Cartoon of two people looking down a garden towards a house, with high hedges on either side. One says "Nice lawn!". The other replies "To be honest it's a bit of a double-hedged sward".

On this day in 1897 Nye Bevan, the founder of our NHS, was born in South Wales.

Today let's remind ourselves of the struggle to create our NHS and reinvigorate our determination to defend it 👏

Flooding in our town, #Monmouth - we absolutely need to take this #ClimateCrisis seriously - enough of populist nonsense - time for real solutions to help the planet and ordinary people:

They’re running Under Milk Wood as originally broadcast, for the first time, this weekend on R4 Extra. Obviously, it’s brilliant. And I highly recommend a listen. It still sounds amazing; truly timeless. The most dated bit is the credits - but, oh, those character names.

Tonight is the final episode of THE ABERGELE FILES. There are spies, casinos, master criminals, murders and a gunfight on the roof of a speeding train.

'Geneva' is on Radio Wales at 6.30 and BBC Sounds after that

Bore da folks!
Is it Stonechat Thursday?
It is now 😄
One of my fave clifftop birds. This one snapped in evening light from the Wales coastpath.
Portrait of a make stonechat with russet breast and the white "vicar" collar. Teeny legs and feet clinging to the very top of a thin stalk protruding from a leafless gorse bush.

Today I sang about biscuits, amongst other foodstuffs: 'Ode to a Rich Tea' (courtesy of @wombat37.bsky.social), 'You must remember this, a quiche is still a quiche' (courtesy of Ian McMillan) and 'How many biscuits can you eat this morning?' (via @snowfloe.bsky.social iirc).Hurrah for social media.

There are many subtle and complex arguments one can have about the future of the BBC — but I guarantee you that no other channel or streaming service will be as committed to factual programming, children’s education, history shows, religious discussion, poetry, arts, or state of the nation debate

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

A grey Tues in prospect so here are a couple of Gower ponies enjoying sunshine up on Cefn Bryn looking north over the commons to the Loughor estuary. 😍
Have a good day folks!
#Gower #SouthWales
Two grey ponies in sunshine on rough grassland on Cefn Bryn, the ridge that runs through the centre of the Gower peninsula. Behind them the commons are russet and fawn with green rocky outcrops on the edge of the Loughor estuary in the distance. Mostly blue sky.
