Well that went by fast 😳

I’m not officially entering as I’m not in the UK, but it reminded me to go and order this book from Blackwell’s, who offer FREE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING! Which I learned about from a similar promo for Villager, and that was one of the most enjoyable books I’ve ever read.

When I first came to the US my Mum would send me bootleg cassette tapes of #TheArchers . These days I listen on an app while making dinner. It’s like a comfy pair of slippers. This is the perfect summation of why.

So after the game I can ride home on the ferry with my fish ‘n’ chips ferry 🤌

OMG! Might have to cut into the line to get one of these. IYKYK.

Here’s to Cymru! The nation’s language, traditions, culture, and the heritage that connects us. From dragons to daffodils, Wales’ story is told through the places we look after.

Welsh Cakes I feel that if I’m talking about Welsh Cakes, I should really introduce them first by their proper, Welsh name, Picau ar y maen, which simply means “cakes on the stone”, and the stone being the flat g...

As is only right and proper, Welsh Cakes are #RecipeOfTheDay, with thanks to Heulwen Williams who let me play with her granny’s recipe. Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 www.nigella.com/recipes/wels...

I love this book so much it’s one of only three that I brought with me when I moved to the US in 1999. Filled half the suitcase! Still have it.

2026 is our year! #Seattle #Mariners #tridentsup

Free delivery to the US is such a great deal…. ordered! Cannot wait to read this after reading the excerpt.

GAME 5 WALK OFF 😤Jorge Polanco sends Seattle to ALCS for first time in 24 years | ESPN MLB YouTube video by ESPN MLB

Unquestionably this. Absolute pandemonium after hours of high drama! Followed closely by the game 5 ALCS win with Cal’s tying run and the Suarez grand salami vs. Toronto a couple of weeks later. Honored to have been at both games. #tridentsup #mariners

Yes, I’m crying. And laughing. All the dogs were, of course, very good.

Is he humming The Archers theme tune? I do hope so!

Whoever designed these #Seahawks uniforms clearly got a job lot of lame at a going-out-of-business Joann’s sale. Still, crazy and great win.

Information from NWS Seattle:

In coordination with King County, we have issued a FLASH FLOOD WARNING for a levee breach in Tukwila WA near Todd, Blvd. Water is likely moving north towards I-405. In addition, an evacuation notice is now in effect from King County.

When I tell people that you can see a Roman amphitheater in #Chester, among many other #Roman things, they are always gobsmacked. It flies very under the radar as a great place to visit for history enthusiasts.

Sgt Pepper here tonight. We just watched the new version of the Anthology and MMT gets a lot of love. #beatles

Niche #Welsh humor. Love it!

Huzzah! Awesome news for #Mariners fans. Naylor is a great player for the team and belongs here. #tridentsup

Look at this stunningly beautiful piece. Such craftsmanship. It was found near where I grew up.

Mold is the name of the nearby town, in Welsh the town’s name is Yr Wyddgrug.

He is indeed. Cal was robbed. But the Mariners’ fans, and many others, know what a uniquely monster season he had. It was a joy and privilege to watch. I can only imagine it motivates him and the team to do it again - and more- next year. #tridentsup

As a #Mariners fan, I endorse this #Dodgers win. Insanely good World Series.

As a fan who got into baseball when I started watching the Cubs in 2016, I wholeheartedly endorse!

😂 The proper British pub is what I miss most living over here.

It’s such a great place to be a tourist. My ongoing mission is to send US visitors to the north… particularly the North West and North Wales 😊

My neighbor was just on a big family trip touring the #UK, with an itinerary focused on history and beautiful places. So I suggested a detour to see #Chester. As with many Americans it was not on their radar at all, and they loved it. Of course!

Thickly buttered bara brith is the best comfort snack.

And the Kraken won!

Proud of Whidbey Island for turning out like this.

Sadly I was too busy losing my mind and did not see where they went!
