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!

One of the perils of growing up on the West Coast of America is you tend to go stir crazy if you don’t go outside at least 27 times a day. So in spite of the gloom and cold today I found myself in a state of pacing and decided to go for a […]

But the UK I guess. I was sitting here this evening trying to think of what to write about when I heard the commentator on the evening world news talking about temperatures topping 100°F/38°C in Canada - some even hovering around the 111°F/44°C mark. And I’m here to tell you that is bloody […]

And I think that rather than rabbit on, I’ll just give you a chance to enjoy the same things I did this morning; the family snow photos everyone is posting on the web. Seems people all round Wales are having great fun building snowmen and taking lovely photos of friends, family and landscapes all […]

The night brought a blanket of beautiful snow to Wales and people woke up to the rare sight of fields of white. The largest snowfall was in South Wales where the accumulation was as much as a half a foot in some areas. Unfortunately the snow brought very cold temperatures with it making […]

The UK got its first sprinkling of snow this week with many areas affected.  In Wales we had our fair share and as A Simple Life of Luxury shows, it can make things look even nicer!

Causing wide-spread damage throughout the country, high winds once again blew across Wales with a vengence.  Damage was reported in Conwy, Cardiff and points in between.  80,000 homes and businesses lost power with Powys and South Wales taking the brunt of things (74 mph gusts in The Mumbles and Anglesey.  Train and road travel has […]

Wales, like most of the world is under the onslaught of lousy traveling weather over the holidays.  Unusually dense fog continues to affect air travel into/out of Cardiff and affect visibility on roadways.
Bad enough that flights are delayed and passengers stranded.  But you know the weather is horrid when they actually cancel a rugby match […]
