Here's a blazer patch from the club my dad played for - Aberavon RFC ('the Wizards') made in the 90s, now in the Peoples Collection Wales ❤️‍🔥👇 Rugby Union is the national sport of Wales. The history, the passion, the experience, beyond the foreign notion of 'class' imposed on us in public life, it is our proxy for war, and the place where we let our national honour burns brightest. Our best players have mythic status, spoken about more than our politicians, other celebs, and even our national heroes. They are referred to simply by their given name, or a nickname, even by initials! Everyone knows who I'm talking about if I say 'JPR', for instance 👀 They embody what it is to be Welsh. May we return swiftly to remembering this 🙏

Late September is the start of ‘Amser Gwylad’ or ‘Vigil Time’, an old Welsh farming tradition. 🍂 Vigil Time is when the days get too short to finish all your work by sunset and you have to light a candle to complete your chores in the dark... 🕯️ People would meet at each other’s houses for Noson Weu (Knitting Nights), gathering around the fireplace to tell stories and sing while knitting, sewing, whittling or any other indoor jobs that needed doing. This helped save on candles and firewood and of course made the long, dark nights more cheerful. 📷 Mrs Edwards knitting, 1875 Courtesy of @NLWales via @pplscollection
