Two people sitting at a wooden table, focused on coloring in dragon-themed drawings with markers.

What a weekend! The #WalesReach launch at #WMC was a huge success!
From a giant papier-mâché dragon to immersive soundscapes and hand-printed art, we celebrated Welsh heritage in style. 🏴
Next stop: St Fagans in Oct 2026!

Painted on Bardsey Island, where Chamberlain settled in 1947, this domestic scene portrays one of her island neighbors holding the artist’s own cat for an image of companionship and rural self-reliance after the upheavals of World War II. The work won the Gold Medal for Fine Art at the National Eisteddfod in 1951, the first time the prize was awarded; she won again in 1953 with The Cristin Children. A young woman sits in three-quarter view, shoulders turned left, cradling a Siamese cat whose dark mask and ears contrast with its pale, fine coat. Her head tilts slightly, eyes and the cat’s gaze aligned toward something beyond the frame to our right, lending the moment a poised stillness. Daylight washes the room while an open window behind them reveals rolling hills and clear sky. Her long dark hair is neatly pulled back. The woman's plain, close-fitting top reads as everyday wear rather than costume. Contours are firm but gentle, color kept naturalistic, so touch and attention become the picture’s quiet drama. Trained at the Royal Academy Schools and co-founder of the Caseg Press, Chamberlain was also a writer. Her Bardsey years shaped both her painting and later prose (like Tide-Race). Here, her skill turns a modest island interior into a portrait of community, place, and care.

Tiberius Flavius Postumius Varus is thanked for restoring the Temple of Diana at Caerleon. A pity nobody thought to mention where the temple might be.

Soft green moss covering a grey stone. Natural sunlight.
I love natural textures, especially moss and lichen. I took a lovely walk this morning in St Fagans (Sant Ffagan 🏴)

Fantastic start to the #WalesREACH project! This NL Heritage funded project is exploring Welsh heritage with diverse communities. First, we learned about Cardiff's history from Custom House to the canals, creating canal boat art along the way. #OUWales #TNLHF #AmgueddfaCymru #FirstChoiceHousing
