For an utterly obsessive planner of trips, this was all a bit last minute, or rather, last second. Zero and I booked the flights a mere nine days ahead, and the B+B just four days ahead.

First call on arrival was Knock - the village, not the shrine...

Adam Price's Speech to Conference Conference, as we face a new decade in politics my mind turns to how, for me, this decade began.

Like Gwynfor all those years ago, though we were going by bus not by train, and they didn't name it...

Not a lot else to say at the moment (busy, busy, busy writing, but I should write in more detail on Machen at some point) apart from Arthur Machen is still an amazing read after all these years. The...
