Jon Pountney @jonpountney1.bsky.social · 10/09/20269 years today I took this photo! I find that pretty outrageous. I took a trip to Barry Island to do some filming, but I soon gave up and had a wander. Pretty quickly the rain came in, and then the sunbeam, and I'm still shocked that I managed to be in the right place at the right time. 2577

Jon Pountney @jonpountney1.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Not posted so much because I've been so busy and asthma has been a real ballache, but what do you think of my little test for what a Wales at the Seaside booklet could look like? Playing with colour, text, texture etc. Will probably be ready in time for Christmas! 2243

Jon Pountney @jonpountney1.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I watched the first episode of Jonathan Meades' 'Abroad in Britain' last night, and thought pretty much straight away, why is the BBC no longer capable of making programming like this? It's 36 years old, but still whips along beautifully in its editing, music and 'Meades' 5363

Jon Pountney @jonpountney1.bsky.social · 27/08/2026An awful poster (Steptoe isn't in it) for a pretty good film, which in itself is an excellent coda for the fairytale nightmare gothic that Hammer excelled at 040
