The weather has turned lovely and warm and there was just no way in the world I could stay indoors today. So I headed out for nearby Singleton Park to see what was going on in the gardens. And I was not disappointed - the floral display is just breathtaking!

I woke up to a lovely surprise this morning in the form of a dusting of snow on the hill behind my flat. Not a lot but just enough to make things pretty.

They’ve been threatening snow for a month or so now and up until this morning all we’d managed was a lot of […]

Browsing the Forum today, I found that FW Member vk4wot has started a new blog. Nipping across to take a nose around I was confronted by the spider shown here on the left (full size version).
Now, I don’t know about you but that’s not something I’d be particularly excited about finding […]

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 […]

I’m no bible thumping prude but I have to say, there’s something VERY wrong about this. It goes beyond religious belief. It’s just plain wrong. I know, I know, they say it will possibly lead to the cure for horrible diseases that at the moment are not curable. But honestly, will […]

I went for a drive today, it was a beautiful autumn day - crisp and sunny - perfect traveling weather. With Radio Cymru playing the Blues EDF Rygbi match (they didn’t win) I headed out toward Carmarthenshire with the intent to visit Llanelli. I never made it to Llanelli, ran out of […]

This morning was the second magnificent autumn morning in a row. Cold and crystal clear, I left early for school to make my 9:00 a.m. history class.
Once parked, my walking route takes me past a large field populated with ancient oaks and beautiful rolling, deep green lawns. The field slopes gently up to […]

Don’t you love rainy nights? I do. There’s something inherently romantic about them. I always want to dash home and cuddle up to someone I adore in the sanctuary of dryness, warmth and the cozy lights of our world. To snuggle with him in front of the TV, my head on his […]

Isn’t this a pretty little thing?

Aw, just look at that cute little face…..

How could anyone NOT like such a creature?
Well, here in the States we avoid them like the plague. And here’s why…..
There I was last night (or is it this morning) at 1:00 a.m. happily snapping bubbles in Dave’s bloody addictive bubble wrap […]

Take a look at the photo here. Is it from the film version of the Lord of the Rings? No, it’s not! It’s actually a family home which has been built in Pembrokeshire. After four months of hard work and around £3,000, the family had an environmentally friendly home in this […]

There are lots of ‘world’ clocks out and about on the Internet but here’s one with a difference. World Clock by Poodwaddle.com not only tells you the time but also gives you a full range of statistics about the world we live in.
As you watch the minutes and seconds pass on the standard timepiece, […]

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. […]
