Apologies for poor lighting/grainy quality.

I filmed this in my son's room and clearly, we stick him in the cellar where it's dark and windowless ......😉

As always, I do a video post and then think "Oh... why didn't I say..."

In this instance, I suppose the bit I should have added, is about keeping records that aren't digital as well as digital ones because we all know that they will be the first to disappear should it be *deemed necessary*.

Also, about the importance of passing down stories verbally to family members to preserve them. And about how holding our own events away from "official" places will become more necessary as time goes on.

Brilliant!! "You and me, we are the fabric of life!" Yes, see how creative you can be! Stick small posters on bus stops, loo doors, telegraph poles, petrol pumps pointing to your story eg http://defeatnwo.substack.com or whatever - then real ppl find you

Beautiful warm and sunny day. I’m going to run my current effort past my sister as I’m off to stay with her later today. (Escape!) It’s her story too. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Love this! ❤️ I question everything literally nowadays including anything I read from the past too. It’s our duty to ensure that our side of the story is being documented and represented. Let’s not let them change our history too! x

The ‘awake welsh women’ I like that❤️

Yes- I get that. It’s like your mind becomes a fresh sheet of paper and every else is chucked away.
