#WritingWonders 6/8: Mawwage is what bwings us togethah today...

This is a great prompt for me since book 2 hinges on Branwen's wedding to Matholwch.

Marriage in ancient Wales was mostly a simple contract between families. Dowries of cattle or other assets are given. One tradition I might use is the bride's fam kidnapping the bride on the day of the wedding to entice the groom to "rescue" his wife. I like this idea since it sets up an ironic turnaround later in the book.

⚠️⛈️ The #MetOffice have issued a Yellow Warning for Thunderstorms across #Wales, 2pm-9pm Saturday. While many places will remain dry, thunderstorms with heavy rain and hail are likely to develop in some areas. For a warning issued this far out, confidence in the forecast is currently low, but this yellow “Be Aware” warning has been issued because there is still a chance of disruption. We’ll keep you posted. #NorthWales

On the left of the photo is a flat wall. There are steps in front of the flat wall, leading up and left and out of frame.

On the flat wall, someone has stencilled the words 'ST MALO'. Some of the letters have started to fade.

On the right of the photo, pavement disappears into the far distance. The street to the left of the pavement is hidden by trees and bushes. ST MALO's Wall is the only part of a building in the shot.

On the far right of the photo, a single car is approaching. It's in the far distance, and is very indistinct.

Ticked off another short section of the #WalesCoastalPath today, Not the prettiest start at #Aberthaw #PowerStation, but photographic in it's own way. A giant Rubik Cube and Die was a surprise spot, before the usual impressive coastal views of the #Glamorgan #HeritageCoast kicked in. Finished at #LlantwitMajor #beach

#Cymru #Wales #Landscape #Seascape

A large smooth sided, mostly white, building dominated the landscape. A tall dark chimney rises from the centre of it. A row of large grey concrete blocks leads from the camera towards the building. A wide bank of wildflowers follows the line of the blocks, they are mostly white or various shades of red and purple
A large imposing, modern looking, power station squats behind a bank of pebbles. A line of electricity pylons leads away to it's left. A number of very large concrete blocks lie on the pebbles and scrubland in front of the building. One of them has been painted in multicolour squares, so that it resembles a Rubik's cube. A second has been painted to resemble a white die, five dots on the top face, 4 on the front and 1 on the right.
A rocky beach leads away from the camera, backed by a high bank of white pebbles. In the distance a wooded headland sits above a dark blue sea, reflecting an almost cloudless sky. To the right green farmland stretches to the horizon
A long rocky beach stretches out into the distance,  A calm pale blue sea reflects a cloudless sky. A grassy border leads along the cliff top rising over climbing sheer limestone and mudstone cliffs. In the distance, the sea wall of St Donat's Castle can be seen, backed by a wooded hillside, above which, Nash Point lighthouse rises

Devolve #immigration powers for #refugees to #Scotland, #Wales and #NorthernIreland

Devolve the power to accept migrants claiming to be refugees, to process claims for refugee status, and to grant to refugees with claims assessed as valid indefinite leave to remain within their respective territories, to Scotland, to Wales, and to Northern Ireland.

More details
Scotland has a long history of welcoming refugees and asylum seekers.

Scotland also needs immigration. Its economy has an unmet need for labour in many sectors.

Devolving immigration powers regarding refugees to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland could help the UK to fulfil its obligations under the 1951 Refugee Convention without putting pressure on communities in England that object to welcoming refugees.

