Cwmbran’s Owen Filer was 104 years, 11 months and 27 days old when I was lucky enough to chat to him for two hours. That was two days ago and he’s 105 on Saturday. The full video will take a few days to sort out. These are just the clips of the laughs between his stories :-)

🎥 Watch Cwmbran teenager Ieuan Jones chat about his first novel in this video :-)

@trottaround We’ve starting to rip out that feature- and keep it as a ‘lucky dip’ on future Saturdays when bored - so keeping ones that are within a couple of hours 🗺️:-)

@trottaround I get the i every day :-) and love the weekend paper. This was a nice surprise. Great work!

@robosbornewales @richardosman Just watched it. Top tip, thank you, Beautiful. That newsagent party at the end was something else.

🌧️ Good timing by me or what ? I think I stepped back with precision to avoid a soaking! @croesyafc are promoted back to the Ardal South East League from the Gwent Premier Division and as I was talking to Paul Brown, team manager, this happened 😂🍾

@torfaensport @CwmbranLife @Sport_CHS @CwmbranHigh @CwmbranHigh_PE Six or seven years ago my daughter was training with Gwent and she helped coach the younger girls
teams. My daughter was in awe of her. It fantastic to see her career and how she’s always done this to encourage young players :-)
