Hay and I went to Crickhowell the other day to scout for an hotel for Hay's dad and partner to stay in when on holiday in spring. We're already familiar with the place, having spent a week some years ago on a narrowboat on the Brecon & Monmouth Canal and mooring near Crickhowell.
We visited a couple of local shops and, in one, I spotted this rather nice globe made of wood. The land masses are metal and screwed on.
At first I thought it was a metaphor for Brexit Britain, as the UK was entirely absent, as you can see in the photo; however, there's rather a large large and unaccountable gap between Africa and Saudi Arabia with the Eastern Mediterranean being connected to the Indian Ocean by a stretch of water several thousand miles wide.
Could it be a map of the earth in a few million years?
