Was he ever back in? This hasn’t been a stellar year for Gavin what with all the ingrown toenails and all, but I guess he’s down for the count now with an Achilles injury - not something to mess with. It’s a pity as he’s an excellent player and at such a young […]

If you’re like me then you’ve tried to carry a bottle of water with you whilst travelling and trying to keep hold of everything else: sunglasses, book, sweets, plane tickets, passport, bag, get-out-of-jail-free-card… I always have found that the bottle of water is probably the most difficult to carry but often the most important […]

A harrowing rescue was pulled off by the coastguard off the cliffs above Rhossili this past week when Jess, one sheep and a taxi driver suddenly found themselves with a beautiful ocean view from their less-than-desirable vantage point halfway down the cliff face.
Sounds like a good sheep joke, doesn’t it?
Syd Anderson from Tycoch, the dog’s […]

The ever popular blow-up sheep has now ventured into the world of sport as they become jockeys in the Llandudno annual donkey derby.
Unfortunately, this year insurers had refused to insure the event so the usual jockeys, local children, were unable to take part. The derby has been held for the past 39 years with […]

A firm in Port Talbot has found a way to deal with the tons of used tyres that heretofore have found their way into gardens, empty lots and the bottom of gullies. The company uses liquid nitrogen to freeze the rubber and then, when brittle, smashes them into tiny bits for reuse. […]

Over at The Distracted Housewife, Cath shares with us her love of cooking. Cath provides the recipes currently being ‘tested’ in her Aberystwyth kitchen and also photographs of the finished meals (no, not empty plates, the pre-eating photographs). Her latest posting gives us the recipe for sponge cakes.
Hmm, I think I’ll keep an eye […]

Well, as hard of an act as Dave’s Sheep Poo Paper is to follow……..
The Swansea Council has had a coup of sorts by acquiring sufficient funding to build a new trail to link up the village with a circular “green walk”. The green walk is about six miles long, meandering through parks and […]

What? Paper? Made of poo?
Paper made with the poo from sheep? Our national animal?!
Yes. That’s correct. Paper which is made of sheep poo. Creative Paper Wales, which is apparently the only craft paper mill in Wales, makes paper from the “super-fresh” poo generated by sheep from Snowdonia. After […]

Do you run a business in Wales? Do you run a business which would interest people in Wales? What about a website? Do you have a Welsh website?
If the answer is ‘yes’, then why don’t you consider advertising on ForumWales - The Welsh Forum. If you already have a 468×60 pixel […]

The beauty of a site like YouTube is that you can find some true gems (amongst all the rubbish). Take a look, for example, at the video below of the Mumbles Train compliled and posted by YouTube user wildben. Apparently, back in 1807, the first railroad car was pulled between Swansea and Mumbles.

Your long journey finally reaches it end. The miles of rugged Welsh hillside now stretch behind you. The climb up Snowdon has been a long and arduous one. But it’s time to jump of the train and grab a cup of tea. (Not sure why people insist on still walking up!) But […]
