#rhondda — Public Fediverse posts

A 52 year old #Welshman has been #arrested for racially aggratvated public disorder for flying a #Nazi #swastika flag in a village in #Rhondda valley #Wales

Someone the same age as myself who harbours such views has very likely been doing so since a teenager, and probably felt emboldened to do this in the current climate...

"I’m going to begin with a single word, a word you might not associate with the Rhondda: if I said “Corona”, you might wonder if I was going to talk about the virus. But for people of my generation, in the Rhondda, and well beyond – across Wales and all over southern England – Corona means something else: pop!"

"And in August 1976, meeting in Grenoble, the IAU’s Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature decided that a crater in the Tritonis Lacus Region of Mars would be called… Porth."

Went to a cute new community cafe in tonyrefail. It is partly funded and organised by the council and run together with the local school (to tech business skills). I think this is a brilliant way to try to revive these little town centres. (And I sketched it, too). They also want people to go and work from there. I hope many people will use and support it.

Metal detecting on the okd parish roads along the Ogwr Ridgeway wasn’t a huge success. 2 Roman beer cans, 4 medieval bits of fencing and one huge hunk of early Iron Age metal. One day this will make me a millionaire.... #OgwrRidgeway #StPetersChapel #Dectorist #Rhondda #Cymru #Windfarm #sundays #sundayfun #walking #Cerdded

Framed - dad’s old street. It’s not there anymore.

I went up the mountain to paint this morning, but then I got rained on and had to turn back, so you will have to make do with photographs instead. Added a bonus dog that came over to check me out.

I am trapsing around the Welsh mountains, trying to find something fun to paint. A shepherd dog has already clocked me but seems to have deemed me no threat to his flock. Probably going to paint this because everything is very wet and i found a dry spot! 😅

Had a lovely sunny #walk through #Caerlan farm, near #tonyrefail.

And then it rained.
