Palm Sunday bimble on the Black Mountains
Palm Sunday is known as The Flowers Sunday in Wales – Sul y Blodau (Phonetically – Seal urh blodye) – and it is a big thing. Tradionally it is the day we tend to loved ones graves and put flowers in rememberence and to honour them. Yesterday I did just that, honoured my grandparents, my […]
But I’m gonna be where the lights are shinin’ on me
Every now and again in life something occurs to remind you what living is all about. A little walk up Narberth High Street yesterday and I am blown away to see the poster for the book launch on the screens outside the Queens Hall. It is only a few weeks until the launch on September […]

Best Foot Forward?
I have always struggled with the term ‘best foot forward.’ I mean, what do you do if both your legs are whacked? Surely, in my case, the best term would be ‘on my last legs?’ I refuse to accept this. After all, these are only words, it is up to me what I do, or […]