Looking up to the dome at the top of a circular, white lighthouse. A weather vane in the shape of an arrow sits atop a riveted metal dome. Below this the Light Room is glazed with diamond shaped panes. Behind the lighthouse wispy white clouds pass through a deep blue sky
Looking at the Lighthouse complex at Nash point. The main lighthouse is to the right of the photo, To the left of this are a number of single storey buildings , one of which supports the large fog horn. Finally to the far left is a circular tower topped with a flat roof and a guard rail. All the buildings are painted bright white. To the far left a sheer Limestone and Mudstone cliff drops to a blue grey sea.The foreground is dense green vegetation and the sky is pale blue and cloudless
Looking West along the coastline. A blue grey sea laps at a rocky foreshore. In the foreground a sheer cliff with a large cave forms a small promontary, behind which, in the distance, the castellated wall and slipway of St Donat's castle peaks. Further along the land rises to form another steep cliff

"The Welsh Ballroom Community (WBC) is the first of its kind in the country – but waltzing has very little to do with it. In this context, ballroom refers to the queer movement that began in 1920s New York, when black and Latino drag queens began to organise their own pageants, rebelling against racism in the established circuits. Welcoming all races and sexualities, they became safe spaces where people could be themselves and compete for trophies and cash prizes.

There are now hundreds of long-established ballroom communities around the world, particularly in North America, but also London, Bristol and Edinburgh. Members commonly belong to ‘houses’ that function as extended families, with leading ‘mothers’ and ‘fathers’ who provide support and guidance to the house ‘children’, who may feel excluded from the rest of society due to their sexual or gender identity."

While it’s become more cost-effective to launch satellites to orbit, bringing them back to Earth intact has proven much trickier.

A mini-manufacturing satellite that can return to Earth aboard an origami-like heat shield could revolutionise the manufacture of super-materials in space.

The Space Forge system consists of a nano-factory satellite equipped with a high-temperature alloy heat shield that also slows the descent upon re-entry.

Last #WyeValleyWalk for the week, and the penultimate section of the walk as a whole. From Llangurig to Pont Rhydgaled, the route heading westwards, the river at over 1000 ft OD. The valley here is broader than it has been for a while, the river shallower, running clear over stone. Finishing at the confluence with Afon Tarrenig, the first river to join Afon Gwy.

Looking forward to the walk up to the source on Pumlumon, whenever that might be.

#AfonGwy #FingerpostFriday #Wales #Cymru

Looking across and upstream a calm river from a low riverbank. The land on each side is green and fertile in early summer. Steeper hills rise beyond. The sky is blue with plentiful grey-white cloud, mirrored in the water.
Looking down on a broad green valley, with a silver-blue river curving through it. Below to the right is a bridge carrying a single lane unmetalled track over the river. The track wends its way towards the centre of the image. Higher wooded and scrubby hills rise on the right, a mountain (Pumlumon) can be seen in shadow in the V of the valley, far left horizon.
The meeting of two rivers. Afon Tarrenig flows underneath the viewer into the blue waters of Afon Gwy. Trees partially overhang on the right, steep hills rise on the left beyond. The blue sky is mirrored in the waters at the confluence.

Cé chomh hálainn is atá an Bhreatain Bheag? / How beautiful is Wales?

#Language shouldn't frighten you. It is a beautiful expression of who you are and where you came from. It speaks to your past! The Video in this article is moving. It speaks to your soul.

Anyone familiar with Space Colony Studios, in Cardiff, game dev? Friend is trying to contact them and they've got some SM presence but nothing he can use to get in touch.

My first ever #Mosstodon! Check out this beautiful Oak covered in moss in #Wales. It's called the 'Castle Oak' est. 800-850 years old and within some of western Britain's awesome temperate rain forest.

A mighty oak erupting into the blue Spring sky. A fissure in the trunk is blanketed with a waterfall of vibrant green moss.

I need your help.

We've have a #solar PV and battery install done at our home.

Unfortunately, whenever the Solis inverter is connected to the house electricity supply, I can't use my #guitar amps (nor my digital modellers).

The problem? A lot of electrical noise. So loud it defeats my noise gates, and clearly audible even when playing.

Today, my solar installer has said 'not my problem, guv'.

I need to find someone in the #UK (preferably #Wales) who can hope me solve this.

Plz boost!

Lots of planning today for some social media courses coming up. The main theme is building relationships and connections, not just posting and waiting for that sale.

What do you think? More to add to the list, what are the big no-no's for you that you see brands doing online?
