Getting my landscape on - Eryri

I did enjoy! It's very different to the other prose in the issue (in the best way!) It feels very 'Welsh' almost, if that makes any sense. Obviously the reference to the name of place but something about the general feel of the piece - it's hard to articulate!

Oh thank you - that means a lot! I have enjoyed every single issue, but the short fiction so far has especially moved me this issue - going to sit down with a brew tomorrow morning before work and spend some time with yours πŸ‘Œ

Just sent draft 8 of my debut novel, 50 Reasons to Live to my publisher - Barnard Press - next step: edits and cover design πŸ‘ I am feeling a strange mixture of excitement and anxiety after 15 years or so of trying to write this book!

An old B side I took in Llandudno, probably 2021 when I was still finding me feet (I'm still finding me fight but you know what I mean)

Another memorable afternoon at @orielcolwyn.bsky.social

An exhibition opening and talk by Dafydd Jones, focussing on his New York photography in and around the 1990’s.

(Also with a shout out to @unofphoto.bsky.social for some of Dafydd’s wider commissioned work).

I have travelled up and down this high street hundreds of times in search of a feeling, or a point of view. Never ceases to amaze me how different light, colours, textures can combine to create different images of the same place. Bangor, North Wales.
