The interior of Mwnt chapel near Cardigan, Ceredigion, Wales.
If you need a moment of reflection, look at this image I captured of the tiny, ancient Mwnt chapel - perched on a clifftop in rural west Wales.
Likewise!
I'll be there on Monday...
It's that sort of place...
And, of course, it sort of incorporates the shortcut from the White Hart, under Western Way, and down to the Quay - most specifically excellent ales of The Prospect...
Looks like the offer is still on...
Makes an ideal gift!
Diolch yn fawr!
I once signalled my authorship in a bookshop by pointing to the author photo and smiling...
The owner sniffed, and then said "Must be a very old photo..."
I don't do it anymore...

A Nikon FM3a camera with a collection of travel documents.
It's nearly March...
Time to start planning the travel projects for the summer, together with an old travelling companion of mine...
Monochrome image of a polar bear swimming near the Svalbard coast
I can't match that image for antiquity, but here is a polar bear I came across in Svalbard some years ago...
That act of compassion should certainly improve your chances when the robot apocalypse dawns... :-)
The blackbirds are getting a bit rowdy over here too...
Prins Karls Foreland, Svalbard in 1979 - captured on Kodachrome 64.
The High Arctic never fails to deliver amazing light - except in winter maybe... :-)
This is Prins Karls Foreland, Svalbard many years ago...
University Broad , UEA Norwich, on a winter afternoon as the sun sets.
That would be this Broad then...
Nice image...

Greetings...
I may not have mentioned for a while that I have a book out...
"Country Diary Wales" is a compilation of 50 of my Country Diary columns for the @theguardian.com together with over 100 original colour images...
Published by the good folk at @graffegbooks.bsky.social and available now!
I thought for a moment that it was a satellite view of an active volcano...
I used to walk past it every day...
I wrote my first software on punch cards... 80 columns per card...
Pottergate, Norwich, UK at night with street lighting.
I really must go back to Norwich...
I miss the old place...
Quiet summer morning in Bodø
I like Bodø... But maybe with less snow...
A shocking degree of evaporation... :-)
I'll need to sample the calvados, just to make sure it's OK...
Metal sign on a castle wall with the legend "VISITORS ARE FORBIDDEN TO CLIMB ON THE WALLS"
Something I have to remind myself of with increasing frequency....
The Lee Miller exhibition had excellent content and was well curated - but the time I spent there wasn't nearly enough to soak it all in, so I'll need to get the book anyway!
Excellent!

Winter in Aberaeron, Ceredigion. High tide and blue sky...
I have the identical mug that I got years ago. I found it again recently in Mum's kitchen cupboard when we cleared her flat...
Oh...
