In 2005, First Cymru received 21 Plaxton Profile-bodied Volvo B7Rs (20354-74) with what proved to be troublesome wheelchair lifts fitted within their passenger entrances.
Seven (20357-63) were allocated to Swansea Ravenhill depot to upgrade "Shuttle" Service 100 (Swansea-Sarn-Cardiff), for which they received attractive vinyls and third party sponsored SuperRear adverts.
FirstGroup was keen to bring the Greyhound brand to the United Kingdom. However, an attempt to compete against National Express between the South Coast and London failed, and the decision was taken in 2010 to transfer four of the surplus Greyhound-liveried Irizar PB-bodied Scania K114EB4s (23315-8) to First Cymru to replace four of the remaining Volvos used on the X10. The surplus Volvos all then found a new home in East Scotland.
This shot from May 2010 shows 20363 in Albert Row in Swansea when setting off for Cardiff, with one of the company's Plaxton Paragon-bodied Volvo B12Ms allocated to National Express work emerging from nearby Wellington Street, Swansea was without a Bus Station at the time - the Quadrant Bus Station closed in June 2009 and the City Bus Station opened in December 2010 - which led to all bus and coach services being dispersed to the City's streets.
Bananas are the staple starch of many tropical populations. Depending upon cultivar and ripeness, the flesh can vary in taste from starchy to sweet, and texture from firm to mushy. Both skin and inner part can be eaten raw or cooked. Bananas' flavor is due, amongst other chemicals, to isoamyl acetate which is one of the main constituents of banana oil.
During the ripening process, bananas produce a plant hormone called ethylene, which indirectly affects the flavor. Among other things, ethylene stimulates the formation of amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starch into sugar, influencing the taste of bananas. The greener, less ripe bananas contain higher levels of starch and, consequently, have a "starchier" taste. On the other hand, yellow bananas taste sweeter due to higher sugar concentrations. Furthermore, ethylene signals the production of pectinase, an enzyme which breaks down the pectin between the cells of the banana, causing the banana to soften as it ripens.
Bananas are eaten deep fried, baked in their skin in a split bamboo, or steamed in glutinous rice wrapped in a banana leaf. Bananas can be made into jam. Banana pancakes are popular amongst backpackers and other travelers in South Asia and Southeast Asia. This has elicited the expression Banana Pancake Trail for those places in Asia that cater to this group of travelers. Banana chips are a snack produced from sliced dehydrated or fried banana or plantain, which have a dark brown color and an intense banana taste. Dried bananas are also ground to make banana flour. Extracting juice is difficult, because when a banana is compressed, it simply turns to pulp. Bananas fried with batter is a popular dessert in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. A similar dish is known in the United States as banana fritters.
Plantains are used in various stews and curries or cooked, baked or mashed in much the same way as potatoes.
Seeded bananas (Musa balbisiana), the forerunner of the common domesticated banana, are sold in markets in Indonesia.
Banana hearts are used as a vegetable in South Asian and Southeast Asian cuisine, either raw or steamed with dips or cooked in soups and curries. The flavor resembles that of artichoke. As with artichokes, both the fleshy part of the bracts and the heart are edible. The tender core of the banana plant's trunk is also used in South Asian and Southeast Asian cuisine, and notably in the Burmese dish mohinga.
Banana leaves are large, flexible, and waterproof. They are often used as ecologically friendly disposable food containers or as "plates" in South Asia and several Southeast Asian countries. Especially in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu in every occasion the food must be served in a banana leaf and as a part of the food a banana is served. Steamed with dishes they impart a subtle sweet flavor. They often serve as a wrapping for grilling food. The leaves contain the juices, protects food from burning and adds a subtle flavor.

Higher Shelf Stones Summit, the third highest summit in the Peak District. A dark foreboding sky is passing by in the background on this very windy summit.
Too often in life, we are like planes on the ground. We live in fear, regret, and settle for a life in which there is no joy or purpose.
But when you find your calling, the sky's the limit.

Georgia Hillas ‘Aim Higher’ (2021)
Aim Higher invites everyone to shoot netballs into macrame hoops mounted at various heights ranging from achievable to unrealistic — uniting audiences from diverse demographics on a level playing field. In contrast to the historical inequalities for women in sporting and art domains, Aim Higher manifests a symbolic, ideological space of parity.

While the sunrise was only hitting the higher trees and the top of the mountains, the views in this valley were putting up a spellbinding show.
