Our story of Aedyn
In Cornwall, a pit dug out for china clay was turned into the Eden Project, where huge domes made of hexagonal panels, like giant soap bubbles against the quarry wall, hold a rainforest and a Mediterranean garden. Aedyn may carry Eden, or Aidan with a new spelling; the record does not say. Either way it is soft and easy to say.
