Today's the feast of St Monica, the 4th Century North African mother of the wayward St Augustine. Here she is, deep in conversation with St George on the reredos at East Barsham, Norfolk. Often presented as a model of patience and piety, she is the patron saint of difficult marriages and those with disappointing children.

This photograph was taken 90 years ago, in the summer of 1933. It shows the newly constructed Western Avenue in #Cardiff, looking east towards the Taff bridge. The image comes from the records of the Planning Department of Cardiff City Council.

Look at this incredible photo of Barry Docks featuring Merchant Ships with Dazzle camouflage! 🚢
Dazzle camouflage used eye-catching patterns with bold colours to create intricate geometric shapes. Unlike traditional camouflage, it wasn't about hiding; it aimed to confuse the enemy by making it challenging to gauge range, speed, and direction. Its goal? Mislead the enemy and put them at a disadvantage during attacks. 💥
