Love our vintage Christmas fairy. She was always on top of our tree when I was a child. Bit battered and bruised now, but she lives to see another year.

Have made buckets of this stuff over the years with homegrown chillis. It’s a firm Christmas favourite from my favourite Christmas cookbook πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸŽ„

Good luck to everyone heading to the @comms2point0.bsky.social #Unawards in Birmingham today. It was a privilege to be part of the judging.

Sad to be missing it but Chris and Sarah will be repping Perago. Have fun and enjoy a day of celebrating all things good in public sector comms.

We've been working with Caerphilly Council to launch a campaign to tackle recurring questions.

Public sector ways of working and finances aren’t always the most exciting topics, but we’re hoping this campaign will help.

The first video on reserves is here:

I think I will start doing charity takeovers on here when I hit 10,000 followers

Ha ha. Thanks but definitely not mine πŸ˜‚ it was James Sommerin’s restaurant in Penarth called β€˜Home’. That’s the restaurant kitchen. The grandchild was his. I shouldn’t have been so cryptic!!

My view for lunch today. Kitchen, bar area, kid coming back from school and hanging about in the kitchen for a chat, baby grandchild chuckling through his occasional appearances and a relaxed family vibe. Really did feel like β€˜Home’.

Over 10 years ago a chat with @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social at the Hay festival convinced my mum to join Twitter. Now setting her up on here instead. Welcome to Bluesky @lmlgower.bsky.social

Supporting the West Wales Women & Girls League - Perago Perago supported the West Wales Women & Girls League to create a brand and a digital presence that would inspire a new generation of players.

Following a good night for Welsh football I’m sharing this post from Perago colleague Liam. We sponsor the West Wales Women and Girls’ League and as part of that worked on a rebrand.

I’m biased of course but think it looks really good.

Chilly in the office today. Using the big screen to trick my brain.

Earlier in the year I wrote a post for @comms2point0.bsky.social on the role of comms in successful service transformation, particularly in local government. Sharing for those of you on here with an interest in these things!

New to Bluesky? Welsh? Connection to Wales?

This might be a starter pack for you.

If there’s somebody you think should be added, or if you’d like to be added, let me know 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Would rip it up given half a chance. Many a new bed has gone that way.

Joined here back in Sept 23. Only person I could find back then was @rorycj.bsky.social and while the Sophie updates were worth the visit in themselves I’ve only just come back over to see what’s happening. And there’s people. And chat. Will hang around a bit.
