Not so sleepy #Cymru after all. #Fishguard just down the road from me.
A story I will write one day is the role #PembrokeDock plays in circumventing #UK #Trade & #Tarrif barriers. #EU 🇪🇺 & #Eire 🇮🇪 I have #Photographs 📷😎 #moley #mole (old timer) ✊🏾

Since I missed the annual return of #Fishguard Invasion day on Saturday, here's to Happy Surrender Day.
(No pitchforks or French soldiers where harmed in writing this article.)

Disaster struck with a puncture on my bike ride from Trefin to Fishguard. Luckily I managed to walk back in time to watch the rugby! #Trefin #Abercastle #Fishguard #StrumbleHead #Mathry #Abercastell #Abergwaun #Beico #Rygbi #Cymru #Pembrokshire #SirBenfro #TyDewi #Sunset #Machlud #Cerdded #AmserDa

Breathtaking scenery along the wildlife corridor that is the Gwaun Valley. The mizzle didn’t detract from the bike ride and give me the perfect opportunity to dry off in the Bridge End Inn at Llanychaer (Bessie’s wasn’t open 😢)

Been back to my old @PortsPastPres stomping grounds in #Fishguard today, but this time on #Bywgraffiadur business, talking with two telly folks from France about the French Invasion, stitching that got out of hnd and what it's got to do with a local lady shoemaker. The results will be available a little later this year on Arte. So watch this space.

Because it's #French surrender day over in #Fishguard and because Jemima Nicholas had a #PurplePlaque unveiled today in her honour, here's a little piece I wrote a little while back about the visual #iconography surrounding the Battle of Fishguard.

"A plaque is being unveiled in honour of Jemima Nicholas in the seaside town of Fishguard, south-west Wales, close to where she faced down French troops in February 1797. There will be songs, poems and speeches to commemorate her courage."

Once again the #anniversary of the #Fishguard Invasion of 1797, aka the last invasion of the British mainland by a foreign army, is upon us.
I currently have an article in preparation with Literature & History. So while they are getting it ready for publication later this year, enjoy this #OpenAccess pre-print version now. In this article, I discuss three #Victorian historical novels about the invasion and their radically different outlook.

Time for a little bit of self-promotion now that I stumbled over the Channel 4 channel (?!) on YouTube and this year's series of 'Britain by Beach'. Word had gotten out that I'd been doing a little bit of research and writing around the 1797 #Fishguard Invasion by the French, and that's how I ended up gesticulating enthusiastically in front of a camera whilst standing on a pebbly, not quite beach in the south-west of #Wales.
Enjoy a spot of #AgeOfRevolutions history.

The ever so on the ball @scrivenersmith just set up our project account for @PortsPastPres. If you are interested in #IrishSea history and heritage shared between #Wales and #Ireland, the ferry ports between them (#Holyhead, #Fishguard, #PembrokeDock, #RosslareHarbour, #DublinPort), then give us a follow. We hope our stories will get you excited about visiting these communities the next time you use the ferry and have a few hours of spare time. https://youtu.be/KkmUuDqKDIc

#Hivemind request. Does anyone know of poetry written in the nineteenth century set around #Fishguard or on the Pencaer? Can be in #Welsh or #English. Will repay tip-offs with eternal gratitude.

And here are the Welsh cousins, #Fishguard, #PembrokeDock and #Holyhead.
Now, go and explore them. They are fantastic little communities with oodles of heritage and character.
Don't believe me? Well, just watch our short docus. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrSqDy-CF3zCb7oDOvhwml6P47pF9YGOA
