Welsh. Carmarthen born . Now living in the Sirhowy Valley .
Judging by the way her nose is always on the ground I’d have expected to see a scent hound figure prominently! #DNA

I have raised $500 so far—thank you! Every bit helps, but I’m still far from the goal. I know times are tough, and I’m deeply grateful for any support. If you can share or spread the word, it means the world. The TARDIS may wobble, but hope still hums in its circuits.

Can you help identify this 'team' of shoplifters who ran a coordinated effort to shoplift from our Merthyr shop? At a time when we are struggling to meet rising costs, incidents like this are a big blow to our charity. Help support the shop at: greyhoundrescuewales.beaconforms.com/form/133e245...

Had a covid jab in Llandudno, 5 miles away today. For a 10am appt I had to get a bus leaving at 7:24, wait 2 hrs for the appt, which lasted 5 mins. Return bus left at 12:15pm, got home at 1pm. That's the level of public transport I get whilst paying toward these "England & Wales" projects elsewhere.

May 13th is the anniversary of the first of the Rebecca Riots.

Taking place between 1839 and 1843 in West and Mid Wales, they were a series of protests undertaken by local farmers and agricultural workers in response to high levels of taxation and tolls.

You’d think with all the space in a secure dog walking field our lurcher could run without running into me at full speed. A total wipe out! glasses went one way hearing aid the other . Legs completely out from under me. She was fine. Didn’t feel a thing .

As it is #AdoptAGreyhoundMonth and #nationalpetday have a look at why greyhounds make great pets! (We may have snuck a few lurchers in to!)

It costs almost £16,000 a week to keep our charity running. Could you donate to help a greyhound in need? bit.ly/DonatetoGRW

Chris Amoo from The Real Thing singing a cappella in our friend’s mother’s funeral was not something I expected . A class act . Resisted the temptation to get my phone out and record it.

Fascinating.
Last month I did a little experiment.

I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky.

The results were...interesting...

If 2016 referendum was being held now, how would you
vote?

Remain in the EU:

Wales 81% (+29)
Scotland 72% (+10)
England 64% (+ 17)

Leave the EU:

England 36% (-17)
Scotland 28% (-10)
Wales 19% (-29)

(YouGov, 20-21 January 2025, excluding WNV & DK; +/- change from 2016 referendum)
The number of Britons saying the UK was right to vote to leave the EU has hit its lowest level since the referendum, ahead of the fifth anniversary of Brexit on Friday

Right to vote to leave: 30% (-3 from Nov)
Wrong to vote to leave: 55% (=)

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏
