29/09/2026 – I think I may have discovered a fossilised antecedent of the magpie. Notoriety beckons #aberystwyth #ceredigion #canolbarthcymru #cymru #wales

28/09/2026 – I wouldn’t bother, you’d hate it here (plus, we currently seem to have a nasty infestation of spectral, kleptomaniac gnomes) #aberystwyth #ceredigion #canolbarthcymru #cymru #wales

23/09/2026 – Summat’s afoot… though seals can’t be said strictly to set foot anywhere. Flippers they may, but feet they cannot. But what shall we do until Papa and the servants arrive with the luncheon? [I digress] #aberystwyth #ceredigion #canolbarthcymru #cymru #wales

21/09/2026 – A vehicle for every mood. I think I’ll have to write a Bambi/Joker crossover, set in Devon #aberystwyth #ceredigion #canolbarthcymru #cymru #wales

20/09/2026 1. Holding on to the dream (just) 2. The universal sign of a good pub 3. I don’t think I’ll ever come to like Staffordshire dogs. The faux-Delft cat is a bit underwhelming too 4. Spectator sport #aberystwyth #ceredigion #canolbarthcymru #cymru #wales

11/09/2026 – It’s wise to interpret some things figuratively #aberystwyth #ceredigion #canolbarthcymru #cymru #wales

10/09/2026 – It struck me yesterday that it’s probably close to a decade since I’ve done any portraits.* I think I’m probably back to the point where I can attempt that now. * Portraits of people, that is. Giraffe-legged rainbows are a given.

02/09/2026 – I’m a bit snowed under with computer work at the moment so there’s a bit of a ‘retrospective’ approach going on 📷 – Chester, 03/01/2026 #chester #chestercitywalls

30/08/2026 – It’s been wet today, and when it’s not been wet, I’ve been busy. Back to some summer snaps. I love the lad in the background of this – I didn’t notice him for about a fortnight 📷 – 08/08 #aberystwyth #ceredigion #canolbarthcymru #cymru #wales

22/08/2026 (2) – Still trying to get my head around an ultra-wide prime lens. Where better than a beer festival? #aberystwyth #ceredigion #canolbarthcymru #cymru #aberbeerfest

Matt Davies @fwyalchen.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

20/08/2026 (📷 – 19/08/2026) I was able to sneak off to a couple of new (to me) God boxes. 1. Capel Annibynnol, Neuadd-lwyd 2. St Non, Llanerchaeron Probably remodelled in 1797–8 by John Nash (who else would plonk a dome on a Welsh country church to match the stately new build next door?)

Matt Davies @fwyalchen.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to catch up with the LlGC volunteers’ proto-annual away day at Llanerchaeron today. (1) – The lake (2) – A cheeky John Nash interior (w/ bonus holidaying mice) (3) – Detail (4) – Vegetably stuff (5) – Eilir receiving the keys to his new pied-à-terre
