Introduction 1 HELLO WORLD
In Glamorgan in #Wales there is a mountain which is cool and dim and damp and old. It has wizened old walls covered in moss, and tall, gnarled trees bristling with ivy. There are footpaths crisscrossing and circling about that mountain so that we can check on it; #mountains are not entirely trustworthy you see. I am one of the people living on that mountain and, of course, I walk across it as often as I can on my lunch breaks! ⛰️
#Introduction 2. Follow me for...
I work as an Associate Lecturer. When not teaching or walking, I research the #history of #wildlife and #wildflowers and I'll post about that here. I've just finished writing my 'Atlas of Early Modern Wildlife', out in June and this month I have been working on a research project on pine trees and yew trees in #MedievalWales, and a translation of an #earlymodern Scottish natural history text out of #Latin. 🌲📚

@LeafyHistory I suggest adding the hashtags #NaturePhotography and/or #WildlifePhotography to your posts with the nature pics.
@mwt Oh thank you I will! (am assuming you mean future posts not clicking 'delete and redraft' on this one?)💚
Introduction 3. I'll follow you for...
I want to share #nature pics - especially of wild plants and amphibians and reptiles. I'd like to read toots on other kinds of #history too (queer history, Black history, Mughal India). I'm hoping to meet more people who are in the UK's University and College Union (#UCU). But I’d also love to see toots which have a trace of the mystery and queerness of faerie about them!🧚💜
