Clydach Gorge in Monmouthshire. A super blend of natural beauty and industrial history. Well worth a visit. Drop into the village of Gilwern for something to eat afterwards 👇

Really interesting read Martin Johnes - 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 continues to have a strained relationship with wealth creators that I have never understood & at times a myopic view of the world with many claims of being world class that don’t stack up. Most progressive places do better on both fronts

The Severn Estuary and the gateway to Monmouthshire and the CCRCityDeal Cardiff Capital Region is down there somewhere 😁

My first visit to the wonderful new Monmouthshire / Sir Fynwy Severn View Residential Home this week with Mary Ann Brocklesby and Cabinet Secretary Jayne Bryant Newport West . A truly stunning place for residents to live their best lives. I’ve never seen a better place than this. bit.ly/3MebL3i

It does look great Catherine. Turning an old disused railway line into an inclusive active travel route for the benefit of many. More to come. Great work Paul Sullivan MonLife Active

GCSE’s is a team sport. It’s about learners, families, schools & wider support networks coming together. It’s a big moment in young lives & thankfully, for most, today will be a good day. Where it’s not, those very same networks are still there. Fingers crossed for you all🤞

There are circa 2,000 listed properties in Monmouthshire. They are in all sorts of ownerships & condition.Often the Council is seen as a pain for preserving the county’s history. It was fascinating to run through them with the Heritage Team this week. They really know their stuff

It is phenomenal to have colleagues who are capable of designing and delivering accessible adventure days at our Outdoor Education Centre in Gilwern. Take a look at the short video. Adventure in the great outdoors is for everyone 👇

The flag of Ukraine has flown every day Monmouthshire / Sir Fynwy in Usk since the illegal invasion and war began. It will stay until the end.Our citizens have embraced hundreds of Ukrainian nationals as guests in our county until they can safely return home #Ukraine’sIndependenceDay 🇺🇦

So right Hannah Woodhouse - you can lose yourself here for hours. Add in the ancient beauty of Llanthoney Abbey and the hospitality of LlanthonyPrioryHotel and you just can’t go wrong. One of my favourite places in Monmouthshire - timeless

If any other part of public service was in this system wide ‘hole’ the noise would be riotous. The demand and expectation for fundamental action would be irresistible - I don’t hear it.

I am a massive fan of learning through challenge within the natural world. Having another 36 ‘Golds’ working through is brilliant Andrew Woolley - you continue to lead the way 👏👏

Congratulations to colleagues CaerphillyCBC and EAS on such a good Estyn report. In testing times, support for learners comes through very clearly 👏

Given the constraints within which Comisiwn Democratiaeth a Ffiniau Cymru Shereen Williams are working, as a resident in one and CEO of the other, I’ll take 12 😁👍

The wild horses of the Black Mountains and surrounding areas. Features of the landscape since Roman times. You will more often than not catch a glimpse when out walking in these parts of Visit Monmouthshire and Visit Powys

I was delighted to hear yesterday of the progress being made by The Princess of Wales The Prince and Princess of Wales - cancer requires many forms of bravery, being prepared to be public is one of them. It does help others 👏👏

Really excited to be welcoming Jenipher, a coffee grower from Mt Elgon in Uganda to talk to Monmouthshire / Sir Fynwy schools on Thursday about the difference #fairtrade makes. #bethechange #fairtradefortnight Overmonnow Primary School Osbaston Church in Wales School RogietPrimary

Congratulations to everyone that has played a part in this. It’s wonderful to see your efforts recognised in the very best way 👏👏 🌺

One of the best days of the year in Monmouthshire today - it’s the Usk Show - right up there with the biggest one day events in 🇬🇧 it has everything. The organising committee do an amazing job and the show-field is brilliant.Young or old, get along there today-you won’t regret it
