Llandrindod Wells Victorian week finale

Today's firework finale marked the end of the Llandrindod Wells Victorian festival which began a week ago in this small mid Wales town. The firework display was attended by about 2,000 people and although the basic displays were interesting, they appeared to keep the crowds quietly mesmarized for more. As an observer, it would have been more memorable to see some structure, perhaps fireworks dancing to music.

Aneurin Bevan with a bird on his shoulder

Aneurin Bevan, the main architect of the British health service stands in the center of Cardiff and continues to postumously carry the British health service on his shoulders. We can see now in 2013 that managers are carrying the same crap as they did in Bevans time.

Beauty in the heart of Wales - Elan Valley

The heart of Wales really does have great things to do and see and the spectacular sights around Elan Valley in Rhayadar, Powys is surely not an attraction to miss. There is a visitor center as you enter the 70 or so sq miles of beauty with an abundance of activities like horse riding and cycling. Campsites in the area are plentiful and clean. If you really want to take on the wildlife and the natural landscapes then you need a couple of days to do so although the site is also great for a picnic. If the weather permits then winter with snow covered valleys will take your breath away. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Sainsbury's child days out links with time out pornography posts

Sainsbury's as a household name surely check where they place advertising, if only to protect their reputation as a quality brand supermarket and family friendly store. It now appears that their cover advert on Time Out for July, as they advocate things to do for children, together with Time Out's own 'pull out' of things to do seems to ignore the dirty and sordid editorial of the magazine as they frequently write about sex, graphically displaying the male genital and giving reference to disgusting past times that even a seasoned prostitute would complain about.

It's absolutely disgraceful that a leading household family store like Sainsbury's in the UK would attach it's name to such material when the potential audience for the 'children's things to do' is under 13 years of age.

Think again Sainsbury's before you attach yourself to a magazine whose name could mark your own fate - Time Out - think again Time Out of the consequences of your actions and the damage you will do to young minds.
