A lot of people remembering where they were when 9/11 happened. I was on the phone desperately trying to get business for the company I worked for. As news broke, there was talk it was a light aircraft that had hit. Then we saw the second aircraft hit. I didn't make anymore calls that day.

Pentyrch and Mellingrifiths revisited
A failed attempt to walk the Pentyrch end of the railway and a fascinating look at some photos of the line and trying to identify where they were taken.

Probably one of my favourite places to eat my lunch, the remains of Penrhos Viaduct north of Caerphilly. Once a massive intersection of four lines, today it's a footpath.
