There I was all set with my Friday night favs, fish & chips and a cold Guinness in hand. I’d been looking forward to kicking back after a rough week and enjoying the Scarlets/Glasgow game. After all, I’ve been a week without rygbi now and with the next Six Nations scheduled for next week, […]

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.
It’s a large area but fully accessible to people in wheelchairs. But be prepared to do some walking because there is a lot to see and […]

Our very own JammyJames has been working hard in the new Codi Canu2 competition as part of the new North Wales choir (Cor Y Gogledd) led by choirmasters Mari Pritchard and Geraint Roberts.

Well, the Ospreys lived up to their ability last night against Gloucester. And I must say, fatherhood seems to agree with Gavin Henson as I think he’s played better since his daughter was born than he has for a couple of years now. Well done Gavin!
(On a side note, whilst researching facts for this […]

Admittedly, I’m a foreigner in Wales myself and so I’m probably not in a position to criticise, but I’m also a die-hard Welsh rugby fan. To my mind there is no other nation with the calliper of players that consistently come out of Wales. And to be quite frank, with the next Six […]

The National Library of Wales has put Dylan Thomas’ passport online for anyone interested in the man and his travels. You may view it here. I took a quick look through it and it’s pretty neat to be able to see all the places he visited during his lifetime.

He’s on his way to the UK. Of late seen over China.

Earlier this year FW Moderator Arwen took the brave step of leaving her home and life in sunny California and moved to Swansea. Living ‘the dream’ in the slightly less sunny climate of South Wales she has begun her Welsh Language degree course. Her fame continues to spread throughout the educational and social […]
