@emlynevan We were down there! Please can I share your photos on our RNLI WhatsApp group? It's nice to see the launch from a different angle

[Dr Rachel @WalesGoats]

@WelshTannery @wendyinswwales @Englishomestead Ooh I was just reading about cajeta. What recipe do you use?

[Dr Rachel @WalesGoats]

@wendyinswwales @Englishomestead I had a go for fun, but no way do they produce 2 pints. Super rich too.

[Dr Rachel @WalesGoats]

@WelshTannery For Moylegrove coffee morning tomorrow!

[Dr Rachel @WalesGoats]

@WelshTannery That looks EPIC. Totally trying this tomorrow. Thank you!

@TyLlygoden Jam-coloured cellophane is now how I'm always going to think of it!

@JPBWFarm So while responsibility for that untreated release would be placed at the door of the water company, situation complex because they can't control what people put in our drains. (Was invited on a Dwr Cymru tour of treatment plant last week)

[Dr Rachel @WalesGoats]

@JPBWFarm Bacteria break down waste at most water treatment plants, if something enters the system that is poison to them, they die and water passes through untreated until water company can fix issue (or else waste would back up in pipes). Main things that kill them are milk and slurry.

[Dr Rachel @WalesGoats]

@reviewwales @pengraiggoch Also, at the water treatment plant end, bacteria break down our waste and if something enters the system that is poison to them, they will die and waste will pass untreated. What kills them is mostly milk and slurry but also things like beer (issue from manufacturers in pandemic)

[Dr Rachel @WalesGoats]

@reviewwales @pengraiggoch Not defending, but such a lot of misunderstanding about this. Combined sewage overflows open automatically to stop waste backing up into your house toilet, when there is a blockage in the pipe (wet wipes, fat) or too much water tp pass through the pipes (heavy rain)

@TyLlygoden Do you own a lipstick? Is this secret aspirational doll Sue? (obviously I totally love these)

[Dr Rachel @WalesGoats]

@bielleogy @SueArcher6 a either marvellous science thread right here

[Dr Rachel @WalesGoats]

@gill__lewis @WstonesCarm @swanseastones @WaterstonesCDF @DFB_storyhouse This is hilarious! They do look like tasty roadkill banded armadillos though

[Dr Rachel @WalesGoats]

@RNLI Happy outcome- all fine!

[Dr Rachel @WalesGoats]

Our first shout with RNLI Cardigan! Massive adrenaline rush when the pagers went off, and two pagers in the house is LOUD!

[Dr Rachel @WalesGoats]

@Maker_of_Things Yes! Since November! We're both qualified as shore crew and now training to be boat crew.

[Dr Rachel @WalesGoats]

@howemill @KintalineFarm OK fab, have found their website. I see someone else said current reading due to frosts, should we repeat the analysis throughout the year? Fascinating.

[Dr Rachel @WalesGoats]

@howemill @KintalineFarm Interesting! And who tests it?

[Dr Rachel @WalesGoats]

My darling Peggy! She knows her name and responds with generous licky ear kisses (she loves ears)
