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 […]

Until a few days ago I was blissfully ignorant of the laundry list of accusations against Mike Cuddy for some alleged crooked dealings:

Committing a criminal offence by installing his wife as a front for himself as director of Neath Rugby Limited;
Forging his wife’s signature on documents
Making secret profits from player deals;
Reaching an […]

What? Hang on… Four feet, surely five toes per feet?
No, okay, what? Cats usually have, and this is news to me, 18 toes: five on their front paws, four on the rear. But in Wales, or Felindre to be more exact, there’s a cat with 26 toes. (Cue the X-Files music)
Apparently, […]

Namely wildlife and the environment. Throw in Swansea as the icing on the cake and you know I’m in 7th Heaven!
This weekend (June 9) will give everyone in Swansea a chance to get expert advice on creating wildlife habitat from BBC Presenter Iolo Williams and a team of nature conservationists and wildlife experts.
The Swansea Council’s […]

Well I have to say I wish, more than anything, that I was in Abertawe now! The start of the Outdoor Shakespeare series of plays is next week, June 6th and 7th. They’re opening the season with one of my favorites, ‘Much Ado About Nothing’. Especially near and dear to my heart as […]

And I won’t tell you I’m not horridly jealous - because I am! Lucky Shana Sammons, a fellow Californian, has now earned her British citizenship after living in Wales for a few years. More power to her and I hope I’ll be standing in that spot one day very soon! Da Iawn […]

Having found myself unable to get the monopoly site to work, I found myself reading the BBC news alerts instead. Now, normally I try to avoid writing about depressing stuff - what’s the point, we all have our problems, why bring everybody down with depressing dissertations. But I have to say that whoever […]

Well, I’m still so chuffed over the Magner’s win I’m not sure I want to refocus my mind on anything else!
But life goes on and so does the competition for a spot on the Monopoly board - have you voted for Cardiff yet? No? Well, get your bottom in gear and visit http://www.monopoly.co.uk/vote.aspx. […]

Alright, lads - go for it! We’ve only to win over the Reivers tomorrow and Bob’s your uncle.
In spite of a few good players sidelined by injuries, the Gweilch pack is a good one for Saturday’s game:
Lee Byrne; Nikki Walker, Sonny Parker, James Hook, Shane Williams; Shaun Connor, Jason Spice; Duncan Jones […]

And a reminder - did you vote for your favorite Welsh city yet? I admit to switching from Swansea to Cardiff because Cardiff stands a good chance of making the board at this point. I’d encourage everyone to do the same as the other Welsh cities are well down in the pack. […]

Caiff Abertawe pont newydd yn mis Mehefen. Hwylbont arall yw hi, a bydd hi’n disodli’r hen Bont y Seidins. Bydd ffordd prif fws i ac o’r Parcio a Theithio Ffordd Fabian, a bydd hi’n dod yn rhan o’r lôn feicio Geltaidd.
Swansea will get a new bridge in June. It’s another sail bridge and […]
