Llanilid aka Valleywood

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

Although meant to be in use by 2004, the start of construction on Valleywood has been delayed due to a variety of environmental concerns surrounding animals and sewers. But it now looks like everybody has the green light for construction of the £300 film studio action set to be built on the old coal […]

From Wales to the US

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

We hear a lot in the Forum about people wanting to move to Wales, but there are some that move away, leaving our little country behind.
One such person is Natalie who moved to the US after meeting her husband-to-be on the Internet. Her blog will keep you up to date with her life out […]

New Historic Trail in Mumbles

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

Well, as hard of an act as Dave’s Sheep Poo Paper is to follow……..
The Swansea Council has had a coup of sorts by acquiring sufficient funding to build a new trail to link up the village with a circular “green walk”. The green walk is about six miles long, meandering through parks and […]

The Mumbles Train

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

The beauty of a site like YouTube is that you can find some true gems (amongst all the rubbish). Take a look, for example, at the video below of the Mumbles Train compliled and posted by YouTube user wildben. Apparently, back in 1807, the first railroad car was pulled between Swansea and Mumbles.

Vote for the National Botanical Gardens of Wales!

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

One of our members brought to light the fact that the National Botanic Gardens of Wales is in the running for the Best Environment Project! Why not give them your support as well. Heck, I’d vote for them just because they’re Welsh - it’s an added bonus that they have done such an […]

Ex-pats Will be Greeted This Year

Sunday, July 1st, 2007

Well, after last year’s fiasco of bad press and hurt feelings, organizers of this year’s Eisteddfod have apparently decided alienating all the ex-pats was not the best way to garner support. So, according to the editor of Yr Enfys, Welsh people living outside Wales will once again be part of the welcoming ceremonies of […]

Some Outstanding News!

Friday, June 29th, 2007

The Swansea Council has been presented with some fantastic numbers and a not-so-hard-to-make decision. Swansea projects 300 more places will be needed for pupils at Welsh Medium Primary School level in the next few years. Apparently more and more people are deciding to educate their children through the medium of Welsh and numbers […]

What to write about?

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

Funny, my automatic form filler filled in that title for me. Guess it’s not the first time I’ve had this dilemma!
Actually this time round, it’s more a case of having too much material rather than not enough. The Swansea Leader came out today and it full of interesting and exciting stuff. Well, […]

Arts in Action

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

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 […]
