Fabulous afternoon at the Newport Riverfront for Gwent Green Grid, speaking about reconnecting people with their local biodiversity, and then unveiling the incredible Bio-tapestry.

It was so lovely to catch up with Lord Kinnock at the House of Lords last night and reminisce about our past encounters, including alongside the then Prince Charles back when I was the lead singer of Night Stalker #LordingitattheLords

Spending the evening at a reception at the Peer’s Dining Hall at the House of Lords to thank friends and Alumni of #CardiffUniversity alongside VC Professor Wendy Larner and Chancellor Laura Trevelyan
Many thanks to fellow Alumni Lord Leslie Griffiths for sponsoring the event.

Happy #LunarNewYear to all and friends who are celebrating!

Thank you The Waterloo Foundation, always delighted to be invited to attend the annual Christmas dinner of like minded people working to make this world a better place to live. I was so impressed with the Christmas crackers this year. No plastic waste, just good jokes and crown.

Long shadows and beautiful sunsets on Daisy’s afternoon walk.

So I might be in the class room today, but that doesn’t mean we cannot learn through 3-D appreciation of specimens to complement the 2-D onscreen presentation and enhance our understanding of the subject being taught. #AdvancedAnatomy #neurodivergent #dyslexia @one-cardiffuni.bsky.social

Terribly saddened to hear that Jane Goodall has passed away. What a wonderful human being she was, and worked relentlessly for the wildlife she loved until her dying breath. #janegoodall

When the steaks are high, there is only one man to call on: the absolute unit that is Shane Rangi. This man has been like a brother to me over the weekend, and we ate together and shared stories every night. Thank you Shane, you made my convention.

I simply love hosting @TJThyne
He is funny, kind, and always gives a great interview. The man even plugged #BecomingDrJones , without request I should add, even taking the book on stage. An absolute legend! #Angel #Bones #GreysAnatomy #Kingofthelab @walescomiccon.bsky.social

It’s been a massive weekend of hosting for Wales Comic Con. I have seen lots of old friends, made some new ones and interviewed some legends along the way. #JenniferBeals #TheLWord #Flashdance #TheBookofBobaFett (Photo credit: Christopher Beckers)
