Today marks 71 years since the death of Welsh poet #DylanThomas in New York at the tragically young age of 39. We're thoroughly enjoying being part of the project with @cofgar_wales to reimagine interpretation at his final home @DTBoathouse, Laugharne, Carmarthenshire.

Jennifer and Ellie had a great consultation session with young people in Tywyn yesterday for the @TalyllynRailway @HeritageFundCYM project. Naturally, it would have been rude not to spend some time enjoying watching the locos carrying visitors up and down the line on a sunny day.

This is St Anthony's Church just across an inlet from St Mawes, Cornwall. A beautiful building and cared for by @TheCCT. A peaceful place to pause (and possibly pray to St Anthony to help you find lost items, if so inclined). x.com/HeadlandDesign/status/…

We've had a great day at the official opening of @AngleseyColumn. The sun shone and the Hussars were looking wonderful. Brilliant to work on this amazing @HeritageFundCYM project from R1 application all the way through to installation and opening.

A brilliant day @LlangollenRail on Saturday hearing from visitors about their past and present experiences of the site and chatting with staff and volunteers about the exciting future of the railway. Such a beautiful setting too and a great way to spend a sunny late spring day.
