And the City and County of Swansea is making it especially special for the couple being married in the registry office today. They’ve set up a weblink so everyone can enjoy the moment with them. Kind of a neat thing for those tying the knot today. You can try and have a […]

Everything about this place is wonderful. I had an opportunity to visit yesterday (7 February) and, in spite of less than toasty weather, found it fascinating.
