Last week I was in a shop in Swansea and the nice ladies there said ‘Can you deliver a Love Spoon to Sam Smith from our friend Liam?’ Of course I said, and I did, and he loved it! #lovespoon #swansea #samsmith #abertawe #biggestweekend

In 1965 the Welsh village of Capel Celyn in Tryweryn valley was drowned to create a reservoir for Liverpool. A community destroyed, a village under water. Dad painted these words. And although he published 160 books, he said these might be his most important words.

1 in 3 children in Wales live in poverty.
Dignified and powerful statement from @theresa_may. I have seen at first hand throughout her time as PM her ongoing support and absolute commitment to a prosperous Wales - a true public servant.

I first played @the1975 @lorde @cleanbandit @bastilledan @disclosure and so many more on @BBCR1, but what’s nice about me is I’m modest, so I don’t bang on about all of that. #humble.

I am, surprisingly, 2 years sober now. I did Dry Jan, then carried on. You just don’t drink. I still go out, go to gigs, festivals, the pub, I just don’t drink the booze.

It’s been a blast presenting Mon-Weds nights on @BBCR1. And I’m looking forward to starting the @bbcintroducing show on Sunday nights in September. End of an era, and beginning of another.

Met someone from Wrexham this week, who added ‘not proper Wales’. Which is nonsense, and I’ve heard it before. About Cardiff, Newport, Aberystwyth, Bangor, Anglesey. No such thing as Welsh Wales. Or proper Wales. Just Wales. Warts and all.

If you're 16, you can vote in the Senedd elections in Wales in May. That's pretty cool. Pretty cool, but also, completely right.

No @BBCR1 Christmas party this year. Weirdest thing that happened to me; my first one, 1999. Fell asleep in the stairs of the club it was in (I was 18). Woke up to find @JamieTheakston above me, with a glass milk, to help me feel better again. If you’re reading, thank you Jamie.

It’s @grimmers last week on his 97-99FM BBC Radio 1 show. I’ve never met anyone who fills the room with their warmth, humour, observation and huge personality quite like Nick Grimshaw. The sweetest man; lots of love Nick x

Incredible really, as Wales really didn't want this. I've done presentations in my living room that look better than this. And that dragon is a shambles.

As with all graffiti, it has been defaced many times. Recently it was painted over with the word ELVIS by someone who presumably didn’t understand its cultural importance. 48 hours later, it’s back to how it should be. #CofiwchDryweryn #Diolch

In Wales, we don’t have enough train carriages. The trains are unfit for purpose. Old, cold, noisy trains that other parts of Europe left behind years ago. Late for work, appointments, life. It’s the pits. @tfwrail @WG_EconomyMin.

His love of people, music, Wales and life was so contagious. His radio shows were pure magic to listen to; funny, warm, human and hilarious, and musically the most diverse I’ve ever heard. Disco, pop, Welsh Hymns, Spanish hits, opera! Rest in peace Chris, a diolch am bopeth.

The great thing about working in radio is, very rarely will you meet a knob. You kind of have to be interested in people and humanity and life to work in radio, because that’s what keeps it going. (There are exceptions, I am aware).
