UFOs, ghosts and archaeology all come together in a great account from #Llandetty parish, in #Powys. It was first recorded in 1813. One night a man saw near a chapel a light 'as big as a Church Tower', which shrank to 'the size of a small star', alternating between the two. [Cont: #PhantomsFriday

🆕🚌 Alexander Dennis has delivered five Enviro200 single-decker buses to #Herefordshire operator Sargeants Bros in a repeat order linked to ongoing fleet expansion. The 8.9m, 30-seat buses with seatbelts will operate local services from the firm’s new Hereford depot, opened on 13 April.
The vehicles feature real-time passenger information, twin display screens and induction loops for hearing-impaired users, meeting PSVAR requirements, and carry Sargeants’ traditional red livery.
The order follows the operator’s first Enviro200 in 2025, with more now in service. Managing director Matt Evans cited suitability for rural routes, fuel efficiency and strong aftersales support as key factors.
Sargeants Bros operates around 45 buses across Herefordshire and #Powys. Since its 2019 acquisition, the fleet has grown significantly alongside expanded routes and investment in staff and technology. Alexander Dennis welcomed the repeat order and continued partnership.

Not a good night for (at least) one candidate at #Senedd hustings in #Talgarth, #Powys.
"Audience members laughed when the Senedd hopeful said she wanted Wales’ parliament abolished, and later booed as she made a series of contentious claims, including suggesting that women in Wales were resorting to backstreet abortions and that three-year-olds were being taught to masturbate in schools."

I think I’m in favour of the proposed Glyndŵr National Park. Yeah, it’ll scupper some planning arrangements but having the Dee Valley and Clwydian Range promoted from AONB to a National Park would be good for the local tourist economy.

Greetings! Can I interest you in a heartwarming donation and/or signal boost of this small Welsh town volunteer-organised Pride festival?
https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/sara-archer-1
Pride is deeply needed in rural Wales, where being queer can be so isolating. And since it's only small, you get a lot of bang for your buck - 16% of the £750 goal has been raised already. :)
Last year was our first Pride (Balchder in Welsh), and thanks to signal boosts on Mastodon and Tumblr it was fully funded within 24 hours, it was EPIC and the organisers were so chuffed that they COULD NOT EVEN.

A serial #car #thief has been sent to #jail and banned from #driving after stealing and crashing an #EV converted #VW #Kombi ( Typ2) in #Powys #Wales worth £65 000 as he couldn't handle the vehicles acceleration and skidded on manure on a country road (alas, the vehicle was written off)
(incidentally this seems to be a *really* quick turnaround for a Crown #Court case, from #arrest (and #remand) to jail barely within a month?)

"At the same time there are things that interest me, and things that I love. I love a broken chair that is worn through to the wood; it is a chair that can tell its own tale; I have a terror of anything that is sound and whole. I love a broken roller left in a field; my little boys come with me up a little hill and play by it; it is left in a field that belongs to a crippled farmer, a weakly tottering old man, crooked and bent; all his farm tools are broken and tied up with string, and the roller is the most broken, and that is why we love it the best. It is much better, I have found to love a chair than to love a person; there is often more of God in a chair, and God often rests by the side of the old roller and watches my little boys play and the old farmer at plough."

One of my local GPs is crowdfunding to buy some air filters for our local school, in order to reduce COVID and other viruses for students and staff and everyone in the community.

We're just a little town in mid Wales and kinda broke, but our community is so vibrant and smart and innovative and caring. I'm so glad to live here. <3

📰 Owain Glyndwr: Call for public takeover of #Sycharth site 🏴
Personally I love that it was a theatre company doing a site visit ahead of a musical about Owain that raised the alarm that the site was overgrown and neglected. Culture and heritage folks, man :blobcathearthug:
Full read here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-63058447
Whatcha reckon? Should #Cadw take on the site fully to look after it better? Apparently there are petitions and everything.

Llanwrtyd Wells has three well attended walking groups that cater for all abilities, from short leisurely walks to more rigorous long distance walks. They closely monitor the footpath network in our area and work well with Powys council on improving rights of way.

Interesting discussions today on upland peat management, improving links between #Powys CC and #BBNP, and the armed forces covenant in the county. And of course lots of stands and great fireworks to finish at #RWAS #WinterFair

Good morning everyone!
This is called The Moment I Knew.
I took this during a walk along Offa's Dyke out of Knighton back in November 2018.
When I pulled this up back at home in Lightroom, that's when I knew that the Fujifilm system could work for me.
