"Filmed in Welsh with English subtitles, it epitomises how and why reviving seed diversity is a transformational act, helping to re-value and pass on the language, skills and culture that have enabled farmers and rural communities to thrive for generations in Wales, and around our living planet."

It's also really lovely just to hear the Pembrokeshire accent – "oeddwn" becoming "wen" and "fel" becoming "wel" 🙂
Mor hyfryd yw e.

Also – Welsh speakers – I'm interested to know what is said that's glossed in the subtitles as "it's a hassle". My ears can't make it out.

(I'm hashtagging "caturday" because of Twm, the farmer's cat, enjoying a lap ☺️)

"Early poems about #Merlin portray him as #environmentalist, say scholars

Re-examination of #Welsh poems dating back to 10th century show #Myrddin as prophet concerned by human interactions with #Nature

"He is probably most often thought of today as a wizard, a shape-shifter or a mentor to the young King Arthur.

"But a detailed re-examination of Myrddin – Merlin – by Welsh scholars suggests he can also be considered an early British environmentalist deeply worried about human interaction with the natural world.

"Over the past three years academics from three Welsh universities have edited and translated more than 100 poems, all in Cymraeg (Welsh), about Merlin dating back as far as the 10th century.

"David Callander, who is based at Cardiff University’s school of Welsh, said some of the conclusions of the Myrddin Poetry Project challenged the modern view of the figure."
