One of our own on TV!!

Friday, January 25th, 2008

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.
As before, the series will culminate with a Welsh game in the Six Nations competition, Wales vs. France on March 15th. And, as […]

Stealing From Your Boss

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

Hmm, £34,000. Just think what you could do with that! Well, John Butterly from Flintshire spent a little more than that of his employer’s money to buy, among other things, TVs, clothes, audio equipment and a fridge freezer.
As an education officer for British Waterways, he’d been given a company credit card to by […]

Inflatable Sheep

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

The ever popular blow-up sheep has now ventured into the world of sport as they become jockeys in the Llandudno annual donkey derby.

Snowdon Summit Blog

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

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 […]

Ex-pats Will be Greeted This Year

Sunday, July 1st, 2007

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 […]

Something I wish I’d found!

Monday, May 7th, 2007

I imagine when the Charity worker in Bangor opened up a donated book to find not just a lithograph by Picasso, but a design by Matisse, it probably blew her away. I know it would me!
A mystery donor contributed the book, a copy of Le Ballet, ‘compiled’ in the 50’s. I’ll quote the […]
