Excellent coverage for the launch of this year’s Poppy Appeal. You can tell it’s not the BBC: the reporter chap is wearing a tie. @GBNEWS @poppytonbridge @PoppyLegion @ArmyInWales @RoyalAirForce @RoyalNavy @christopherhope @BBCNews @DefenceAssoc @GarethBeerMS @TomTugendhat

Ragged Cardiganshire woods, on the last day of this year’s fishing season. Some sea-trout (& brown) in the river, but not as many as in years gone by. None caught, you’ll be pleased to know! @DerekTurner1964 @ItsYourWales @SavetheTeifi @EnvAgency @DwrCymru @TroutandSalmonJ
