Incredible honour to perform last night at Dylan Thomas’s birthplace on what would be his 110th birthday, with the gorgeous @LauraSheldon76. Such a lovely warm welcome and @BHHillustration was incredibly engaging- her images are honestly mind blowing.
ALT Two white women are in front of drawn red curtains. One is standing, the other is sat down. There is a wooden floor and a sofa.
ALT 6 framed illustrations of Under milk wood hang on the deep red wall by the stairs.
ALT A woman in a red dress sits alongside an artist in a blue patterned coat. Between them is an illustration in pencil.

There are no longer any Tory MPs in Wales.
They had 11 in 2019.
Now a total Conservative wipeout.

Many Disabled people are denied the right to vote independently at polling stations.
Thank you @countrylivinguk

Pretty much every nature organisation, 350 of them, tens of thousands of scientists, conservationists and growers march through London to tell the UK the manifestos are woefully inadequate to protect nature and us. Unprecedented. @BBCNews … nothing 👀

Hope you can make it on this course for editing and revamping. All of my students who have taken Ty Newydd courses with me have gone on to magazine or collection publishing success. I can't take all the credit - they are great writers - but I do my best to send them on their way.
Join us for a replenishing and motivational week of poetry writing and editing with the multi-award-winning poets and joint poetry editors of @SerenBooks, Rhian Edwards and @ZoeBrigley.
Few spaces left!
