I thought it was about time there was a new intro for me (and Daily #Wales). I’m in Eryri/Snowdonia, and am mildly obsessed with photographing it. Officially, I’m a food & wine editor, but also a spinner and knitter and an ex-archaeologist. I’m centre left and disgusted by the right ✊.
Daily #Wales with a little not-so-random archaeology from the village…

Oh, it’s #TombTuesday!

I implore someone, anyone, in the media…

Do your job

And the next time you have Farage on, please ask him directly:

…what were the motivations behind this?

The latest pathetic attempt by Reform UK supporters to distance themselves from Nathan Gill and #ReformRussianBribes is to say ‘Reform UK didn’t exist when he took the bribes’.

UKIP > Independent > Brexit Party > Reform UK

That’s the path Gill and Farage took TOGETHER.

Daily #Wales from the archives, reflecting the wind that is currently whistling around the house. Not a landscape, but… 😉

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Indeed. That we have another crisis and end up with some absolutely useless, crazy haired idiot like johnson in charge so it all gets fucked up completely and thousands of people die and the person at the top doesn't get jailed for life.

Nigel Farage needs investigating by the police for the same reasons as Nathan Gill.
His whole party is rotten and the rot starts at the top.
No Russian money can be allowed in British politics.

Daily #Wales with a random pic for Saturday.

Ah - the woods behind the village in spring. The scent of the massed bluebells is always extraordinary…

Yes!!!

Nathan Gill (Reform / Wales) sentenced to 10.5 years for taking Russian bribes. Couldn’t happen to a nicer man 😉🤣

Again, I recall Michael Gove in Parliament basically saying to one pissed off Tory MP after another: Let’s just shitefest this disastrous drivel over the line and argue about the details later. An argument that appears to have won over basically everyone who matters, who then sold it to the public.

Call it what it is Farage's Brexit.
Brexit has caused almost twice as much damage to the UK economy than estimated by official forecasts, according to new paper from a group of experts including a senior Bank of England economist

No photos of snow from this year (work) but have one from a few years ago for today’s Daily #Wales, as the snow line is similar.

(The pointy one, head in cloud, is Yr Wyddfa / Snowdon)

Daily #Wales back in summer again, as we had snow on the tops yesterday. Hm.
November 20, 2025 at 6:56 AM
Daily #Wales - is looking back to summer as there’s a warning for ice in the forecast. Brrr.

More sheep from Daily #Wales today (of course). But this one should clearly have had audio.
November 18, 2025 at 5:27 AM
Daily #Wales hasn’t featured sheep for a while. This cannot be allowed to continue…

This week Nathan Gill, Reform UK’s Leader in Wales will be sentenced for 8 charges of Russian bribes.

Here’s Farage calling him an “honest, decent and honourable man”.

Let’s not forget that whilst he was taking the bribes, Farage was making similar pro-Russian speeches in the European Parliament.

#StandingStoneSunday The mighty Devil's Chair entrance stone at Avebury henge, Wiltshire. One of a handful of original stones that was never toppled by villagers

Coming from west Wales, the enormous scale of this monument & its megaliths is always a shock to the system 🤯

More harking back from Daily #Wales, but today (following a chat with friends yesterday) looking back to the snowy winter of 2010/11. Pretty but a pain in the arse - particularly when falling over.

Daily #Wales definitely harking back to summer before going out to see what damage Storm Claudia has caused …

Daily #Wales is still harking back to summer (tomorrow, we have weather warnings for … rain)

Midsummer night on the beach. Sigh.
