The Mari seems to be undertaking an intensive breeding programme in Wales too. (No wonder she needs a holiday!)

Sleeping Giant Foundation and Menter Brycheiniog in the Brecons have started and are stock piling skulls for future use. Apparently some Health and Safety Regs mean it's going to be next to impossible to get skulls in the future. They've also had one made of fibre glass with lights and buzzers - very techno! Then there's the one that's been going a couple of years in Dinas Mawddwy, and the Cardiff one (if I'm allowed to mention that one in the same breath as Llantrisant?) I hear that the 2 Rivers Festival run an event where the Welsh Mari meets the English Wassail on the bridge that spans the border.    We're running Mari workshops in 4 Carmarthenshire schools this month. And I imagine there are a few that I don't know about.

Good to see an old tradition re-claiming its turf!
