A quick shout out to a genuinely fantastic #Cardiff #Caerdydd institution: Cardiff Cycle Workshop, based near Big Tesco in #Gabalfa.
Popped in there just now to collect a new-second-hand bike. My fifth (might be sixth) from there in c20 years. Affordable bikes, great service, friendly people. Love it. π²
A nice use of space that would otherwise be used to advertise shit we donβt need - instead, it has been repurposed to provide an altogether more wholesome message.
This is interesting. The suburb of #Cardiff / #Caerdydd in which I live (a place called #Gabalfa) apparently had a type of apple (βthe Gabalfva appleβ) named after it at the turn of the last century. The species is to be reintroduced, with trees being planted in the park round the corner. How very lovely and wholesome. π π

A rare species of apple that once grew in the grounds of the Bute family estate in Cardiff is to be reintroduced to the city for what is thought to be the first time in around 100 years.Fifty Gabalfa apple trees, recorded historically as βGabalva' apples, will be planted in Gabalfa Park and Maitland Park, as part of the Bute Park Community Orchard, and on school grounds, as part of Cardiff Council's βCoed Caerdydd βurban forest project.The last record of Gabalva apples in Cardiff's green spaces
This is nice. I saw the unlikely graffiti tag βBernardβ in my local park, but on closer inspection a clearly talented graffiti artist has used some wallspace to wish his grandfather a happy 100th birthday. How terribly wholesome.
