In Greek mythology there was a monster called "Hydra". This monstrous/terrible beast was a reptile, like a water snake with many heads. It was venomous, and it could grow two new heads for each one cut off. It was a terrible thing, but it was killed by a Greek hero. In the eighteenth century, a Swedish botanist called a little freshwater animal with many tentacles "Hydra". It can regenerate like the Greek monster. One needs to use a microscope to see it very well. Sometimes there are large groups of marine animals like that all together in a colony. Then you can see them without a microscope. Many of them were blown by the wind onto Portheras Cove beach. Fortunately, these "by the wind sailors" are not venomous.

Julia McKenzie made a lot of beautiful little birds out of maps - folded pages like Japanese origami. But what kind of bird are they? And why are they significant? They are swallows - considered good luck by sailors, because of showing that land is near. (A swallow is never seen in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.) She painted swallows, too, with maps on their bellies, forked tails and red throats. I love this exhibition.

Bes avel mab an vodreb o ev cosin Calvin ewedh?  Families are fascinating. My ancestor had two wives. They were sisters. The first wife, Mehitabel died, when their son Calvin was only ten years old. T hen Stephen married Mary, Mehitabel's younger sister.  So, Mary was Calvin's aunt and his stepmother. Stephen and Mary had a son, Henry. That son was Calvin's half-brother. But as the aunt's son was he also Calvin's cousin?
