"It's remarkable that you can have a culture that's shunted into the west side of Britain that has nothing to do with the English at all." How Led Zeppelin star Robert Plant's love of Wales' mystical culture shaped his songs.

Roath Park in the Welsh capital looking stunning this autumn…🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁

Good CHRIST we have to stop them. A line in the sand must be drawn and it must be drawn HERE. Our grandchildren will ask us why we did NOTHING to prevent this.

Remember Remember the 5th of November - gunpowder treason and plot. Well gunpowder might have been taken out of the equation, but Nigel Farage is the most insidious, treacherous little Troll ever to enter politics. I wonder how many people will be burning 'him' in effigy tonight 🔥

Do you like science and comedy and music and ridiculous mashups of all those things? Do you also happen to live in Cardiff? Well, book your tickets for 9 Carols at the Cardiff Glee Club, December 9th. booking.glee.co.uk/2... Featuring many brilliant acts. And also me.

for a little bit of Monday morning joy........

It's National Sandwich Day. As it happens, my pet peeve is sandwiches not being buttered to the edges of the bread. That, and the howling existential void that makes a cruel mockery of all our hopes and dreams. But mostly the sandwiches.

Throwback Sunday evening…. For those who like me fell in love with Dee C Lee youtu.be/OVrJrgLU9JU?...

The sublime in action in Porthcawl yesterday

'Guess my nationality' quiz: On holiday in Europe. Three days in, located supermarket to buy properly sized mugs, breakfast teabags, and fresh milk to keep in the minibar. Slightly scared of the staff finding out.

Autumn in Parc Cefn Onn, one of my favourite places in Cardiff. The beautiful park with former bathing pool & summerhouse was created by Ernest Prosser in 1911 for his son Cecil to recuperate from TB. Prosser planned to build a house on the site but his son died in 1922 and he never did so.

We in The Valleys delivered a gut punch to Nigel Farage, despite being bombarded on social media platform X with 'Wales Needs Reform' propaganda. They tried to convince us it was a certainty, even as former leader Nathan Gill awaited trial on bribery and corruption charges. Take heed; Never Reform.

I just signed the campaign calling to suspend Reform UK’s Sarah Pochin MP for her racist comments - add your name now: act.38degrees.org.uk/act/suspend-...

Hi, I’m Mollie 👋 I’m a freelance social media manager & content marketer, based in Cardiff. I’ve worked in the charity sector for the past few years and recently took a leap into full-time freelancing.

Wow

Hello darkness, my old friend. You’re early. Fuck off.

That Welsh by-election is the first election Putin has lost in over 20 years.

At last some good news! 🤣

Llongyfarchiadau Caerffili 👏👏👏

my friends, I am in a 10-person capacity record bar in Tokyo requesting songs and drinking Japanese whisky. the owners are a married couple chain smoking behind the bar, slinging cocktails, and spinning records. this is heaven??? goodbye forever I have died ✌️

A ridiculous proposal of a 50 storey building containing 528 homes in central Cardiff, just over 100 yards from my home. Please sign the petition against the building and - most important of all! - save my right to morning sunlight! www.change.org/p/save-cardi...

If there is a parked car on the pavement I will literally walk over it if I can get up the bumper and onto the bonnet or boot, rather than go around it. If I leave a footprint or a dent, even better. It's a footpath, dickheads, park your car properly and not in my right of way.

Hey @adamthomaswalton.bsky.social my daughter is doing her undergraduate dissertation on the relationship between Welsh language music and national identity. She’s hoping to get interviews with artists. Anyone you’d recommend? I’m thinking Adwaith, Melin Melyn, Pys Melyn, Sage Todz etc

Christianity could learn a lot

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Just a suggestion… But shouldn’t we have our own NO KING protests #NoKing #EndTheMonarchy

Please help me! I’m on X because that’s where my paintings sell. I shift about 95% of my work there. If I could just get my followers up to the same level here, it would release me from the swamp. I live in the middle of nowhere so I rely on social media to share & show my work.
