My nephew Imran is missing. Last seen in the Swansea valley area. Please if you recognise him and know where he is or where he might be or if he has been harmed or at risk of being harmed please ring South Wales Police on 999 or 101 . This is really important as he has some health issues.

Just so that nobody doubts my net prowess, I’d just like to show you the tiny collapsible travel net with which I just caught a swallow that had foolishly got itself stuck inside the barn-conversion holiday gîte.

Vicars Close, Wells is thought to be the oldest surviving, purely residential street with original buildings in Europe. Construction began in 1348! Despite the rain yesterday, it was a beautiful sight!
