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!
Birds singing […]

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 […]

After a brilliant game - well brilliant in the second half anyway - icWales has printed a story with the results of a study that was done on today’s Ospreys/Blues game.
They report that a ‘team of sports scientists’ wanted to find out just how much energy was expended by the players on the pitch and […]

And here I thought he was being such a good boy. He seemed a changed man since becoming a Dad! He was right back on his game in top form and then he behaves like a juvenile delinquent on the train?
And my question for the night? If he didn’t do it, why […]

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 […]

I think my nose has become a faucet. I appear to have acquired a cold. Not too surprising considering that, of the 270 some odd people in my Medieval History lecture hall, probably 75% of them have been coughing their heads off through the hour-long class (an interesting topic by the way). […]

Now that I’ve been here a couple of weeks and gotten where I can find my way around, life couldn’t be better – well, with the exception of downtown Abertawe which I think will be torn up for road work for at least the next millennia…
You ask people: “How do I get there from […]

Since I’ve been here, everyone I meet mentions how brave I am for driving about on the “other” side of the road. Well, it’s not really so brave, as long as you pay attention and the other drivers don’t get too mad when you find yourself in the wrong lane and need to go […]

Well why not. Not a topic anyone likes to talk about, dying, but let’s face it, we all do it.
As it happens, Oystermouth Cemetery has made the final list for the 2007 Cemetery of the Year award. So what makes this one so special?
Probably not the fact that hoards of people have […]

In view of all the negativity surrounding the Welsh squad of late it’s lovely to see something positive going down on the Welsh rugby front.
James Hook has been awarded the Rugby Writers Association Player of the Season award. An award well deserved by a sensational player.
Llongyfarchiadau i ti, James! […]

In an effort to improve carrying capacity on South Walian trains, the lengthening of platforms at 42 stations got underway this week.
Starting in Pontypridd, the £13.2 million revamp has already caused problems for travelers with many left standing about Taffs Well station waiting to be bused into Cardiff. And we all know how I […]
