A mesmerising read from a born storyteller. Beautiful, haunting and informative I this highly recommend. Not just a collection of ghost stories but an excellent evaluation of the hypocrisy of Museum heritage collections.

The author, Noah Angell, merges personal history with tradition superbly.

A beautiful piece about a little known Welsh hero. I urge yers to it read. And if possible to visit Llandovery and it’s Castell, on the mound of which, this haunting and moving statue stands. Diolch yn fawr @nathenamin.bsky.social . Bendigedig brawd.

On this day in 1401, Henry IV had a wine-loving Welsh landowner put to death in Llandovery. This is the story of how one brave man 'willingly preferred death to treachery’, for which he is commemorated today with a haunting statue. Available to read now. Link in bio.

The ECHR was Britain’s response to WW2 fascist regimes. With authoritarianism on the rise again, we’d be mad to give up the protections it provides. Tell your MP we won’t let that happen! actionstorm.org/petitions/pr...
