Alice Baatz and Steph Clutterbuck took two titles each for the hosts, as big crowds alongside the barrage lock to Mermaid Quay course cheered on home crews in the annual Home Countries ‘Battle of the Blades’ Regatta. And racing in testing crosswind conditions that made for choppy water, Welsh crews rewarded them with victories in…

1. Where better to be on a match day There’s nothing quite like watching Wales play in the Millennium Stadium on a match day. The centre of Cardiff turns into a sea of red as the Welsh fans assemble in their thousands.

We recently had the pleasure of visiting Hollywood Bowl in Cardiff Bay with our two children for a fun-filled afternoon of ten pin bowling followed by food. This was the first time for the children to play ten pin bowling, whilst it had been a fair few years since my last game – that was the excuse I kept giving the children anyway as I proceeded to score less than them! On arrival, we were greeted by a friendly and…
