The first in a new series of short films from #Ceredigion. The first film explores the diversity of the West Wales landscape, from the Cambrian Mountains, through steep valleys to the dramatic coastlines of Cardigan Bay. @VisitCambMtns @VisitMidWales

@ifanmj @cymru_simon A lot of pamphlets in Llanilar - multiple from all parties apart from Reform. Elin Jones and Kerry Ferguson caught me outside the house while unloading the car on the first weekend. Eluned Morgan turned up at the office yesterday. I’ve only seen Plaid Signs in the usual places.

@JasperEllens The last one was a potato, so it’s a pretty low bar to improve on. I watched mine fly off into a cliff and drop in the sea. Hopeless.

@fwyalchen As a Somerset native, it was a rite of passage.

@fwyalchen I’m afraid I always fell in the unofficial numbers 🤫

@JonPountney1 @Becca3Artach It was electric - you could hear it clicking as you drove - which was handy because you’d notice the clicking stop and it gave you a 30 second warning to pull in and get the pin hammer.

@Becca3Artach @JonPountney1 I had a Minor as my first car. Learning to change the fuel pump was a necessity. I used to keep a spare in the boot. It was the Achilles heel. Sometimes a gentle tap with a pin hammer was enough to get it clicking again. Loved that car

@Becca3Artach @JonPountney1 I still have the trauma , 30 years later

@steffaniwdavies That looks like a perfect way to spend a day off 👍🏽

@rich_corless @LloydCymru 100% this. I’ll get shot for this, but - the Welsh language has found it’s home in the middle classes in Wales. Many of those that have benefited from a Welsh language education will have aspirations for universities and careers beyond these borders. Many will never return

@hazr198 Re establishing the Carmarthen to Aber line would be nice - but it makes absolutely no economic sense. It would be cheaper to run a fleet of electric mini buses along the route. Nobody wants new diesel trains running though SSSIs

[Scott Waby @ScottWaby]

@ifanmj We were there today as well. Such a lovely spot

[Scott Waby @ScottWaby]

@roof_topper @OsitaLV Agreed. Dynamic range and resolving power of the tele lenses is all I’d be looking for. An iterative improvement in low light performance would also be welcomed. More clean feed options would also be high on my list - 4k transmission would be nice.

@DonnaWarburton1 I feel the same way about Venice - if I want that kind of thing, I can just go to Las Vegas

Aberystwyth on a typical Monday night in April.

[Scott Waby @ScottWaby]

@JasperEllens @OsitaLV This looks like it might have some level of weather proofing

[Scott Waby @ScottWaby]

@BigBreakers @JonPountney1 It’s a thing

@hellohistoria Twitter is pretty much dead now. At this point, so much of the content is pushed to me, rather than accounts I actually follow, I only really stop by to remind myself oh how not to think.
