WELCOME
It’s been a funny old time hasn’t it? If the credit crunch hasn’t sent us into a pit of depression, then the threat of a swine flu pandemic did it’s best to bring us down. There’s something to be said for the Welsh stiff upper lip and the fact that we hunker down and work together to get through tougher times.
From my travels across the Vale, this definitely seems to be the case. They say that out of something bad, comes something good. Perhaps this is the good?
You’re probably looking at my photograph and thinking ‘why the headphones?’ We were lucky enough to fly to Hurst House on the Marsh, Laugharne recently, courtesy of Veritair (you can read all about that in our sister publication City Life).
Here at Vale Life we’ll do our best to lift those spirits with with interesting features on the people living and working in the area. In this issue, we take a trip to Porthcawl. More commonly known perhaps for funfairs and candy floss, Porthcawl has a lot going for it and, with the promise of a big regeneration programme, there are even better things on the horizon.
Now that the warmer weather’s finally here (hurrah!) we can head to the shops which are full of colourful clothes, shoes and bags, to adorn our bodies and paraphernalia for our homes and gardens. Let’s give the shops our support and spend what we can.
