Driving through the Brecon Beacons tonight. Was expecting a few by-election posters, but surprised to see what looked like a Brexit Party bus, crashed into a hedge. Got out to check all was ok. No one around, just an abandoned bus, doors open, side-on, blocking a lay-by...

The end of the road. For some, the end of an era. ⚽️ But thank you for getting us here. To make a World Cup finals, is a massive achievement for a small country. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Diolch yn fawr, #Cymru .👏 #Wales #WALENG #TogetherStronger

When technical problems make your breakfast TV bulletins look like 'Top of The Pops' graphics from the 70s...🕺🏽 #DoTheHustle #TOTP

Fascinating Paula Yates doc on Channel 4. An intoxicating flashback to 80s and 90s pop culture… and a sad reminder how sexist and racist the tabloids could be. #Paula

What a difference a day makes. From spring sunshine to stormy seas in Aberporth. Good old Welsh weather, hey?! #Ceredigion #CardiganBay

A sad week for music. Now we say farewell to Martin Duffy. If you’ve ever sung or danced to Loaded, Moving On Up, Rocks et al… raise a glass to the powerhouse behind the keyboards for Primal Scream. 💔

Decided to embrace turning fifty! Thanks for the warm wishes, folks. Lifted my spirits on a cold January day… otherwise known as eight years to the day Bowie died.⚡️

Tonight's moon rising over Snowdonia, as seen from beautiful Beaumaris on Anglesey. Sometimes Wales is just breathtaking...

For those of us of a certain age, The Wombles, Doctor Who and The Railway Children were a big part of our childhood and a golden age of children’s TV. #RIP Bernard Cribbins - thanks for the wonderful memories. 📺 #BernardCribbins

Farewell Judith Durham, who has died at the age of 79. From 'The Carnival is Over' to 'Georgy Girl', those crystal-clear vocals for The Seekers, made her one of the most distinctive pop voices of the 60s. #RIP #JudithDurham
