I imagine that at some on Friday 8th May we will learn what the composition of the new Senedd will be. I imagine that it will be different to what has gone before. It will tell a story of a variegated Wales.
It is a story with many different threads. Sometimes it is dominated by its neighbour. Sometimes it is lost in nostalgia, and at others celebrated in language and cultural distinctiveness.
How people define their Welsh identity differs. That is a given.
Some identify as Welsh rather than British, and others the other way around. Then there are some of us who live in Wales who are English and have embraced both culture and language.
I am aware that I shape how I understand Wales.
The photo is of a well-known slogan. This one is on the high street in Llangefni. You can see reflected in the photo some of the shops and also if you look carefully at me.
As we digest the formation of the next Welsh government, we need to be careful lest we expect it to be shaped just like us.
Mind how you go.
