Felt this earthquake last night. Epicentre was less than 20 miles from us. My first thought was that a nearby tree had fallen and hit the house - even went outside to check πŸ™

The British Geological Survey (BGS) said the 3.7 magnitude quake happened at 23:59 GMT on Friday. The epicentre was just north of Brynmawr, Blaenau Gwent, and west of Crickhowell, Powys.

Impressed. Surprised that I hadn’t come across this film before - released in 2007 but for me a random find on Netflix.

Good, old-fashioned (in a good sense) horror/psychological thriller with a great performance from John Cusack. The type of film I used to seek out - genuinely creepy and surprising.

St Elvan's Church, Aberdare

Visited the recently renovated St Elvan’s Church this morning. Very impressive, with the benefit of now having an good in-house coffee shop (just visible off to the right hand side in the first picture) serving very good coffee β˜•

Founded in 1852 and located in the heart of the town of Aberdare, in the picturesque Cynon Valley, St Elvan’s has recently undergone an extensive Β£2 million renovation, and has now reopened as a vibrant new space featuring concert and conference facilities, an exhibition gallery, meeting rooms, heritage tours, our in-house coffee shop “Spires” and of course as a continued active place of worship.
