Posted on Wed, 22 Sep 2021
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...

But if you do good to someone
Posted on Sat, 03 Apr 2021
But if you do good to someone not used to giving in return, you may encourage them to realise they could, should, and would benefit really by so doing, or doing so themselves to someone needy! Rhiannon (and who can tell what's wasted, ultimately...

Posted on Sat, 03 Oct 2020

Posted on Tue, 31 Mar 2020
