New Great Britain kit revealed

Stella McCartney Olympic clothing greeted with mixed response

 

The new Olympics kit for Team GB 2012 was revealed last night – with a distinct lack of Welsh colours.

The kit, designed by Stella McCartney, was launched yesterday at the Tower of London at an exclusive reveal to the media.

The new sports gear has been met with mixed emotions from the public due to its heavy use of blue and dark indigo. Critics have commented the kit looks overly Scottish as the colour red has even been omitted from the Union Jack motifs.

Cardiff councillor reveals his aquatic interests

Behind the grey facade of paperwork and meetings, one Cardiff councillor holds a secret. Exotic and unconventional, the tropical fish collection of Coun Gavin Cox stands in stark contrast to the dusty roads of Splott - yet for the man himself, the hobby reflects him rather well.

Three years after quitting his high-pressure job as a SWALEC sales rep Chris Fox-James is making his living in a far more creative way.

Three years after quitting his high-pressure job as a SWALEC sales rep Chris Fox-James is making his living in a far more creative way.

His income may be less steady but he couldn’t be happier. He is one of very few artists whose work is available in Cardiff to work with borosilicate glass. It is one of the toughest but most rewarding mediums an artist can use.

A childhood fascination with marbles led Chris to figure out a way of creating the intricate glass designs himself.

A mediumship evening in Cardiff

Teeming with busy, breathing individuals, Cardiff centre is known for its sense of life. So to attend a night there dedicated to the dead is an unusual experience.

Teeming with busy, breathing individuals, the centre of Cardiff is known for its sense of life. So to attend a night there dedicated to the dead is an unusual experience.

But as I enter the Central Library for a mediumship night on Friday, the mood is far from ghoulish. The sold-out crowd of 150 buzzes with curiosity.

Martin Harrison and Moya O’ Dyer, mediums from the Academy of Psychic and Spiritual Studies in Swansea, make a light-hearted start. Moya gently warns people to turn off phones so she can hear from the dead, not Orange.

The Snow Report

The council's strategy was unclear, grit bins were not sufficiently refilled, and the snow's dry and powdery texture made it difficult to clear, an independent Snow Report has revealed.

The report, carried out by a management and transport consultant, critiqued the council’s handling of the snow in December, and made recommendations for the future.

The report, written by Brian Smith, was published on Friday, and examined both the planning and the recovery period.
