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.

Lime wood is a popular choice in furniture manufacture as it's easy to work with, resists warping and takes a good polish. It's also used to make piano keys and sounding boards, as well as bodies of guitars and bases. Lime wood has proved popular with carving aristocracy like Grinling Gibbons. As this material is lightweight but strong, it's often been used to make window blinds and shutters.
