The chapel in the village where I grew up has been up for sale since the end of May. I immediately knew I had to do something... but I didn't do anything...
...until a few days before final offers had to submitted. Too little, too late...
...or so I thought:

I was interviewed on Radio 4's Today programme this morning. Listen from 1:52:20.

Hi Friends- humble request for help. My artwork Landscape with Red Kites is for sale and I’d love to sell it urgently to fund hospital care for my cat Flash who is critically ill.
Flash is insured with PetPlan but her vet and hospital fees are around £3500 now and the insurance limit is £4000. She’s been in hospital for 2 nights and probably needs to stay in til Monday. I also need to fund 20% of the cost myself and will have ongoing costs to manage her condition.
Flash is very ill with ketoacidosis as we discovered too late that she is diabetic. She really, really wants to live and is fighting like the bravest solider. She is showing signs of improvement as she is now eating and standing up from time to time. But still very weak and needs round the clock monitoring of her glucose levels, potassium and electrolyte levels. She is getting the best possible care at veterinary hospital.
My artwork Landscape with Red Kites is an embroidered love letter to the Dyfi Valley, produced as a commission for the National Librady of Wales initiative Celf ar Y Cyd. It measures 10 inches diameter, and is made with around 30,000 stitches. It took 60 hours to make over 3 weeks. It’s the perfect piece for any proud Welsh interior or indeed for anyone who loves Wales, wherever they are based.
As an artist I have decades of experience in exhibiting nationally and internationally, including in London’s Yinka Shonibare space. My work has won awards and I have produced work funded by the Arts Council of Wales. You can feel reassured that your purchase represents a strong investment as well as simply being a beautiful creation to bring joy to your home or workplace.
Landscape with Red Kites is £2000, which includes international shipping. Please message me to purchase.
Learn more about me, my work and background at https://pennytristram.co.uk or you can message me on instagram (https://www.instagram.com/pennytristram) to verify I'm a real person.

In more ask Fedi (or in this case just Toot Wales) questions; how bad is Google translate for Welsh?
I am horribly aware that @RepairCafe_Barry only post in English and that is 100% because I don't speak Welsh and we can't afford a translator for our posts.
I'm wary of posting possibly (probably) inaccurate Welsh but wondering what people think?

Three countries that consider #Rugby their national sport also have dedicated Mastodon services, supporting those three nations' local culture and communities:
#Madagascar#Madagasikara
#NewZealand#Aotearoa
#Wales#Cymru
Correlation is not causation, but we might be on to something here. Do the shared values of teamwork and community extend from the pitch to the Fediverse?
