A Year of Llyfr Enfys in Tweets- Blue Bird Archives

Weclome back to my blog! I haven't written here in a while, been mainly preoccupied with my dissertation and work on Llyfr Enfys. But I wanted to take some time to come back to this blog a bit and reflect on some of the events of the past year.  I'm 22 years old at the time of writing.
