It feels good to be going to the Eisteddfod today in Pontypridd with so much Welsh being spoken around me in this part of Wales, people swapping languages without thinking and with the Trafnidiaeth Cymru Trenau Transport for Wales Rail service being bilingual as usual. Year 2 of Welsh classes start for me next month!

Good to see a mosque at the eisteddfod this year & a Welsh Muslim service tomorrow. So important to strive to be inclusive, especially at the current time. Da iawn to my brilliant colleague Mariyah Zaman & Now In A Minute Media for making this happen. #equalwales #cohesivecommunities

I promised to share the work of Matthew Thomas, a student of @ColegyCymoedd , that was on display at the eisteddfod. The work merges the worlds of cinematic superheroes & environmental activism. Itās inspired by Marvel & Walesā Well being of Future Generations Act. Da iawn Matt!
