They made it home through the rain. Curtains pulled, sofa occupied, wine chilling, cats deployed, @pettigrewbakes.bsky.social's legendary laminated pastries at the ready & all feels well in our corner of the world. Left: Caprese Danish Right: Blackberry, Honey & Lavender Danish

Dropping into @pettigrewbakes.bsky.social Roath Garage for some hot cross buns & scanning the display while they're being bagged up is dangerous. It's very hard to stop saying, "..and...and..." Went full-on Danish. Glamorgan Sausage Danish each, a Key Lime Pie Danish to share.

Made our day 💖👌🏼👍🏼

If you've been feeling hopeless about humanity and disappointed in the many so-called Christians who elected Trump, I encourage you to watch Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budd speaking to Trump at mass today. THIS is courage, strength, grace, and compassion in action. www.msnbc.com/andrea-mitch...

A half a kilometre of lights burn in memory of our lost loved ones. They run from Westminster Bridge to Lambeth Bridge. ♥️

MADE MY DAY! 😊

New on the blog - a corker of a Sunday lunch at Silures in Roath #Cardiff gourmetgorro.blogspot.com/2024/12/silu...

New on the blog is a look at the cracking value set lunch at Hiraeth, a restaurant which feels right at home in Victoria Park #Cardiff gourmetgorro.blogspot.com/2024/12/hira...

One reason Bluesky (still) works for news is that there’s no obvious, pervasive culture of misinformation. If someone you trust reshares something on, say, Syria, the odds that it’s a chud trying to troll people remains relatively low.

What is even the point of the weekend if you don't have a cinnamon bun from @pettigrewbakes.bsky.social?

WE ARE OPEN 😺

Cutest post of the day claxon

This award is dedicated to all the volunteers, businesses, growers and the people who have donated their money to make this project happen. I’m truly honoured and humbled to be this year’s Morning Live BBC Food & Farming Awards Community Food Champion #bbcfoodawards

For #SmallBusinessSaturday, let’s share our favorite bicycle-focused small businesses. Please tag the business &/or include a link to their website. 🚲 ❤️

Reminder: Don’t just block on Bluesky, report. This place actually will ban trolls and harassment. Second pro-tip: My comment section is a great place to practice this.

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots. To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

My latest Guardian piece. Until I moved to Wales, I never knew how badly it was treated. Working at a journo it became clear that not only is Wales treated like less of a country than Scotland, but that it has come to just accept this poor treatment. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Your IKEA product name is your name spelled backwards with an umlaut. WERGÏTTEP - an indulgent post checkout snack food item you've never heard of mostly made of butter. (Spelling backwards is hard)

We cycle a lot. Our staff, our boss, our customers. So it's been awesome to have been given our own vintage bakers delivery bike in pride of place adorning our Christmas window in Victoria Park. Honk honk

It's time to bring back the original presenter

Don’t mind me, just casually dropping that time me and Snoop were practically besties

Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs: "We had a budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards." Here are the tractors blockading the streets of Whitehall in March this year. They were protesting - you really couldn't make this up - Badenoch's trade policies. 😂

Stollen has landed! All the shops and online. Decadent & delicious.

I made this video looking at Wales' new tourism tax. It explores how much it will be, when it is coming in and why they are doing it. If you prefer it old school I have also done you a thread! [Thread] youtu.be/QoAPDixVEeY?...

Phenomenal volumes of water coming in on top the electrics of Christmas at Bute Park Light Show. Last time (Feb 2020) took a full week to subside.

⚠️ FLOODING inside Bute Park Cardiff today. 😢

⚠️ Flooding on the Taff Trail footpath in Cardiff, after the river burst its banks. Usually busy with cyclists and walkers on a weekend near the A48 Western Avenue bridge. Alternative routes needed today. #StormBert #Cardiff
