I write, I play music, I trampoline. I also lie about trampolining. Latest works all on the website www.dewiheald.com and the Dai Bongos YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@thedaibongoschannel3988
I've decided to confuse people who follow my #music and #poetry #videos by also uploading the #hiking videos. #November was so #wet that I decided to do a #video about #flooding rather than my usual #walk. Enjoy. Or don't.That's just the way it is.Oh there's kind of #thememusic!

I've been going through old #videos looking for #performances I might have forgotten-this is The Hot Singles of #Minehead from some time in summer (at #Talisman in #Swansea). I've added some geography in case the joke isn't obvious! #music #comedy #writing #openmic #wales #cymru

I've uploaded a #live version of the #ISawHerStandingThere variations, by #Lennon, #McCartney and #Bongos (#Dai). Recorded in #Swansea and with some great audience participation. See it before Apple Corps get wind of it and sue me! #wales #cymru #livemusic #writing #openmic

I know you all like a #poem occassionally and here is #poetry from the #poems&pints night in #LlanilltudFawr this #October. It's also my first attempt to use #AI for #subtitles. It's done pretty well! #writers #wales #llantwitmajor #cymru #limes

I've done another video - not a music one, not a books one, but this time one of the #hiking ones. Actually did this #hike over a month ago, but only just now uploaded. Come with me to #Llancarfan in the #Vale of #Glamorgan to see the #decorated #church #wales #cymru

This was #KateMosse in #Swansea last night talking about #writing, #publishing and #women in #literature. Inspiring and interesting.. though no mention of her famous career as a model? 😉

I've decided to put my #hiking videos on #YouTube as well. Why not? Spread the love or, in this case, spread the short, sarcastic rant about people not looking after the #countryside.

Apologies for a lack of updates, but I have been without internet at home for a week. Waiting for @talktalk and @openreach to sort it out :(

I'm not really a #poet but being around #poets means that sometimes I am #inspired to #write. So here is a little #poem about #hayfever from the #TalismanOpenMic in #May

I am back to #walkingcheerfully over the world. I don't normally do the #gower #photos here but maybe I need to, just to add a little stunning coastline to your day :)

Just thought my BlueSky followers might want a sneak preview of this advert for #ATravellingQuakerWritesVolumeTwo which will be launching soon. It's a great #book for anyone interested in #Quakers or #travel or both :)

It's a bit of a niche publication maybe, but if you are interested in #Quakers and #travel then may I recommend #VolumeTwo of #ATravellingQuakerWrites, now available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble or direct from the author dewiheald@gmail.com.
