I drove my Hyundai ionic from Wales to Avignon, and back through the alps, didn't plan when to charge, I had 40% off ionity I always charged whenever I needed a break and found ionity every time, I never stopped unless I needed a break anyway. Really easy in France.

From a father's friend. The hills above Crickhowell are still burning. Smoke in the house again last night. There appears to be five major fires in Wales now. The same as the whole of France.

Claude Monet "San Giorgio Maggiore by Twilight" (1908) Oil on canvas | 65.2 x 92.4 cm. (25.7 in × 36.4 in). Amgueddfa Cymru — National Museum Wales, Cardiff #ArtSky #Monet
"San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk" (also known as Sunset in Venice), a famous Impressionist oil painting by Claude Monet. 

Creation Date: Painted in 1908 during Monet's sole visit to Venice.

Subject: The monastery-island of San Giorgio Maggiore silhouetted against a vibrant sunset sky, with its distinctive bell tower rising on the left. Faintly visible on the right are the distant domes of Santa Maria della Salute.

Style & Technique: This piece is a prime example of French Impressionism, utilizing short, distinct brushstrokes and a rich palette of yellows, oranges, blues, and purples to capture the fleeting, atmospheric effects of evening light reflecting off the Venetian lagoon.

Current Location: The primary version of this painting is permanently housed in the National Museum Cardiff in Wales, UK

Today I visited Fishguard in Wales, where I learnt about the history of Jemima Nicholas who, armed with a pitchfork, led a group of women to capture 12 invading French soldiers in 1797. She was awarded a lifetime pension. The event is commemorated in a fabulous tapestry. #welshhistory
