Bannau Brycheiniog: an old name for a new way to be
Makes me proud to be Welsh, and I’m not even Welsh!

A bunch of English people aren’t happy that some places in Wales and being renamed into Welsh names….you know in Wales. Some of these people are arguing with me about the history of my country, language and culture, and they have no idea what they’re talking about. The lack of Welsh history education is shocking, and not at the same time. But apparently they know better 🙄

Watching the fall out from Bannau Brycheiniog has been hilarious. I want this to happen to watch the Tories lose their minds I think I would achieve inner peace.

Yesterday morning’s coffee stop, on Cribyn….before the weather morphed into the Welsh weather I remember from days of old 😉 My enduring memory from the hewitt-bagging years between 99 and 03 were those first spits of rain every time I crossed the border near Monmouth 😎😆

Nice to see the Bannau Brycheiniog go back to their old name, the grand future plan seems big on idealistic goals and very small on how they'll be achieved. In particular the talk of bare, rugged uplands really ignores that this is an artificial landscape. It would be nice to see some plans to rewild the park in the report somewhere, but the plan makes them seem very dedicated to continuing the sheep desert landscape even though the economic benefits of sheep farming seem barely perceptible.
Sure, farming sheep on upland landscapes is a tradition. The world is full of traditions and they can't all be good. Sooner or later we have to ask who we're living for, our ancestors or our descendants.
