Why stop with blooms when you can have blooms AND music! Check out the Third annual Mostly Jazz and Blues Festival over the May Bank Holiday weekend.
I’m a bit late in reporting this, but there’s still plenty of time to see world-class bands, take in some really good music and […]

In my ongoing love affair with Swansea, tonight I’ll introduce you to the annual Clyne in Bloom event at Clyne Gardens in Blackpill. The gardens are in fine form with azaleas and rhododendrons stealing the show in an especially nice display this year.
With over 2,000 different types of plants to view there’s plenty […]

Continuing along on the revitialization effort, Swansea Council is taking proposals for improving the Bae Abertawe shore front to the public for a six week comment period. The Council agreed Monday past to use the Swansea Bay Strategy as a basis for gathering input surrounding the future of the seafront from Mumbles to Swansea city […]

Looking more like slip and slide playtime, the first half slogged along with little action by either team. Heavy rain and slick surfaces made the floor just as hard to hold on to as the ball, and the scores put on the board by both sides were penalty kicks.
Halftime sent a couple of […]

I’m delighted to report that scrum-half Justin Marshall has decided to remain with the Ospreys. Signing an extension on his contract, he said, “The team treat me well, I’m managed well. The Ospreys are fantastic.”.

The powers-that-be in Swansea are ready to begin the City Centre Core Retail Area remodel, so be prepared to deal with some inconvenience as they repave streets throughout the city centre.

The city has […]

I can’t tell you what a thrill it is to ride the bus from Swansea to Cardiff after waiting for an hour an a half for the train that never left because the signal broke between Abertawe and Caerdydd. In fact, I don’t even want to remember the bus ride from Swansea to Cardiff […]
