The most recent building erected in St Fagins Museum near Cardiff so glad I never visited this pub when it was in situ in Cardiff but great that you can get a pint if required while visting all the wonderful buildings as it can be thirsty work

My buddleia bushes are infected with these. Both bushes leaves are wilting and dying anyone know what they are and how to treat....think I may have to chop the bushes down as they are usually healthy

@rspb.bsky.social I find it weird admittedly I forgot to do The Big Garden Bird Watch this year but always find that a week or so later I always see more birds in the garden. They seem to stay away when 'the count' is on. This bullfinch amongst goldfinches, + others the last few days

One of my fav places for a home game Sardis Road. Well done @PontypriddRFC good result against a team that could so easily have reversed the result
