I was born, and spent my early childhood in Swansea (South Wales). On a recent visit I visited two places I’ve never been before.
Swansea, Mumbles and the Gower is enjoying huge amounts of regeneration at the moment, the old Morfa Stadiwm (where I use to train) has been replaced by the shiny Liberty Stadium, home to the Ospreys and The Swans. SA1 is a swanky new dockside development akin to our own Leith area in Edinburgh, and the leisure centre which was closed because of asbetos has been …

There’s a lot of chitter chatter around the blogosphere about thanksgiving, giving thanks to family, friends, god etc…
Well I’ve caught the bug and I wanted to highlight a group of women who have been raising money for good causes in their local area for twelve years. The Baywood Belles is a good old-fashioned concert party based in Swansea, they entertain by singing, dancing and doing sketches at nursing homes as well as holding full blown concerts to raise money for their specially chosen good causes.

Just off the top spot at number two is a doll’s car seat, what budding parent would be without one?
Down two at number three is a doctor’s set, best to keep your …

We’re fortunate to have family that own a caravan near Pitlochry. Tummel Valley is a beautiful place to visit..if you don’t mind rain, it does rain a lot, but the scenery is stunning and more than makes up for the poor weather. So, what is there to do in Pilochry for toddlers?
The Queens View
Stop at The Queen’s View for breathtaking views, homemade cakes and teas and a quaint gift shop in which to spend some pocket money.
Children’s Amusements
The Children’s Amusements are just off the main high street, parking is available …

Stop press! Children grow up.
