Welsh, but live in N Ireland.
My son and daughter -in-law hosted our Boxing Day which was a break from tradition as everyone usually comes to us. It was really lovely being spoilt and I have definitely trained my son well. Family is everything! 🥰🎄🧑🏻‍🎄

As you have a wider reach than me, please share Maya’s story. Here she is at a Peace Vigil in N Ireland. Maya and her Mum were refugees living with us for a year. We will never forget who started the war. She was 7 when Russia invaded and occupied her home in Eastern Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

Reasonable opinions Boris? That girls should do ‘MRS,’ degrees - go to uni to find a husband then stay at home. That black women in the Supreme Court are taking the place white men should have? That women and all other races are inferior to white men? Joking about Nancy Pelosi’s husband?

I recommend The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë. A lesser known Brontë novel. Victorian feminism!

East Germany, USSR and many more in that block were all communist states. Seeing as you like Wikipedia.

The coalition of the willing has the capacity; USA is spectacularly failing Ukraine so Europe needs to step up now more than ever. Russia is giving Kyiv a pounding every night and must be stopped! #slavaukraini 🇺🇦 💙💛

RIP Hugo. Hit by a car yesterday. Beyond devastated. The most lovely natured and affectionate wee man. I’m going to miss him so so much but so glad he was mine for the last couple of years. 🐈‍⬛ 💔

Google ‘Welsh woman,’ and the first thing that comes up is ‘detained by ice!’

In Auschwitz there is a punishment cell that the Nazis used very similar to this. Getting them to stand together without enough room was a torture method.

Meanwhile in the other place:
1. How’d he know they were immigrants?
2. Warm enough to sit round a pool in April in England bit not warm enough to turn heating off?
3. I’ve never actually seen anyone sit round a pool on loungers in UK hotels in April
4. How can you see them when walking past?
