'Very funny' naked statue of Monty Python's Terry Jones unveiled (fun stuff/story) (UK) 25/Apr/2026

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 13:56:00 +0000

Here's a fun story of the day. A statue commemorating actor and writer Terry Jones has been unveiled in his birthplace. Jones, best known for his part in the British comedy troupe Monty Python, died in 2020 aged 77 from a rare form of dementia. His family backed a fundraising campaign to have him immortalised in bronze in Colwyn Bay, Conwy, as the nude organist, a recurring character played by Jones in Monty Python's Flying Circus. Jones' fellow Python, Sir Michael Palin, attended the unveiling and said the late star would find the tribute "very funny indeed", adding Jones was a "brilliant man in so many ways". Fellow Python Terry Gilliam also attended the unveiling of the statue on Saturday, which overlooked Colwyn Bay beach in north Wales. "Mike and I were here last year and we talked to the designer and we captured the real Terry," said Gilliam. "We've seen the work in progress and it's fantastic," he added. "We can all fondle his bum, even in death. Children are going to do it and it will be the shiny bit. "That was very important and we expanded that element when Michael and I were here." #terryjones #terryjonesstatue #funstuff #montypython

TREFRIW WALES ... throughout time

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 13:46:00 +0000

Trefriw (Welsh pronunciation: [trɛˈvrɪu]) is a village and community in Conwy County Borough, Wales. It lies on the river Crafnant a few miles south of the site of the Roman fort of Canovium, sited at Caerhun. At the last three censuses, the population of the community has been recorded as 842 in 1999, 915 in 2001, and 783 in 2011 (from a total of 368 households).. Trefriw lies on the edge of Snowdonia, on the B5106 road to the north-west of Llanrwst, and about 4½ miles north of Betws-y-Coed by road. It is located on the western slopes of the glaciated Conwy valley, below the ridge of Cefn Cyfarwydd, the village having been largely built in a semicircle at the point where the river Crafnant flows from its hanging valley to join the river Conwy. The river Crafnant still provides power for the woollen mill, and in the past provided power for a number of other industries based along its banks, such as a forge which provided quarry tools. The community includes the hamlet of Llanrhychwyn. Most of the village lies within the Snowdonia National Park, the boundary running down the main street of the village.

The Slaters Mural Ceramic The Abergele Restoration Project Part 1

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 13:41:00 +0000

Discover a piece of Abergele’s heritage brought back to life. On the old Slaters site on Market Street, a beautiful mural once sat embedded in the wall—an artwork created by local sculptor David Frith and commissioned by Ken Knowlson of Slaters. The mural celebrated the town’s transport history and everyday life, becoming a familiar landmark for generations. This video follows a new project to reconstruct and re‑imagine the original mural, preserving its legacy while expanding it with a modern creative theme. Blending heritage with contemporary design, the project aims to honour Abergele’s past while inspiring a new visual story for the future. Join us as we explore the mural’s origins, its significance to the community, and the exciting plans to bring it back in a fresh, meaningful way.
