Cardiff Coal Exchange, on our Top Ten Endangered Buildings list, is an enormously significant building - one of the most important in Wales.

Maybe 2025 is the year we start our own #business. I’d be interested in horror stories and other lessons learned from those that have survived building their own SME.

Yesterday was the first Boxing Day meet for the pup. She had an absolute blast. Hundreds of people came together; a real cross section of the community.

The number of homophobic comments that followed this post on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, is staggering but not surprising. It reminds me why I’ve signed up to @bsky.app

Reports coming in that a cargo aircraft, launched from the Arctic, is rapidly approaching British airspace. According to senior sources, the aircraft is likely to fly over every British city, town and village undetected. We understand that this has happened many times before. 🎅

Griff in @thetimes 'Good historic buildings should be at the heart of policy. You get the sense that Keir Starmer and Rayner have this idea that they need to outlaw nimbyism. Its actually because of a lot of nimbyism that London is such a successful place.' bit.ly/3BCWTKj #SaveLiverpoolStreetStation

It’s time for my annual search for this C16th miniature portrait of #ThomasCromwell, after #Holbein, stolen from Hever Castle in 2003. I’d love to see it returned to Hever. Have you seen it?
