Cardiff

I've just been in Cardiff for a few days and found myself staying in the same hotel as three north Wales colleagues, which enriched my evenings. We stayed in the Ibis Hotel (French chain), which was comfortable enough and we discovered a Thai restaurant, almost next door, which I will re-visit. The food was delicious.
I should also say that I am now Chair of the GwirVol (youth volunteering) partnership for Wales, to which I feel highly committed. We had a meeting on Wednesday and it is clear that there are many people who value this youth volunteering work highly. Good.
