Welsh lesson for youngsters being as its not taught in school. Not sure why, its part of Welsh History. Perhaps @Plaid_Cymru can change this.

[A Way With Words Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @aledgwynj]

Owain Glyndwr Series. Number 10.

An appeal to Welsh history and the Welsh imagination.

The English King Henry V1 dismissed him as a "barefoot rascal".

Little did he know of his royal pedigree.

But you can be sure Glyndwr knew all about this

pedigree and his royal bloodline

through the Houses of Gwynedd, Powys and Deheubarth.

As this iconic image of him seated on a throne in 1404 makes perfectly clear.

With his use of the Latin term "Princeps Wallie"

and his Latin Great Seal

Owynus Dei Gratia Princeps Wallie

Owain, by the Grace of God, Prince of Wales.

It was a strategic declaration of restoration not revolt.

As it was referencing the Welsh past and another

legendary Welsh Leader, Owain Gwynedd.

Who had termed himself "Walliarum Princeps" in correspondence with the French King Louis V11

in claiming overlordship of the whole of Wales not just Gwynedd.

Two centuries previous to this.

Glyndwr was effectively saying here:

"I'm not your usual rebel

"I'm merely restoring what has always been true in Wales"

At the high point of his liberation mission( 1404-08)

Glyndwr held two parliaments in Machynlleth and Harlech

attended by royal envoys from France, Scotland and Castile.

And in perhaps his boldest political move of all, established an alliance with Charles V1 of France

which led to actual military help from France at one point.

But more about that in another post!

Valencia or Paris has wonderful architecture! Cardiff needs the same.

[Welsh Cladiators @WelshCladiators]

@CarlHanbury @AgitChevis Indeed, A perfect symbol of @cardiffcouncil’s lack of civic ambition & architectural & aesthetic deficit. Bland, bland & bland. Compare it to many Belgium, Holland, France & Spain public spaces?!?!? @CardiffTimes @aCapitalRegion @cardiff_people

[Cardiff Times @CardiffTimes]

Well well well!

Bravo Michael Sheen for once again standing up for Wales!

[Plaid Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @Plaid_Cymru]

‘Buried with Michael Sheen’ exposed the shocking legacy of industrial pollution still being suffered by Welsh communities.

It is scandalous that polluting corporations like Monsanto can leave people to live with the consequences - and expect communities to pick up the bill.

Plaid Cymru will stand up for those affected and work to ensure those responsible are held to account. Polluters must pay.

[Cardiff Times @CardiffTimes]

Will never forget watching this horrific moment in 2001. Visited Ground Zero in 2002. The silence spoke volumes. We won’t forget 9/11. Thinking of anyone who lost loved ones. And praise to all who risked their lives to save others.

[Cardiff Times @CardiffTimes]

Get behind this amazing charity.

Give children and their family a memory they will never forget.

[Ieuan The Lion Memorial Fund @Ieuanthelion]

We live in a GREEDY world. More needs to be done for people who need help.

When LEADERS include EVERYONE we can achieve great things.

[Cardiff Times @CardiffTimes]

Starstruck spotting Rev. Jesse Jackson in Chicago back in 2012.

He advocated to end homelessness and campaigned for voters rights. He supported and stood up for the voiceless.

A true advocate for diplomacy and civil rights.

RIP Jesse Jackson

Yes boy racers are a concern. When a young driver tries to intimate a dad for asking him to slow down whilst his children are playing it is not on. Another person had to collaborate to calm the driver down.

Why? He was at fault.

This brings onto another subject.

20mph was enforced for safety yet drivers are overtaking on the inside and outside and still speeding more the 30mph.

These are the drivers that need to be monitored and not safe drivers who would drive at 20 in areas before the 30mph was enforced. It really is ridiculous having to drive at 20mph on a clear open road with no visible human beings in sight. No vehicles blocking blind areas. Its congesting the roads.

[Welsh Cladiators @WelshCladiators]

Well done @swpolice Cardiff Bay team. 👍👍Please circulate to any Cardiff Bay residents fed up of boy racers speeding at night or other anti- social behaviour. Hope that developments will circulate to their residents. @commissionersw @cardiff_people @CardiffBayLife @CardiffTimes

Who knew Thornhill Crematorium has two chapels. We didn’t and almost attended the wrong funeral service.

Thank goodness we asked to see an order of service.

Cannot speak Welsh but attending a billingual service made us proud to be Welsh.

Here is the final song to end an inspiring service to honour a truly remarkable welsh lady, Eirwen Jones.

HMRC make it so hard to login, makes you wonder if they really want your money.

1. What is your UTR number. No idea….try to source this number but in order to do so you need to download an app and go through id checks.
2. Login using this qr code.
3. QR code not working.
4. Are you are veteran? Nope. Cannot undo this part.
5. You didn’t use this email last time you logged in.
6. We need more security.
7. No definately not a veteran.
8. What is your gateway ID.
9. What is your password.
10. When was the last time you paid tax and how much.

