This little triangle of grass with a few trees on it, becomes an island whenever there's a heavy rainfall; the stream floods the asphalt paths around it, and it becomes impassible without waterproof boots. Annoying when you have on running shoes. Ah well. It's my only real complaint about the layout of Mill Pond Park; they should find a way to prevent this part of it from flooding.

I had a different upbringing to my Dad. I was brought up on a street, not a farm. Farming was something Dad did during the evenings and on weekends and my brother, sister and I would help out from time to time. Farming didn't mean much to me and wasn't something that I took much interest in, nor did it prey heavily... but it always niggled in the back of my mind.
I moved to Cardiff to study for some time and on returning home, I was constantly noticing changes. At that time, there was a strong sense of depression within the industry. I knew the area would change gradually, but this was happening at such a rate that the realisation suddenly hit me that things could be very different the next time I'd come home.
One place in particular became a site to reflect on what was happening - Dad's temporary shed. He's a tenant farmer and so can't construct permanent buildings on the land he rents. Even though this is a temporary structure, this place has witnessed his work... So I took to documenting - in as much detail as possible - what was happening under its plastic hood.
Here is where we do the lambing in the spring, keep the hay and straw bales in the summer and autumn... and it proves a good shelter for the sheep in winter. The shed's also full of tools and objects, lined up like artifacts in a museum or sculptures in a gallery - objects that have witnessed better times. I often think what fate lies in store for this place.
My Dad continued in the tradition, following what my family has always done. I know I'll never be a farmer and even though I now work and live in the city, I'll always carry around that same strong sense of belonging to the land.
Near the Village of Chalna
Dacope, Bangladesh
December, 2009
In 2009, many of the villages around Dacope, Bangladesh were adversely affected by the impact of Cyclone Aila. Devastated by tremendous flooding, many village families lost their lives....their homes, their loved ones, and their livelihoods (farming rice in the paddies) to this storm. Over six months after the storm, the people of the village continue to live in inadequate temporary shelter on embankments, as well as lack of drinking water, sanitation, and adequate food for their families. Additionally, the flood waters have transformed into permanent rivers in areas that would have once been their rice patties into vast rivers of water that have engulfed entire villages.
Please enjoy these photographs, but also contemplate what your life would be like if you lived in these conditions. The realities captured in these images reflects the impact of climate change upon some of the most remote and vulnerable village populations of our planet.

This temporary stop closure notice at Edgecombe Crescent bus stop explaining that the route 10 that serves this stop will be ‘temporarily’ suspended due to the COVID pandemic. However, the route 10 never returned, with the section through Elson being taken over by the re-introduced route 11 and then the section along Nobes Avenue being taken over by the 9A, leaving this section unserved. I have some old timetable books that show the 10’s route and timetable.
Lieutenant Commander George Nicholson Bradford VC (23 April 1887 – 23 April 1918) was an officer in the Royal Navy and an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. His brother, Roland Bradford, was also awarded the Victoria Cross, making them the only brothers to be awarded the medal during the First World War.
Bradford was 30 years old and a lieutenant commander in the Royal Navy during the First World War when he was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions on 22/23 April 1918 at Zeebrugge, Belgium, when in command of the naval storming parties embarked in HMS Iris II.[4] He died on 23 April 1918, his 31st birthday, committing the act for which he was awarded the cross. The citation for his Victoria Cross read:
For most conspicuous gallantry at Zeebrugge on the night of the 22nd–23rd April, 1918. This Officer was in command of the Naval Storming Parties embarked in Iris II. When Iris II proceeded alongside the Mole great difficulty was experienced in placing the parapet anchors owing to the motion of the ship. An attempt was made to land by the scaling ladders before the ship was secured. Lieutenant Claude E. K. Hawkings (late Erin) managed to get one ladder in position and actually reached the parapet, the ladder being crushed to pieces just as he stepped off it. This very gallant young officer was last seen defending himself with his revolver. He was killed on the parapet. Though securing the ship was not part of his duties, Lieut.-Commander Bradford climbed up the derrick, which carried a large parapet anchor and was rigged out over the port side; during this climb the ship was surging up and down and the derrick crashing on the Mole. Waiting his opportunity he jumped with the parapet anchor on to the Mole and placed it in position. Immediately after hooking on the parapet anchor Lieut.-Commander Bradford was riddled with bullets from machine guns and fell into the sea between the Mole and the ship. Attempts to recover his body failed. Lieut.-Commander Bradford's action was one of absolute self-sacrifice; without a moment's hesitation he went to certain death, recognising that in such action lay the only possible chance of securing Iris II and enabling her storming parties to land.
Brigadier-General Roland Boys Bradford, VC, MC (23 February 1892 – 30 November 1917) was a British Army officer and an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. His elder brother, Lieutenant Commander George Bradford, was also awarded the Victoria Cross, making them the only pair of brothers to be awarded the medal during the First World War.
He was a lieutenant by the outbreak of the First World War in 1914.[citation needed] He was awarded the Military Cross in February 1915.[10][11]
On 1 October 1916, Bradford, now a temporary lieutenant colonel commanding the 9th Battalion, Durham Light Infantry, was awarded the Victoria Cross (VC) for his actions at Eaucourt L'Abbaye, France. His citation for the award was published in the London Gazette on 25 November, reading:
For most conspicuous bravery and good leadership in attack, whereby he saved the situation on the right flank of his Brigade and of the Division. Lieutenant-Colonel Bradford's Battalion was in support. A leading Battalion having suffered very severe casualties, and the Commander wounded, its flank became dangerously exposed at close quarters to the enemy. Raked by machine-gun fire, the situation of the Battalion was critical. At the request of the wounded Commander, Lieutenant-Colonel Bradford asked permission to command the exposed Battalion in addition to his own. Permission granted, he at once proceeded to the foremost lines. By his fearless energy under fire of all description, and his skilful leadership of the two Battalions, regardless of all danger, he succeeded in rallying the attack, captured and defended the objective, and so secured the flank.
On 13 November 1917, at the age of 25, he was promoted to the rank of brigadier general; he was the youngest general officer in the British Army of modern times (and the youngest promoted professionally, earlier young generals were simply due to position). He was killed "by a stray German shell" at Cambrai, France, seventeen days later, on 30 November 1917
there are times in every person's life when we step out of our shoes, out of character, and run off somewhere that not everybody can see or understand. but we will come back, one day.
