The conservatively & elegantly painted though empty Cerrig & the Green Lady shop has turned itself into an unusual shade of purple. Opinions are sharply divided about the premises' new look. It's a prominent location without having to …
It may not be Edinburgh or Cheltenham but starting yesterday, we have our own music festival week. At the close of each year I promise myself that I will go to the festival the following year. I never do. Each year the cost goes up. And it all seems a…
If you wondered how I could be in two places at once, the photos here are by the blog photographer So that settles it, then. Anyone who was wondering about the location of post-1996 Denbighshire's county town now knows it's Dinbych/Denbigh, …
... that will be making a difference in town is the forthcoming Ruthin Décor move from the barrenness of the industrial estate to the former Slater's site in the town centre. Most movements between town and trading estate have been one way, fr…
