Much of Caerphilly castle had a dollop of bute cash thrown at it in restoration in Victorian years and gave us a lot of what we had today. Not a bad job and today we could better. Should we ?
Also the water defences were only restored in the 50s - that has to be a good thing ?

Had a little mooch around a soon To be lost part of Cardiff. 40 odd years old - huge embedded carbon. - it’s a poor decision all this for me. Buildings need to last and be appropriately placed. The arena leaves a lot to be desired.
Do love a good building site mind!!

Not sure what to make of this.
I like the idea of an easy walk round (I’ve carried my bike and it’s not an easy walk!)
but not sure this is it ?

One man show with supporting voices and missed the actors name but was fantastic. The energy he put in was immense.

Spent most of yesterday in H&S training at a big industrial plant. It really was excellent. They want to look after employees, no question.

Places that give a little extra with a tea or coffee get much praise and support from me . A biscuit or n this case a minstrel make all the difference.
