Low cloud below the hill line. The pillar of the former Walnut Tree Viaduct at Taffs Well stands proud as a reminder of our industrial past in Wales.

Chasing pavements: Can we have our streets back, please? Stephen Price Towards the end of my dad’s life, his only option to get out and about and away from the confines of his small flat and the TV screen was through the (initially very reluctant) use of a ...

You don’t need to constantly buy the latest bike and you don’t need to pay the earth for it. Just maintain it. My four year old Β£750 road bike has done over 8,000 miles. I think I’ve had value for money and plenty of adventures.

Some graffiti has appeared on the Reform UK office in Caerphilly.

Following a by election last week which Reform lost someone has written β€œnow you can fuck off home”.
Reform had made immigration a key issue in by election.

That scene of the Welsh BBC correspondent being the only person interviewing Caerphilly's new Plaid AM while the rest of the media interviewed Reform's loser in the background was far too on the nose.

Cardiff council do have a reporting system on their app. However as as a user you have to distinguish what is the responsibility of the council or the police, which is not easy and deters people from reporting.

That’s a common sight at that location. It’s usually taxis.

A former railway line, now part of the National Cycle Network. At least 40 of the 53 miles I cycled were former railway lines. They would have made a difference in today’s world, but there was no foresight with the Beeching cuts. #Blackwood #wales.

It’s easier to ride on the road. There is something about a little traffic on this section of road now.
