Idris Mathias was a postman in Cardigan. His work took him along the Teifi River. In 1945 he embarked on project that would take 17yrs, drawing a 58-foot-long map of the area. His map includes drawings of birds, fishermen โand their names, local landmarks and placenames.

Same idea with this chart, but this time ordered by median age of each constituency - youngest areas are on the left hand side
same chart type as above, but this time *median age* by constituency, ranked from youngest (Cardiff Central - median age 26.5) to oldest (Norfolk North, 54.9) - youngest areas on the left, oldest on the right, coloured by party as before

EAST: Santon Downham recorded -0.4ยฐC last night, the 11th consecutive air frost at the site (14 in total for the month so far) - with several more frosts to come.
With 10 days still to go, this April is currently sitting at ~2nd driest and ~2nd coldest on record for East Anglia.

Winter storms have stripped the beach at Borth, and exposed its ancient fossilised forest, to an extent I've never seen before. It's astonishing. (diolch @Traedmawr am y heads-up!)
