Charles Byrd was another amazing local artist. Cardiff Council owns many of his paintings but they're not very forthcoming about what will happen to them once the Council building in the bay is demolished... lingo.360.cymru/cylchgrawn/2...

They've just said on Pointless that Cardiff has more sun than Milan 😳🤔😱🙈

As well as my health and history columns, I have a new column with Lingo360, where we'll all learn together about Welsh artists over the centuries. Starting with the father of British landscape painting, the very Welsh Richard Wilson. lingo.360.cymru/cylchgrawn/2...

This is what Netanyahu does -- whenever negotiations for peace look like the could be successful, he assassinates the negotiators. I think we're on about the third iteration of this pattern. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Pre-ECHR, rights were almost completely at the whims of the current parliament - which doesn't always represent public majority. The Bill of Rights of 1689 could be very easily abolished by parliamentary majority. The ECHR created a set of rights that have an external guarantor. That's the point.

Latest Lingo360 article is about the National Botanical Gardens and the big house which is no longer there... lingo.360.cymru/cylchgrawn/2...

It was about time I wrote about something local... lingo.360.cymru/cylchgrawn/2...

I always have to stop at Aberteifi (Cardigan) on the way to Aberystwyth, love the town, the shops, the cafes, but they had their own 'Lady of the Van' for years at the castle. lingo.360.cymru/cylchgrawn/2...

Lovely day in Bristol yesterday, starting at the Red Lodge (Tudor museum), then the Georgian House, nearly gave myself a heart attack walking to the top of Cabot Tower, then the best part, the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery. I saw paintings by artists I've been learning about ❤️

Part 1 of my article about Llandovery lingo.360.cymru/cylchgrawn/2...

You know that Bargain Hunt expert who's been charged with terror offenses? He was the expert for the red team who lost against my blue team in 2019! This means my episode will never be repeated again! Yay!! No more messages from friends telling me when it's been repeated 🙈🙈🙈

My last article for Bylines Cymru under the outgoing editor Rachel who has been fantastic, getting the highest number of readers in the month she left. Big shoes to full. Anyway, this is about the ongoing saga of the sale of Rookwood Hospital in Cardiff. bylines.cymru/arts-and-cul...

My latest article in @bylines.cymru. Previously wrote about the Davies sisters, this is their equally fab brother, David Davies, 1st Lord Davies of Llandinam.

The sun started shining as soon as I got to Eastnor Castle. My perfect ideal of a faux castle and the walk around the lake was lovely.

Got this book from a second hand bookstore. The poems are written 'by' the cats of famous poets. The titles are hysterical, my fave is 'Do not go peaceable to that Damn Vet' by Dylan Thomas' cat 😹😹😹 and of course I have to use my cat bookmark for it...

I wrote this article a year ago and my editor just found it now to publish 🙈 it's about craft shops that I like. I haven't been to every craft shop in Wales, so I'm hoping readers will leave comments about their fave places. The photos are some of my own makes. lingo.360.cymru/2025/hoff-si...

A dear friend I've known for 20 years always makes me the most beautiful cards. This one is because I love Hollie Hobby 😻🥰❤️

If you could sign your own Executive Orders, what would they be? I'd start with confiscating the money of war mongering billionaires (sending all the money to the places where they caused war) and put all racists together on their own pathetic island (although to be far, Britain is already there).
