Idea: a season ticket that can be used by any nominated person, but only one person per day. Perfect for: families returning to work after a baby, where parents share the stay-at-home duties and commute on alternate days, never using the ticket at the same time.

If you’re considering a move to a new country, learning from the experiences of those who’ve done it already can do wonders for cutting through red tape and easing the transition from newbie to seasoned knowledgeable resident. My cousins Ros and Rich moved to Gran Canaria several years back, and they’ve just launched a website [...]

The recent demolition of Killay House left a lot of memories without an anchor. It was a familiar shape to the thousands of people who travel on Gower Road daily, and it had been so for over 120 years. Growing up in Heol Glasnant (where the houses are tall), and going to school in Hendrefoilan [...]

This film has almost certainly never been seen by most of the cast. It was taken during my fifth birthday party in late 1977 (a fact that I’ve deduced from comparing the guests and their clothes with higher quality photos that I have; photos that also contain a birthday cake with five countable candles).

Thirty one years ago, my grandfather, thought it might be interesting to fix his cine camera to the outside of his car, and go for a drive from his home in Wimmerfield Crescent, down to Sketty and back.

Wimmerfield Crescent is a residential street located in Killay, Swansea. It feeds three small residential cul-de-sac roads, one of which is called Heol Glasnant where I used to live. Heol Glasnant has the unusual property (in Wales) of being flat, and the lack of throroughfare made it an ideal venue for street parties.

Having converted my Grandparents stash of cine film to a digital format earlier in the year I’ve at last found a few minutes to extract something of general interest (as opposed to the family-interest stuff), so here it is.

We just got a message from Ann, tipping us off about Rick Moeller’s new cycling blog. Anyone who’s met Rick will know that he’s not one to dwell on the irrelevant things in life unless there’s good humor [sic] to be had therein, so it should be an enjoyable as well as insightful periodical.

A couple of summers ago, Rich and I ventured to Poland for a holiday. Guide book in hand we had a marvellous time in Warsaw and although a clunky paperback is a lot to carry when out for the day, when in Poland it was essential if only for the handy phrases in the back!

Our first anniversary is one month and and one day away. We’re kind of excited about it, as it reminds us of our wedding day and the planning and preparation, and how excited we were this time last year. It’s also a time of reminiscing about our time together so far and looking forward to [...]

I’m delighted to welcome my Auntie Lynn to the WWW today. For a very long time now I’ve been suggesting that Lynn and the World Wide Web would be a very good match. Lynn is (primarily) an illustrator and author of childrens’ books, though she has done all kinds of other stuff including greetings cards [...]

My Grandparents took a lot of photos in their lifetime, and I think I’ve got most of them.

Exactly 30 years ago, today. Time flies!

This poem was written by my grandfather (Harry Breeze MBE DFC) for my Grandmother (Edna Doretta Breeze, nee Fearon) on the occasion of their 58th wedding anniversary.

On April 1st 1991 (during the easter vacation of my first year at University) I took my computer to my grandparents house with the intention of getting a digital audio recording. I captured several short conversations including this one of my grandfather, Harry Breeze, discussing his early career.
