I've spent the last couple of days exploring the north of Wales. Stayed in Caernarfon at the Premier Inn by the Victoria Dock but also visited Harlech castle and beach, Beaumaris and it's castle and Llanddona beach on Anglesey as well as stopping at Conwy castle this morning. The 4 castles were pretty impressive though my legs wished the medieval builders have put lifts in!
The scenery was spectacular and i'm hoping too go back next year and explore a bit more of the area especially Snowdonia.
I'm uploaded some photos to an album if anyone is interested in having a look. Also have 4 videos linked in the tweet i'll link of the views from the top of the 4 castles.

The UK government have classed the Northern Powerhouse rail project as an England and Wales project despite no work happening in Wales. This means Wales loses up to £1 billion in Barnet consequence.

It's no wonder people abroad think that Wales is just another county of England.

The Tories used the Welsh to achieve their Brexit goals and then did what they always do, promote England at the expense of Wales. If us Welsh have not woken up to this yet, then there is no hope for the us as a nation or a people. We will forever remain under the yoke of England, begging for scraps that Westminster will throw at us.

The problem Wales will always have is that it's not an election battleground. It rarely ever decides the result of the UK general and isn't rebellious like Scotland in voting for a party like the SNP and potentially threaten the union. You also have to ask what price do the people of Wales put on the union with England? Are they happy for the most part to not be a priority for spending for the UK government.
