Steve, our blogging comrade over at Cymru66, has apparently been on ‘home turf‘ recently.
In addition to relaxing at such places as Hay-on-Wye, Penarth, St.Fagans and Cardiff Bay, he’s also taken part in a 10k race in Llanelli (Steve’s a running nut - a bit like me, but he seems to have more will power!).

Arwen, FW Moderator and FW Blog contributor, has started her own Welsh Language Blog: Adenydd Celtaidd.
An impressive feat considering that she’s not Welsh! She’s from California and already has an excellent command of our language - she puts me to shame.

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 […]
