⚠️ A wet start to meteorological winter. An AMBER warning in place across much of south, west and mid Wales, along with a widespread yellow warning. Further heavy rain brings a flood risk, with more than 100mm possible in places. ⚠️ #MeterologicalWinter

15 years ago (Friday 26 November 2010), I was caught in one of the strangest weather events Wales has ever seen — a sudden flash-freeze in #Llandrindod. In less than an hour the town disappeared: ❄️ 5–6 inches of snow ❄️ roads gridlocked ❄️ cars abandoned ❄️ the railway shut

So sad to say goodbye to another music legend. Farewell, Jimmy Cliff. If you’ve ever sung or danced to Many Rivers to Cross, The Harder They Come, You Can Get It If You Really Want, Wild World, Wonderful World, Beautiful People’… raise a glass to the reggae pioneer. #JimmyCliff

Chasing goals that change lives. That's exactly what Notre Dame soccer player Daniel Boateng is doing. Through his nonprofit, he is using soccer as a bridge to affordable education for kids in Ghana.

The Stone Roses were the soundtrack for my generation. The album we played on repeat. Stars of the greatest music magazine covers. Mani, you were taken too young. Thank you for the music. Your legend lives on. #Mani #StoneRoses

Terrible scenes in Monmouth. Homes and businesses underwater, roads cut off and serious flood damage, after the River Monnow burst its banks. Aerial shots of the town centre from Your Herefordshire (on Facebook). #StormClaudia #Flood

What are your favourite winter songs and do you have any childhood memories of winter? I will always remember the blizzard in February 1978. I was 10 years old at the time. It was one of the biggest snow storms of the century with big drifts cutting off towns and villages! 🌬️❄️

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of a dear friend of the show, Gilson Lavis. As a former member of Squeeze and long-standing drummer in Jools' Orchestra, we fondly remember him as one of the greats. Here we look back on just some of his best bits on the Hootenanny.

Some news stops you in your tracks. Unbelievably sad to hear the Squeeze legend, Gilson Lavis has died. For fans, Gilson will forever be the heartbeat of the band. A giant of a drummer in one of the greatest ever British groups. #RIP #GilsonLavis

Detoxing heavy metals is imperative for everyone due to the many sources of them in our environment. Dr. Clark's two supplement kit has cilantro, EDTA, Shilajit and more to detox heavy metals, and an accompanying mineral supplement to restore lost minerals from cleansing.

Fifty years on, still one of our greatest ever comedy characters. Can thoroughly recommend the Fawlty Towers live show. Fans get to take photos against set backdrops… having a go at playing her part. But there’ll only ever be one Sybil! #FawltyTowers #PrunellaScales
