Pride seems the wrong sort of feeling to have about a history which, barring the very recent past, you couldn’t have influenced. Pride (or shame) is only relevant to how we deal today with the legacy of that history or the lessons we learn from it for the future. www.theguardian.com/society/arti...

Yeah, no need for kids to stop the running. Just requires a bit of organisation and communication about who wants to do what to make sure time is shared equitably.

Have you ever been to St Fagans Museum near Cardiff? They have a relocated medieval church in which they've recreated the medieval paintings. It's really quite something in person museum.wales/stfagans/bui...

Directions with a bite on the Pembrokeshire coastal path near Poppit Sands #FingerpostFriday

A finger post stands in scrub. On the shaft of the post a yellow sign had been added notifying users that this is an adder habitat.
