Big announcement Just over 9 months ago I left WalesOnline to start this newsletter looking in depth at Welsh politics and Welsh issues. The response to this has exceeded my wildest dreams and I have a really exciting announcement - an Investigative Journalism Fund. [Thread]

According to @benaitken85, profitable and fulfilling travel can be sought in the places none of us would think twice about. Based on his travel in Sh*tty Breaks, read Ben's feature in the @BigIssue about the joy he found in the unsung cities in the UK. bigissue.com/life/britain-h…

With so many amazing writers coming to the litfest this year in August, one has to take some time to decompress. Which beautiful Pembrokeshire beach is this?

Getting ready for another busy day #WFH for the litfest. Contemplating the #Cleddau vs #ColinThubron's #Amur River. I wonder what he'll make of our river when he comes to the litfest in #Pembrokeshire on 8 August. llangwmlitfest.co.uk/programme2 #beattheheat #coolCymru
