Bay apartments

This is Penarth marina, part of the Bay re development area.

Happy New Year to you.

Cardiff weather

With all the variations that the weather can throw at you in Wales, its always good to check out the forecast....even when early morning shopping.

Cardiff Central station - deserted

No trains over Christmas, so no one around!

Caerphilly Festival of Lights

This was a  procession through the main streets of Caerphilly , with hundreds of children, samba bands,  a brass band too, and ending with a firework display in the castle.  It was very well supported and no doubt the children already excited by Christmas, would have been wound up that little bit more.

A Merry Christmas to you all.

Christmas Market stalls

Sorry not  one for vegetarians, but it was the layout that appealed to me.

Contrasting towers

The old and new styles of Oxford buildings which still keep to the dreaming spires theme.

Oxford - dreaming spires

In Oxford for a couple of days.

Little drummer boy

A friend emailed me this link and I think its amazing.  His name is Howard and he's 4 years old.  Watch his face when towards the end he spots his parents in the audience.
