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 […]

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.

And it’s snazzy too!
Claiming the new jerseys will “neutralise potential “tackling points”, reduce the risk of muscle injury and support the body in contact” Wales hopes the new shirts will boost their chances for the World Cup this year. From a female supporter standpoint I say the kit does a sensational job of […]

One of our members brought to light the fact that the National Botanic Gardens of Wales is in the running for the Best Environment Project! Why not give them your support as well. Heck, I’d vote for them just because they’re Welsh - it’s an added bonus that they have done such an […]

But the UK I guess. I was sitting here this evening trying to think of what to write about when I heard the commentator on the evening world news talking about temperatures topping 100°F/38°C in Canada - some even hovering around the 111°F/44°C mark. And I’m here to tell you that is bloody […]

Well, after last year’s fiasco of bad press and hurt feelings, organizers of this year’s Eisteddfod have apparently decided alienating all the ex-pats was not the best way to garner support. So, according to the editor of Yr Enfys, Welsh people living outside Wales will once again be part of the welcoming ceremonies of […]

The Swansea Council has been presented with some fantastic numbers and a not-so-hard-to-make decision. Swansea projects 300 more places will be needed for pupils at Welsh Medium Primary School level in the next few years. Apparently more and more people are deciding to educate their children through the medium of Welsh and numbers […]

Funny, my automatic form filler filled in that title for me. Guess it’s not the first time I’ve had this dilemma!
Actually this time round, it’s more a case of having too much material rather than not enough. The Swansea Leader came out today and it full of interesting and exciting stuff. Well, […]

Well, we’re getting close to the end of the public comment period on the revitalization of Swansea Bay (comments due by the end of June). You might recall I mentioned this plan in a previous article.
Moving into the consultation process will give us some exhibitions - that should help everyone visualize what’s in the […]

Now this I think is just terrific! Arts in Action will be sponsoring an exhibition of art at Swansea’s Guildhall in June and July. The exhibition will include art from young pupils in Swansea and Neath Port Talbot as well as artists and designers in their final year of study at Swansea Institute […]

Isn’t that the wrong country? (Although it did prove a nifty way to gain independence from England.)
Well yes, but it’s not quite the same thing. Swansea is holding their second annual “Independents Day” on the 4th of July and I doubt you’ll see many participants tossing tea in the bay; especially considering they’re […]
