For an utterly obsessive planner of trips, this was all a bit last minute, or rather, last second. Zero and I booked the flights a mere nine days ahead, and the B+B just four days ahead. Stansted to Ireland West-Knock, and then a hire car. We stayed in Newport. It was a little wet, or, if I am completely honest, absolutely saturatingly wet. First call on arrival was Knock - the village, not the shrine...

Adam Price's Speech to Conference Conference, as we face a new decade in politics my mind turns to how, for me, this decade began. On a clear June morning in 2001 when a trusty band of foot-soldiers had gathered to accompany the new MP for Carmarthen East and Dynevor to London for the very first time. Like Gwynfor all those years ago, though we were going by bus not by train, and they didn't name it...

There was a nice piece in the Guardian newspaper yesterday about Arthur Machen, a writer of dark and fantastic fiction from down my way. He originates from Caerleon, just outside Newport (my hometown). Not a lot else to say at the moment (busy, busy, busy writing, but I should write in more detail on Machen at some point) apart from Arthur Machen is still an amazing read after all these years. The...

I pray I get that opportunity years down the road." Thus spoke Robert Watson, the chairman of Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign in Rhode Island. The target of his admiration was Roberta McCain, the senator's mother, one of...
