If Cwm Gwaun really was 'timeless', they wouldn't be celebrating New Year's Day once, let alone twice.

It’s rare for Welsh manuscripts to have illustrations such as this peacock, and this copy of the Welsh laws, National Library of Wales MS 20143A, has a number of fun marginal drawings as well as miniatures. I’m partial to the two-headed wyvern doing double-duty catching run-ons in both columns. 1/3

A mega-rarity for Cardiff Bay yesterday - Red-breasted Merganser - the first one I've seen in the Bay in 35 years or so, found by Alex Bevan. As is oft the case for good birds in the bay it was as far from land as it could get (about 400m)! #birdingwales

From the the Barnett formula to the humiliation of having an English ‘Prince of Wales’, you’d never catch Scotland allowing this treatment

High above Hirwaun, within a sprawling 2.5-acre churchyard, stands the now redundant St Cynog, Penderyn. The decaying, rather melancholic lychgate is Grade II listed, as is the neighbouring signpost noted as "a rare, well-preserved example of Breconshire style." #FingerpostFriday
