This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.

Musk mallow leaves and flowers can also be fashioned into a poultice for bruises; inflammations and insect bites. Oral preparations were used for respiratory diseases or inflammation of digestive and urinary systems.
