To use a certain welsh vernacular here. Tamping!!! 😡 www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-n...

Yesterday it was hot steel for work. Today it was hot tea 😎 Seriously it was. A tea plantation in Cornwall today. Tegothnan Can’t share most of my photos as it’s a private estate, same Family since 1300s and it’s a bit wow to be fair. So some tea plants and a harvester!

I don’t like to share hotel pics generally. (I’m normally cheap and cheerful) But love the ceiling in this one. Sucker for a gothic ceiling me Told it’s an ex convent

No American should have to walk past soldiers to vote!

Good to see this stalwart of south wales economy still prospering. Many will drive by on the m4 every day and not know it’s there. Renishaw celebrates 15 years at Miskin with Open Day – GTFM gtfm.co.uk/renishaw-cel...

Went down a “mogg” research hole today seeing a mogg plaque at Clyro church. Ended up finding that the Rees in current Jacob Rees mogg stems From John Rees of wick in glamorganshire back in the day. Still looking fir the Clyro mogg link americanaristocracy.com/people/john-re…

New banknotes the latest culture war. Now I love a bit of history too, but actually think these look great. That said apart from en emergency tenner I hardly use cash now too.

Up the Romance languages !!! Map couod do with the home Name too!

Social media is toxic, really is. But it has plus sides. There are great people in the world and to be frank it’s worth finding them. Lovely evening with a Twitter friend. Welsh boy done well so all power to him. Good company is worth more than anything else. Really is. Cheers!

1906 election. I know it’s 120 years but who then would have thought the liberals in wales would be so few now ? Great map

Great to hear @DafyddTrystan extoll the virtues of the park run movement on five live. Lovely to have a welsh voice on and support one of the best grass roots things it benefit society this century. 👍👍

Released 65yrs ago today. BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S (1961)

Sunday sermon..... Why is SEPARATE such a difficult concept?

Did a little Post recently about a great historic restoration in tiger bay by a private sector school . Was great. Had a little jibe to credit the council too. Which I retweeted. Credit if due. Someone has posted this from splott today. 20 plus years……….credit is earned

Pub this afternon and one of the boys interviewed by danish tv about gareth bale in 11s Went roughly like this; “ great player,…Welsh talisman, legend of the game here…. Goals that took us to euros and WC … Ruined this pub mind. Dempsey a was great, now bang average” 😂

I am Nearly normal again after yesterday’s jolly! Now my phone died so any rhymney valley pub photo essay is dead but I got a few pics to support some writing. Stand out pic though is this gem building on bargoed high street. Love it. Anyone got details?

I have been talked into a railway mikey rayer! Recommendations for pubs on the rhymney valley line? Rhymney first step at 12

All things considered, And as interesting as the book launch was , - the wrong decision !

ales v Norway Or Welsh politics book Launch. Wonder if I’ve made the right choice here 🤔 Ask me at ten tonight !

The timeless beauty of ancient glass! This Roman glass scent bottle is around 2,000 years old, yet its elegant design feels surprisingly modern! British Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology

Doesn’t matter who is in Westminster and making conference speeches, the UK is at the mercy of global trade. FTSE 100 Stocks rocked by global bound rout www.cityam.com/ftse-100-liv...

While the welsh links to Yale are well known. Less well known is that the major force in founding brown is Pontypool boy Reverend Morgan Edwards. Penn has significant welsh links too based in and supported by those of the “welsh tract”. Decent haul for welsh migrants! HT - brilliant maps

Flint Castle, North Wales reconstruction. Classic design with Donjon on its own as last stand point if courtyard breached during siege. (Donjon should really be at the back rather than front of house which is a bit of a puzzle. Unless they were expecting naval assaults.

#OtD 30 Sep 1871 20,000 workers protested in Newcastle, UK during a strike by engineers for a maximum 9-hour working day. After five months, the strike was successful, and 9 hours became standard across the country stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1034...

Love that people are also loving this restoration. Reminded me What was lost a stones throw away. Merchant exchange. Surely Cardiffs biggest Victorian loss ?

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Never been to the opera before? Now’s your chance. We’re giving away 70,000 free tickets to the @metopera at the iconic Lincoln Center. Go to on.nyc.gov/opera to enter the lottery. There’s not a bad seat in the house.

Been riding the Sheffield tram 😎 Pretty awesome piece of kit. But did not realise how extensive it was. That is some impressive metropolitan network. Fair play

Nice piece from the beeb about the death of Normandy veteran Ken Hay at 101. His speech about doing everything possible to avoid war shows up Jacob Rees mogg piece about doing duty. Avoid war. And far more we could d be doing to pressure russia

My main campaign @RCSnews was to ensure wales moved ahead with surgical hubs. Took a while but got the last government to support the approach and great to see this latest investment in full swing. North wales version in Llandudno close this year www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-n...

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Made it !!! 😎 I love Barry. But my god the last ninety mins wales coast path to Barry island is rubbish. ( and a lot of rubbish) Feet and legs gone. So pool and sauna to recover. Have had or leave the sauna as a restore faithful voter holds court. Sad to hear 😟

It’s @Guinness_Global Jim, but not as we know it Kind of sums up my afternoon so far. Ticket fiasco ! Good luck Ceri d Davies from Swansea getting to you seat !

For all those who bang on about west wales rail connections. (Especially the two towns that have rail stations already!!) Getting hay back on the railways should be a priority. 😉 Here in 1962 ht @ColinSpenc4257 for the pic

Obama: “Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. You’re laughing, but this is what’s happening. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent right now would have tolerated behavior like that from me.” Clip courtesy @meidastouch.com

Still good

Was at an event yesterday and a business man went on a big speech about why business isn’t loved or embraced in the Uk. I didn’t agree with him, but think the inability by many to see rampant inequality is a na issue we need to get to grips with.

Just reading the school newsletter - loved this Eisteddfod Chair - special gift to the school. We are delighted to share that we have received a 1904 Eisteddfod chair as a gift to the school. The winner of the chair was ‘Alarch Ogwy’ James Clement (1862–1943) from Skewen, Neath
