We just published two lovely, hand-drawn Christmas cards by the late Karel Lek on #PeoplesCollectionWales

Did Karel Lek ever draw something for you or do you own one of his drawings, or do you have personal memories you would like to share with us? Please get in touch either through DM or email me: [email protected]

We would record your information as part of our Diversity Project for the #Bywgraffiadur

Crawling through #PeoplesCollectionWales on #Bywgraffiadur business when I find a picture of Darwin Hinds, the first black mayor of Barry, with then Prince Charles -- who is either going through his hippie phase or coss-playing as a time-travelling Prince Harry.

Apropos of nothing (I'm worming my way through #PeoplesCollectionWales on #Bywgraffiadur business), let's spare a thought for this rectangular boy, aka "The White Ox of Nannau" -- who was eaten in celebration of young master Williams's coming of age.
