I visited the London Museum Docklands on the weekend. It's eye-opening from a historic point of view but also interesting to see how tools can be similar but serve distinct purposes.

Isnโ€™t it wonderful to think that you could bring someone from 2000 years ago to visit their home today - and while so much has changed, to topography - and the very reason for its location - are still the same!

My favourite edition of The Mabinogion is illustrated by Alan Lee. I particularly love this image of Gwydion coaxing Lleu Llaw Gyffes from the treetop: the wounded hero, transformed into a dying eagle after being struck down, being saved by the magic of Gwydion's song.

I recently went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and the deep sea exhibit was so mesmerizing. I'm curious as to why some had long tentacles vs short!
