A winter wonderland of snow. Mostly looking north across the Dyfi valley to the Tarren ridge and Cader Idris hiding under a hat full of snow.

Looking south towards Pumlumon as the snow cleared away. Nice to get out for a wander!

NEW: Organ tuners have been leaving temperature and humidity records in little-known books for decades. 🎹
They reveal how temperatures inside churches have changed over time due to climate change and increased heating.

Church organ tuning records mirror our warming climate
The records appear to reflect climate change, as well as the increased heating of churches in winter

Glad I've got this guy as my MP. A daft amendment that just kicks the problem down the road and causes way more problems than it fixes. Thanks Steve!
On BBC Radio Wales this morning, I welcomed the government listening to MP's deep concerns about welfare cuts, but said I couldn't support a bill that will now instead treat those who become disabled in the future differently to those already claiming PIP. I will be voting against on Tuesday

Really looking forward to getting this - there's been a few of Jon's photos that have transported me back 40 years, as a kid moving to Ponty, then realising how much has changed down there as well.

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

Teams meeting cancelled, so went for a wander round the Banau Brycheiniog. Love the wire fence balls dotted around the place, keep expecting some giant cat paw to appear and push them off the hillside!

Do you know a UK-based wheelchair user who works in a lab and would be willing to user-test our prototype of what is believed to be the first-ever lab coat adapted for wheelchair users?
