What happened to George Borrow, the author of Wild Wales, when he called in to the Grapes in Maentwrog? Have a look at my latest drone video to find out!

The are also Welsh and Breton languages versions in my feed.

Beth ddigwyddodd iโ€™r awdur Fictorianaidd George Borrow pan alwodd yntau yn y Grapes ym Maenrwrog? Gwyliwch y fideo drone diweddaraf a wnes i, a newch chi ddarganfod!

Maeโ€™na fersiynnau gwahanol ar y ffordd yn Saesneg ac yn Llydaweg!

Sounds like he supports Putinโ€™s brand of Fascism. If you donโ€™t want to see democracy, equality before the law and civil rights abolished and replaced by a Fascist dictatorship under a British Putin, best to vote for absolutely anyone but Reform UK!

Cwm Cynfal | What I would have said at the planning committee if I had got the chance YouTube video by Rory Francis

In January the National Park Authority was going to decide on a planning application that would have damaged one of Eryriโ€™s most iconic waterfalls. If they had discussed the application, I would have had a chance to say a few words. This is what I would have said.

Ym mis Ionawr roedd Parc Cenedlaethol Eryriโ€™n mynd i benderfynu cais cynllynio fyddai wedi niweidio un o raeadrau mwyaf eiconig Eryri. Petasen nhw wedi trafod y cais, fyddwn i wedi cael cyfle i ddweud gair. Dymaโ€™r hyn y byddwn i wedi ddweud.

Next year I intend to walk the Snowdonia Slate Trail, in stages. I intend to use the bus and my bike. Today, Kathy and I started. We drove to Bethesda, caught the bus to Bangor and then walked back. Itโ€™s a great trail and Iโ€™m really looking forward to the rest of it.

Y flwyddyn nesaf dwiโ€™n bwriadu cerdded Llwybr Llechi Eryri ddim mewn un tro ond mewn camau. Rwy'n bwriadu defnyddio'r bws aโ€™r beic i wneud hyn. Heddiw, naeth Kathy a fi ddechrau. Fe wnaethon ni yrru i Fethesda, dal y bws i Fangor ac yna cerdded yn รดl. Dwiโ€™n edrych ymlaen yn fawr at weddill y llwybr.

Hereโ€™s a video I made of the damage caused by the wildfire at Y Garnedd near Llyn Mair on 10 April. Many animals and birds must have been literally burnt alive. Many thanks to the Fire and Rescue Service for bringing it under control.

Britain, a trading nation, now has a vital choice to make about its priority trading partners:

- the EU, where agreements are made, kept, reciprocal, based on international norms, & enforced by a court

- the USA, where agreements are made, broken, changed & broken again at a whim, with no recourse

Putinโ€™s endorsement of Trumpโ€™s Greenland takeover reflects their vision of a new world order As US pivots toward territorial ambitions in the west, the Kremlinโ€™s support signals a deeper alignment in their challenge to global norms

Trump says the US needs Greenland to defend against Russia. It's a lie. Putin is actually supporting the US takeover of Greenland.
Trump has made a deal with Putin. "You illegally take Ukraine, and we'll illegally take Greenland." Join the dots.

No loving parent would ever write such a disgusting thing as this, and it speaks volumes.
