Be warned, it's 20mins long, but here is my full #radio #interview on #BCFM about being a #Quaker #writer and #travelling, with discussion of #LGBTQ+ issues for the #ShoutOut programme. Original recorded in Jan 26

Short #film about being on the #radio in #Bristol talking being a #Quaker, #religion & #travel. This isn't it, it's thoughts on the day! The show's on the #BCFM website and it's ShoutOut on Jan 8th at 8 p.m. (not the 11pm show). I'm 40mins in & inexplicably introduced as 'Dave'!

I've decided to confuse people who follow my #music and #poetry #videos by also uploading the #hiking videos. #November was so #wet that I decided to do a #video about #flooding rather than my usual #walk. Enjoy. Or don't.That's just the way it is.Oh there's kind of #thememusic!

I've been going through old #videos looking for #performances I might have forgotten-this is The Hot Singles of #Minehead from some time in summer (at #Talisman in #Swansea). I've added some geography in case the joke isn't obvious! #music #comedy #writing #openmic #wales #cymru

I am going to be #publishing a #book of #poetry next year and this is the kind of #poem that will be in it. Performed #live in #Swansea at the #Talisman #OpenMic night.

I've uploaded a #live version of the #ISawHerStandingThere variations, by #Lennon, #McCartney and #Bongos (#Dai). Recorded in #Swansea and with some great audience participation. See it before Apple Corps get wind of it and sue me! #wales #cymru #livemusic #writing #openmic

I know you all like a #poem occassionally and here is #poetry from the #poems&pints night in #LlanilltudFawr this #October. It's also my first attempt to use #AI for #subtitles. It's done pretty well! #writers #wales #llantwitmajor #cymru #limes

I've done another video - not a music one, not a books one, but this time one of the #hiking ones. Actually did this #hike over a month ago, but only just now uploaded. Come with me to #Llancarfan in the #Vale of #Glamorgan to see the #decorated #church #wales #cymru

This was #KateMosse in #Swansea last night talking about #writing, #publishing and #women in #literature. Inspiring and interesting.. though no mention of her famous career as a model? 😉

Little trip this morning to #Trealaw to join the only remaining #Quaker Meeting in the #Rhondda. There used to be more #Quakers but there has been a decline since the establishment of Rhondda Camera Club [must check, but the dates are right 😉]

I've decided to put my #hiking videos on #YouTube as well. Why not? Spread the love or, in this case, spread the short, sarcastic rant about people not looking after the #countryside.

This morning I have a #Quaker #sidequest in the suburbs of #Doncaster so I have come appropriately dressed (t-shirt from @josemonkey.com store)

Some more live #bongo action for you, here ag #Talisman #openmic in #Swansea last night. I do kind of feel like it needs a #caption. Bonus marks if anyone can guess what I am describing:)

If you missed the #booklaunch this weekend in #Cardiff, there will be another one in #Swansea on Aug 31st. Come along for readings, #thoughts and questions from a #Quaker #writer and #traveller - at the #MeetingHouse after Meeting on the Sunday. All welcome!

Apologies for a lack of updates, but I have been without internet at home for a week. Waiting for @talktalk and @openreach to sort it out :(

Back to our very occassional series on #signs, this time cautioning visitors about #wobbly #cobbles, a more common #problem than you might imagine. Spotted in #Tenby #Pembrokeshire #Wales #Cymru

I'm not really a #poet but being around #poets means that sometimes I am #inspired to #write. So here is a little #poem about #hayfever from the #TalismanOpenMic in #May

🚆 Llynedd, derbyniodd Cymru lai na thraean o'r cyllid rheilffyrdd a roddwyd i Lundain. Mae blynyddoedd o dangyllido gan lywodraethau olynol wedi gadael ein systemau trafnidiaeth ar ei hôl hi.

Rhaid ariannu rheilffyrdd Cymru yn deg ac yn gynaliadwy.
