So I ask each weeping angel.
And each Adam and Steve.
And each lassie who comes sighing, please don't leave.
How are things over on Twitter...

This fine eve.

All is well, but beyond that, I seem to have lost the will to provide updates here. Still enjoy reading your own updates

We made a comedy show! THE ABERGELE FILES puts the D into cozy crime. If you want to start a detective agency, it turns out you need to do more than read a couple of Richard Osmans.

Starts tonight, 6.30 on BBC Radio Wales then on BBC Sounds

Very pleased and proud of Eldest Son, John, who has won the 2025 Wild Atlantic Words Short Story Competion, judged by none other than Eimear McBride. You can read his winning story here if you have a mind. Though it's perhaps not for the entirely faint-hearted.
