Guest post by artist Rebecca Wyn Kelly:

While Jake was visiting the Jewsons yard with Ysgol Aberaeron, we came across this toad tucked beneath a log, a quiet little resident already making use of the space.

I’m really hoping he might take shelter in one of the Lletau Llyffant I’ve created; these are small shelters made with the toads in mind.

A little about Llyffantod

In old Welsh folk belief, toads were linked to wise women and hidden knowledge, and were said to carry carreg y llyffant in their heads, a magical stone with protective powers. Living between water and land, tucked beneath logs and stones, they’re natural threshold keepers, creatures of the in-between, brushing right up against the Otherworld of Annwn.
