Morning @cerysmatthews.bsky.social We're joined today by my Galway Bay born Father-in-Law, which is very apt both for your Bloom's Day show, & Father's Day too. He's enjoying the show & looking forward to a Guinness with his Sunday dinner later.

Happy Father's Day, Dad. Our first one without you here, hope you're having a good one. Here you are as a young working man in Short Brothers shipyard in Sunderland.
