If you’re thinking about learning Welsh, I say do it! The Welsh speaking community has been so welcoming, beyond anything I could have imagined. And the Dysgu Cymraeg resources and tutors are fantastic. Four hours a week live from September to June for £50 earlybird is the best value around!

No, most rootstocks are dwarfing or semi-dwarfing. For commercial growing (or garden growing) you don’t want an apple tree ten metres high!

Interesting. I'd always assumed that grafting was because natural root stock wasn't vigourous enough. (A lot of Welsh apple varieties aren't grafted).

Someone's lived experience should be taken seriously and respected for its insight into what they've witnessed, what they've experienced, and how they've perceived it. That legitimacy does not, however, automatically extend to what they think should be done in light of those experiences.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

It's not even balance though. We have oodles of statistics, but they give it all 'could save money on insurance, might be safer'. Even 'causes longer journey times' is quantifiable, by looking at the Welsh statistics where most journeys are *up to* 2 minutes slower.

Does this mean that a British Asian born and brought up in Birmingham is also at home in Wales, but their White English neighbour is an immigrant here? Also, does my Ethnic Heritage (English mam, Welsh dad) mean I can never be English or Welsh?

People do have "legitimate concerns" about things like housing, rising cost of living, NHS waiting lists etc. That's absolutely fair. Despite political and media rhetoric, absolutely none of those concerns are solved by attacking asylum seekers and other migrants. 1/

Wi di gweld y stori hon sawl gwaith nawr, a'r elfen 'misoedd yn unig ar ôl etholiad' yn cael lle blaenllaw. Ond nage dyma oedd y bwriad o'r cychwyn cyntaf? Datrysiad dros dro oedd yr 'mash-ups' o etholaethau San Steffan, gan nag oedd amser i wneud job dechrau cyn yr etholiad.

Problem is, humans are rubbish at processing information. Even in normal life we have to filter out 90%+ of the information available to be able to operate. So the more information you get, the more you can (have to) cherry pick what fits your needs. More info = worse decisions.
