Another loyalty scheme has just launched in Rhuthun/Ruthin. It's at Bridge Services where anyone who can prove they have a LL15 address can get a reduced petrol or diesel. Called the Ruthin Community Savings Card, it's provided by thde foreco…
A couple of our famous eateries were in the news, yesterday. In Seattle, no less. One Rick Steves (or was that Steve Ricks?) blogged on Rhuthun/Ruthin via the Seattle Post-Intelligencer (sic) which, apparently since 2009, is the only Seattle newspaper…
It's not a term I'd associated with houses but it crops up no fewer than five times in the week's Free Press ¾ page editorial feature on Taylor Wimpey's Glasdir . The term is "secondhand " homes. How odd. It's as if the…
I don't know whether Ysgol Brynhyfryd pupils achieved good A Level results yesterday, or not. I suspect they did. It's said that 80 per cent of Brynhyfryd pupils who apply to university get their first or second choice. That's ahead of ye…
It may not yet be quite an internet phenomenon but the video "Ain't Seen Ruthin Yet" has managed to grow its YouTube hits 10 fold since I first came across it . Then, it had managed 2,003 hits. Now at over 20,000, it's four times the…

In a strongly worded and critical treatise available on its website, Ymlaen Rhuthun Forward seems to have taken on the mantle of lobbying for moderated car parking charges across Denbighshire. No one likes to pay for parking though it’s been a reality…
Two firsts in one day, during the Saturday just gone. Chalk & cheese. Here's the second of them. The first's here . It couldn't've been different to the prices on offer at the Canolfan Grefft/Craft Centre , also visited on Saturd…
Two firsts in one day, during the Saturday just gone. Chalk & cheese. Here's one of them. The second to follow. The often rarefied, sometimes arcane, even possibly stilted world of the Canolfan Greft Rhuthun/Ruthin Craft Centre has come to l…
After seeing this video, perhaps everyone should try harder to take a look at Rhuthun... Or click this link
I hope I haven't been disparaging towards the Cerdyn Bro Rhuthun Card scheme. That was not the intention. While still feeling that the offer needs improvement and expansion, let's look at the incentives currently available, as published in th…
Published yesterday on the Travel Daily News website was something rather curious. In reporting that the UK's cultural heritage generates £4.6bil from overseas visitors, the site went on to read, "within that total one-in-eight of those site…
