Our arrival in Llandudno was accompanied by the magnificent town band led by Clive Wooldendale (who managed to out dress the captain with his chainmail epaulets no less!) and Dawns i Bawb’s 400 strong fleet of school children from schools all over the borough. While the weather was unkind, the welcome on the prom was incredibly […]

The former are provided by the glorious Vetch […]
Here’s Thursday’s pick n mix: Take a peek into the more than slightly disturbing world of Mr & Mrs Clark, consider the Swansea that the Luftwaffe destroyed and Swansea corporation rebuilt and rejoin Swansea’s exciting present with a showcase from the Metropolitan University’s animation students.
