Had a SM break, now back social butterflying around. At least three positive posts to any grumble. No politics.

Recycling - we all do it. Diligently. Then a small, plastic, removable linking part on your hoover breaks and Miele Spares insist you pay spend £71 P&P for a whole tube (not necessary) - elsewhere it's £30 for a load of parts. I don't want to add to waste @Miele_Press

Recycling - we all do it. Diligently. Then a small, plastic, removable part on your hoover breaks and you think that should be easy to replace. NO you have to throw half of your Miele hoover away - spend £71 P&P or £30 plus for a load of parts you don't need. Bah!

When you can’t even get down the road (Penterry Lane) to your house on a bike, your car is all scratched and tradesmen now refuse to risk their vans and work equipment.
Please sort this out @MonmouthshireCC this neglect is economically damaging and not encouraging for tourists.

Great news! The JustGiving page for my passion project St Mary's is now up. We'll be bidding for match-funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and others but the more we raise the better our chances.
More details on fb @lwvbpt £5 = a bag of lime mortar!

Last chance to see this view before it disappears under bracken…

There has been a data breach @PayByPhone @MonmouthshireCC where people using the Cornwall House carpark get scam ‘mum, lost my phone’ calls after using it. Am not the only one. Please investigate.

[Jo McCrum @jojomccrum]

@PayByPhone there may be a data breach with your Cornwall Rd payment point. A local shopkeeper told me of several customers receiving scam messages after parking there and using pay by (which was the only option left) and whilst I was talking to him I received one!

@vuecinemas I’ve bought 4 tickets as a guest for Bristol Cribbs for this afternoon 3.25 but they haven’t arrived, so I created account but still not in my tickets, and money had gone from bank. Please help as automated system goes in circles! 🙏

[Jo McCrum @jojomccrum]

@BloomandWild Just done that, ta. I’ve cut all the dead / brown and broken bits off and it’s perking up with water, but it’s a little smaller bunch than it’s meant to be! Will delete this stream in an hour in case the friend that sent them sees - I don’t want them to be disappointed

[Jo McCrum @jojomccrum]

Didn’t expect to encounter the best curries in St Agnes (we went back a few times, lol) that I’ve had since backpacking in Kerala in my twenties. Thanks @SunnySpiceStAg - please open a branch in Wales! Here’s my dosa on the beach 😻

[Jo McCrum @jojomccrum]

@greenhill_mr Thanks for the correction, yep that’s funnier

Imagine if you’re arrested - yes officer, I live on Stippy Stappy St.

Cheery daisies in Trevone’s evening sun. Erigeron glaucus ‘sea breeze’ in case you’re wondering

Just had lunch, couldn’t compete with the banquet laid on at the @MonmouthshireAA #TinternAbbey conference on Saturday. Excellent talks by @cadwwales. Left informed, entertained and well-fed. Couldn’t ask for more!

The fair folk and, um, 1 April is next week @monbeacon

Remember those @MonmouthshireCC ads encouraging us to shop local and support local businesses? Well seems they don’t set an example https://t.co/OhGqBz5xyB

[Jo McCrum @jojomccrum]

Tintern relies on tourist trade to get through the long winter. So when is the A466 closed for tree-cutting? The beginning of the peak season - Easter holidays 25-29 March. 🙄
Can tourists use the rd after the workmen knock off for the day? @MonmouthshireCC @visitwales

[Jo McCrum @jojomccrum]

Thanks @MonmouthshireCC for swiftly clearing the fly tipping in Buckle wood. But what about these potholes further up Penterry Lane? I registered them months ago and, from, 25-29 March A466 road closure this will be the main route from Tintern to St Arvans

[Jo McCrum @jojomccrum]

Flytippers are dumping their rubbish by the Buckle Wood sign 😞@MonmouthshireCC

@blinkcatfood my cat will only eat Blink, but the latest chicken and duck in my box is grey in parts and smells like a sewer. It has a bbe of 3/2025 Please DM me for address for replacement. I bought at Monmouth Waitrose last week.
