Not needless to say, Wales was well represented at the Big Blockade on 1 October. It is, let's admit it, quite an effort to get up to Scotland and lock-on, superglue yourself to the tarmac, or sing your heart out all day.
Ray Davies was arrested and pictured in the newspapers before some of us got out of bed, as usual: “Four burly policemen grabbed hold of a leg and arm each and I was carted away.”
Phil Steele of Bangor and Ynys Môn Peace and Justice Group said: “The road was blocked with wheelchairs, drainpipes and bodies, festooned with incident tape and banners, model policemen, stilt walkers and drummers. A giant squirrel. The fabulously pink painted group were so sticky and pink they could not be moved for hours.” (Picture on p5 - Eds.)
Among the protestors once again, MEP Jill Evans said: “As Chair of CND Cymru, I congratulate all the many groups and individuals from Wales and beyond who have taken part in Faslane 365... isn't it wonderful that Scotland's First Minister states that he `shares the objective of removing nuclear weapons from Scotland's soil'!''
There's no doubt the blockade bolstered Alex Salmond's political resolve. So, a big “thank you” - diolch yn fawr iawn - to everyone who facilitated Faslane 365 and made Wales so welcome.
And, now that we've all had a bit of a break, what's next?
