Posted on Fri, 11 Mar 2022

Such tragedy brought home by your proximity. And so much of human jumping to believe hatred and misinformation, and easily hate those who are neighbours and should be understood a little. So much 'tit-for-tat-ing' too, and often again from...

I have been amazed at some of the river clean-ups that have happened over the last 50 years or so, eg with the demise of industrial pollution. I know of the vast change in the River Taff, since the mining ended, but also I think much other work...