Gave up and just paid the damned thing after finding a letter. Lets hope the UTR number from the letter is correct.

More funding for Dementia research is a must.

We need a voluntary organisation set up in hospitals to help care specifically for dementia patients. We know they exist but hospitals need more help.

Some patients needed help with basic cleanliness care. These are basic needs to give people dignity on a ward.

One patient was still in the same clothing from the previous day and the smell of urine was awful.

Imagine this being your own family or even yourself in years to come.

This is not a third world country.

[Alzheimer's Research UK @AlzResearchUK]

For every family. Dementia Research needs to be made national priority. If you agree please share this post and help us make sure the message is heard.

The Welsh Government @WGClimateChange should encourage a scheme to repurpose old school uniforms.

We waste enough to fill a stadium!

Even if these uniforms are not used in the UK, they could be sent to schools in Africa.

[EU Environment @EU_ENV]

The ban on destruction of unsold clothes and shoes in Europe enters into force today!

Large companies across the EU cannot destroy unsold clothes, clothing accessories and footwear, while for medium-sized companies, the ban will apply as of 2030.

If we don’t protect our planet, we’re doomed.

All countries should care about the planet.

It should be a duty of care to the people they serve.

[United Nations @UN]

Nearly 200 countries have agreed to a historic "30 by 30" goal: protecting 30% of the world’s land and oceans by 2030.

The #GlobalGoals aim to conserve life on land and protect Earth’s biodiversity.

We’re all living in the same big fishbowl, sharing the same space, and the same hopes for a better future for generations to come. Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could all make a little more effort to get along, even when we do not see things in the same way?

People are right to feel angry when they are ignored or mistreated. The challenge is expressing that anger clearly without encouraging hatred towards others.
These attitudes can have a real knock-on effect; Have seen them spread among schoolchildren after political views about certain faith groups were shared. We should remember that children from many faiths and beliefs were born in this country. This is their home, and it always has been.

We are always going to have different views, different backgrounds, and different experiences that shape how we think. That does not have to be a bad thing. In fact, it can make life richer, broader, and more interesting if we are willing to listen properly instead of simply waiting for our turn to speak.

Respecting opposing views does not mean we have to abandon our own beliefs; it simply means recognising that other people may have arrived at their opinions honestly too. We could all benefit from accepting that we are not always right, that we do not have all the answers, and that a bit of humility can go a long way. It would also help to remember that all political parties, like all people, have some good points and some bad ones. None of them has a perfect monopoly on fairness.

Life would feel a lot calmer if we gave each other a little more patience, a little more time to listen, a little more grace, and a little more room to be human.

An unforgettable night at Palladino’s Jazz & Blues Bar, where the Kyle Eastwood Quintet delivered an intimate, atmospheric and uplifting performance filled with world-class musicianship, warmth and the timeless magic of live jazz.

Thank you to staff from the NHS

Yesterday family member went to A&E for urgent care. Would like to give huge praise to the GP for their advice, the staff member at St John’s Ambulance, the Paramedics and staff member on the major ward.

One conversation I wasn’t expecting related to resuscitation and having that conversation with family members. People with dementia can still laugh, talk, and live a full live even if it means they need looking after. They are still human.

Well done NHS staff.

[Cardiff Times @CardiffTimes]

Glad we are not the only ones with the same ethos.

Manners are free to teach.

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

Good manners is as important as good education. Be polite and kind to all.

Hi All and welcome to our July issue

In 2012, local residents Keith and Eirwen Jones contacted Cardiff Times. We became friends, and I visited their family home several times. Keith, who had Parkinson’s himself, and Eirwen were passionate supporters of @ParkinsonsUK and were keen to promote the charity whenever they could. After Keith sadly passed away, I stayed in touch with Eirwen. She was a strong supporter of local businesses and often championed them through her articles. Eirwen passed away peacefully in June. It is people like Eirwen and Keith who help bring communities together. Eirwen was a kind woman and exceptionally knowledgeable. She was like a grandparent you would want for your own. I shall miss her. I dedicate this issue to my dear friend Eirwen.

In this issue Natalie discovers a community club to bring stroke survivors together.

Carl speaks with Sir Vince Cable about his latest book, Eclipsing the West.

Vince is on cue with his latest funny observations.

Gareth covers ADHD Symptoms and how to manage them. For adults who are tired of being told to try harder, The Brain Gym offers something far more useful: try differently.

Ralph traces how Prince Naseem Hamed’s explosive victory over Steve Robinson at Cardiff Arms Park launched one of British boxing’s most memorable world-title reigns and Wyn navigates between radio broadcasts.

Enjoy reading
