South Wales Classic Car Show, Pencoed

South Wales Classic Car show, PencoedToday we went to the South Wales Classic Car show in Pencoed.  It’s an annual event run by the SWCCC.  We were really surprised by how big an event this has become – it’s been running for over 20 years and this year had over 400 vehicles on display.  With the fantastic weather we had today it was a great day out.

Cardiff Bay Restaurants Website

People walking past restaurants in Cardiff Bay

I’ve been busy setting up my new Cardiff Bay Restaurants websitehttps://www.cardiff-bay-restaurants.wales/.

It’s still a work in progress but it’s well under way.  There’s a lot of interest on where to eat in Cardiff Bay. It was clear that a specific site was needed. There are lots of sites listing Cardiff Bay restaurants, but it’s obvious that not many (if any) are based on up-to-date personal experience.

I work in the Bay and eat out quite a bit, so a personal view of the best restaurants is quite easy to do.

Hope you find my new site useful.

BlueBell Valley

Just a reminder that the next few weeks are a good time to visit “BlueBell Valley” at Castle-upon-Alun near Ewenny.

Well worth a visit on a nice sunny day.

See my previous post from last year for more information.

Rest Bay, Porthcawl

Rest Bay PorthcawlWe went to Rest Bay in Porthcawl yesterday. It’s a great beach with lots of clear sand when the tide is out. There’s also a large new carpark nearby so access is easy by car.

It’s only a 10 or 15 minute walk from the centre of Porthcawl so well worth a visit if you are looking for a slightly quieter beach.
