Toot

As one of my last assignments for 2024, I just finished writing my fourth article for the #Bywgraffiadur. The short version is currently in the hands of our main editor -- the long version, complete with an avalanche of images is waiting on my blog.

So if you ever wondered why a German artist created the 6-foot sword in the National #Eisteddfod in #Wales, look no further.

I give you Hubert von Herkomer: the man who married his wife's nurse, and his wife's nurse's sister.
