Delighted to be featured in this cracking edition, a real variety of articles and perspectives on all aspects of Welsh life.

A rare commute but a lovely one, en-route to Narberth for a day with Pembrokeshire Association of Voluntary Services , chugging along the coast, seeing a few different Wales' in the space of an hour.

Huge thanks to the team at Waterstones Swansea for putting both editions of the wonderful new 'A Child's Christmas in Wales' in such a prominent spot at the front of the shop. Supporting your local artists and authors. And my Dad! Diolch!

Actually, being relieved at only losing 45-12 at home says it all, really. What a plummet we are on. I'm not convinced we've hit rock bottom yet, either. Credit to the players, didn't stop working but second best in every department. France away next! #WALvRSA

Doors closed 2.5 hours ago. Thanks ever so much to John Upton, illustrator of a beautiful new edition of A Child's Christmas in Wales (available in Welsh and English) for popping in. John has signed all of our stock!

Spotted in the Entertainer. It's probably fair enough with Wales, but a bit harsh on some of the Scottish boys #Lions2025 🦁

Losing bonus point 💥 Would've taken that earlier. What a fall we are on... #ITAvWAL

Ahh, the true spirit of Welsh rugby - objecting to planning permission.

Christmas is now officially approaching and my Dad's illustrated version of Dylan Thomas’ Child’s Christmas in Wales from Y Lolfa is available wherever you get your books, but in Swansea be sure to check Waterstones Swansea. Available in Welsh or English! Diolch!

Shortsighted, cruel and corrupt, the Y11 and WRU stitch up of the Ospreys has at least done something, uniting the Welsh rugby public. Never seen such agreement. Dont think this story is over. But very disappointed in the response from most former players. Where is the anger?

"Welsh rugby’s leadership has united Cardiff fans with Ospreys supporters against them. That alone should end any claim that this is being handled well. When rivals agree on who the problem is, the problem is obvious". Nathaniel Hale for Gwladrugby. gwladrugby.wordpress.com/2026/01/21/why…

Excellent article on the crisis in Welsh rugby below. A crisis which also highlights the paucity of journalism in Wales, among all our other issue. The Welsh problem - too many small people with limited skills clinging to a handful of roles and the insider status they bring.
