A dark green graphic describing four highlights from Sioned's week bilingually, with the words β€œAsked for support for Swansea M&S staff; Met the YMCA Neath team; Spoke about student loans; Met pupils from Birchgrove Primary School” in white writing with today's date next to it. Down the left hand side are four light green tick marks with each of the five points roughly aligned with these. The writing is in white. On the right are three photos showing: Sioned with the team from YMCA Neath, Sioned speaking to the Education Minister in the Senedd Siambr, Sioned meeting with pupils from Birchgrove Primary outside the Senedd. At the bottom is Sioned Williams name, region and the logos of Plaid Cymru and the Senedd.

I was born in a country once colonised by Spain. Everyone said Mexico would not survive as an independent state. And here we are, yma o hyd, 205 years after the independence was consummated. Not everything has been ideal, but we did survive as a nation and never looked back.

Dydd GΕ΅yl Dewi Hapus everyone! Here is possibly the most stereotypically Welsh photo I've ever taken.

Ilford HP5 Plus 400 ISO on my Olympus Trip 35, which is fast becoming my absolute favourite.

No, I understand where Cheryl is coming from on this one. I'm not sure how much work Plaid have put into their environmental offer, or even realised that it has dimensions wider than energy generation

Enjoy #StDavidsDay and act on his motto: do the small things.
We reflect on the small 4% of Wales that is peatland, thankful for your support in their protection and restoration. And other helpful β€˜small’ acts to avoid peat extraction, as with compost.

Screenshot from the "Welsh Outlook", 1921: "But London, with its opportunities and its prosperity, could not pluck from his heart the memory of the valley of contemplation. As he became one of London's rich citizens, he remembered that he was still a Welsh-man. One of the most charming glimpses we get of him is at performance of "Henry V." The braggart Pistol is eating the leek, and Myfyr, greatly excited is clapping his hands and proclaiming loudly, "That's right! That's right!"

The medieval and post medieval stone roof tile quarries on the west side of Corndon Hill, Powys. The lidar data shows the extent of working quite nicely and the earthworks of the quarry pits are well preserved and accessible on footpaths.

In honour of #StDavidsDay here are the wonderful Penbryn Spoons, which were found in 1829 beneath a heap of stones inside the Castell Nadolig hillfort, near Penbryn in Ceredigion, Wales. The pair of cast bronze β€˜spoons’ date to the Late Iron Age (c. 50 BCE–100 CE).

A poster shows a photo of a small brown hedgehog just beneath the blades of a strimmer. 
Text reads: Strimmer Warning. Every year many hedgehogs are seriously injured or killed by cutting machinery in the garden. Please check grass and hedges before using mowers, strimmers or hedge cutters. A hedgehog's natural defense is to roll into a ball rather than run. Their spines are no match for a strimmer.

Mae newid ar droed. Mae sefydliad San Steffan bellach yn gweld Plaid Cymru fel bygythiad.

When the Westminster establishment rolls out the tired old clichΓ©d attacks on Plaid Cymru as β€˜separatists’, I say: bring it on. We are doing something right.

The Mabinogion's Efnysien is an impulsive brat.
He mutilates animals, hurls his own nephew into a fire, and starts a devastating war between nations, and all out of petty spite.
Yet in a final act of conscience, he gives his own life to stop the ruin that he himself had wrought.
