A busy busy event so we headed to one of our favourite bars Bacareto afterwards for some wine and cicchetti- worth checking out if you’re in the city!

Incredible scenes at Cardiff Bay today as thousands of people gather in protest outside the Senedd and dozens of tractors block roads.

A few weeks late but delighted to say that I have been nominated in the Feature Writer category at this year's Regional Press Awards. The recognition came as a huge surprise given I took a career break last year and was feeling slightly self-conscious about the work - or lack of - that I felt I had produced in 2023.

That being said, I am thrilled to see my investigation into Domestic Violence in Wales recognised. It is one of the pieces I am most proud of in my near 5-year career and would really appreciate you giving it a read. The crime is really becoming an epidemic across the UK and yet is rarely talked about or acknowledged openly.
