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and the Gower is enjoying huge amounts of regeneration at the moment, the old Morfa Stadiwm (where I use to train) has been replaced by the shiny Liberty Stadium, home to the Ospreys and The Swans.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 …

The highlights for Erin were the stripey floored room – a room in which …

For christmas I received a book voucher from my brother. I bought two books, one of which was Edinburgh for Under Fives.
This book is Fab (with a capital F!!). It’s basically a directory of Edinburgh written by parents for parents. It covers everything a mum (or dad) living in Edinburgh requires, from local attractions to eateries suitable for the littl’uns, nurseries and healthcare info. Jam-packed. We couldn’t wait to get started on the crux of the book, which is the attractions or ‘places to go’ …
