I am in awe of the community spirit that's delivered this massive clean up operation. The rugby community and Blackwood residents should be proud of what has been achieved in a short space of time.

Another sad day for 'Music City' as The Moon Cardiff announces it's closing. I for one am glad the politicians marched down the street for a photo op and then did absolutely nothing to grow the music scene.
RIP the Moon Club, 10ft tall, four Bars, the GwdihΕ΅, buffalo Bar.....

As any policy person in Wales knows, it's consultation season right now. This is helpful (and funny) company for the many consultation responses I'm working on... do I dare say yay for budget scrutiny?

❄️ First taste of winter. The radar shows where we’ve had a mix of rain, sleet and snow overnight.

⚠️ A few cm of snow falling across parts of north, east and mid Wales. A weakening feature as it moves southeastwards today.
