood pasture in Pembrokeshire. I think there are cattle, sheep and horses on different parts of land about the place.

Apparently site of very important lichen in the UK? There was a lot of Bracken, so possibly not managed so much for vascular plants.

Lovely space, very varied. And very #WoodMeadow.

I want to create #common, #community #WoodMeadows in #WestWales, as response to #NatureEmwrgency. My fundraiser for #ecology conference in #Estonia:

Three Hagges #Woodmeadow is an inspirational project for #WoodMeadows, which have the among the highest biodiversity of vascular plants *in the world* yet are also maanged productively.

I’m going to the 14th European Conference on Ecological Restoration to find out more, and to create a #Common #WoodMeadow in #WestWales

I have a fundraiser to help with the expenses, any donation gratefully received 🙏

I've registered for the SERE #Ecological conference in #Estonia!

We need a new #economics model and a reconnecting of our place within #nature

A #WoodMeadow is mixed-use, low-impact & incredibly biodiverse productive land, like a #ForestGarden at scale.

I want to create one in #WestWales, so I’m going to the conference to learn more.

Thank you to all my supporters, you are amazing 🙏

@Ivor yes and the light is really pink. These are unfiltered - the first to the north east and the second to the west #WestWales

"How far could you travel in seven hours?

A flight from the UK could get you all the way to Dubai, and by using the Tube you could go east to west across London seven times.

But for people living in west Wales, travelling between the region's two biggest towns - Carmarthen and Aberystwyth - takes the same amount of time."

I don’t think #StormAgnes really arrived here. It’s wet and a bit windy but nothing unusual #WestWales

Sheep grazing quietly in sheltered corners of the fields, loose farmyard stuff tied down. Woodstove lit. Think we’re ready #StormAgnes #WestWales

Intense summer/sheet lightning at around 1am this morning - pulses of light over the sky to the west but no sound. Went on for at least half an hour. Anyone else see it? #WestWales #Cymru

Annual pilgrimage to St David’s / Tyddewi. Despite the masses of people making it fairly chaotic, the visit to cathedral and the bishops palace is definitely well worth the trip. #Wales #Cymru #WestWales #WelshHistory #WelshCulture #Pembrokeshire #Sunset #Wednesday

MilfordHaven to Newgale Slow Ways adventure today. Beautiful views and weather over the area. Highlight was joining the Wales Coast Path a few miles from Newgale. My highlights include a paraglider and panaramic views across St Brides Bay. #MilfordHaven #WestWales #Newgale #Wales #Cymru #Paraglider #CoastPath #Cerdded #SlowWays #StBridesBay

Where the quiet things are

#AfonCeri #WestWales

Another Slow Ways adventure after a sudden change of plans. Linking up the surveyed routes by doing the short route to Pembroke to Pembroke Dock. That links up Tenby through to Milford Haven. Hopefully others can get involved to verify routes. #Pembrokeshire #HolidayWalk #Pembroke #PembrokeDock #MilfordHaven #Tenby #SlowWays #Wales #Cerdded #Cymru #DynbachyPysgod #Aberdaugleddau #Penfro #WestWales

Thankful for the rain after 7 weeks without

Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulnaris) about to come into flower. Normally doesn't flower until July, photo taken 1st June. We've had 4 weeks of no rain and full sun, in #WestWales

So darned green

A shout out to David Hunter, gifted woodworker based in #Pembrokeshire, he built this glorious children's den for a client's garden in #NewcastleEmlyn

If yo're in #WestWales and like natural wood, do take a look at his work 😀

Moss rising from a greenest grass.

The grass is beautiful, has long wavering strings of black seeds.

A very orange Welsh Poppy. Maybe a cross?

Loads of Welsh Poppies out this year.
