The outer South chapel in St Cuthbert's Wells has a handsome ceiling, uncovered in the 1950s. Blind traceried panels of extreme inventiveness & delicacy, with demi-angels above the wall plate.
Dated 1500-20. I'd like to see your pictures @portaspeciosa.bsky.social as my photos are v modest.
From a horror show v England to competing away in Ireland.
Taking the positives !

I know the metro isa bit of a financial black hole. (Good luck plaid with this one). Bit charging 75 quid for this “metro and us “ session is a bit rich!!

#FontsonFriday & was particularly satisfying to catch the font at St Cassians at Chaddesley Corbett in Worcestershire, as i'd been here years ago to see the font except the church was locked
as you'd expect from the Hereford school it has very striking imagery 😳

Saw a street brawl / bike jacking today. Masked youths fighting in the street at 2pm near central Cardiff. (Magic roundabout way)
I saw half the gang just before it kicked off masked up on their own bikes and thought somethings coming.
Sad to see. Fear for average youngsters
In an office in turkey right about now. “ oh ffs “
Im not averse to self determination for the Kurds but does feel like trump is winging this whole endeavour.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Wonder what Britains military expense has gone up daily by not even being part of it ?
We have been trumped once more !
I wish the football media had the bollocks to talk about as to why one of the clubs in England, who were charged with 115 offences 3 years ago, have not been charged yet rather than how long a poxy corner takes.
It's just 1 poll (for now) - but here's how it plays out in the Nowcast Model:
RFM: 227 (+222)
GRN: 135 (+131)
LDM: 92 (+20)
CON: 59 (-62)
SNP: 48 (+39)
LAB: 40 (-371)
PLC: 20 (+16)
Others: 10 (+5)
😂 complete re draft yesterday maybe!
Doesn’t matter what the spring statement says today.
Have said this for sometime. Much is no longer in the Uk government gift.
Britain is at the mercy of global trade winds in the21st c.
Good to hear Stephen Phipps of @MakeUK_ highlight how poor the apprentice levy is.
Did some work on it when it came in and clear how poor it was.
Apprentice starts now 45% down on when the levy was introduced to in trade apprentices !!
Awful policy on need of reform

I know it. Never had a line ?
Fair point well made. But okey was in a different game altogether with existing alignment preserved. Track etc. low having fruit that should be picked.
One of the key points rhun raised last night for wda 2.0 was acknowledging foreign investment won’t be what it was. But a focus on welsh firms who want to grow and keep ownership in wales. All really good. But also what labour do now. Or try to. Will plaid fair better. ?
Oil and gas going up a major bonus too
Love a bit of rail reopening and know this line but sometime wonder if local councillors need a bit of a head wobble in some of what they suggest. This won’t happen.

Fair play. Standing room
Only for @RhunapIorwerth talk and panel

Good to see 👍👍
Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:
"Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".
Nice
But a bit ominous too !!
I’m no conspiracy theorist but I can’t be alone in thinking russia was on its arse and taking out a massive global oil supplier while pushing oil and gas prices sky high benefits one nation fa more than anyone else. ??

Just posted this on linked in. As a welsh historian at heart I love that I have a link from what I do now all the way back to this iron producing Merthyr. More dowlais at the top of the hill but close enough !

Kuwait air defences mistakenly shot down three US F15 fighter jets flying in Iran-related operations, the US Central Command (Centcom) said.
All six aircrew ejected safely, have been safely recovered & are in stable condition.
Plus more updates:
The bridge has gone but the one in the background still there
No details sorry. Somebody else linked it to this site also but no date

This is Merthyr near the start of the Glamorgan canal a little way from cythrafa works. .
I don’t believe anything in this picture remains today. (Nothing foreground for sure)

I don’t recognise the castle so much , thought manobier, it but I think I have seen that stage at Chepstow castle ?
I am having doubts about the fifa peace prize 🤔
Right now UK is pretty much running the electrical grid on renewables and Nuclear.
