the lady at the church was super cool, the bakery looked amazing, the old building was also cool.
there is no doubt that some areas are bad but there is no denying that this place is a proper community and full of history
Poor Ben his face was blue on the live! ❤😂

I watched a documentary on the Merthyr Matchstick a few months ago. He got knocked down in a fight and never woke up because of a condition he had, his skull was too thin so his brain was basically bouncing around in his skull and receiving trauma as he took blows. Great vlog, by the way!
Genuinely nice to see something online about this brilliant little town (one that I call home) that isn't taking a big 💩 on it, thanks guys
