‘Shwmae’ – Hello to everyone out there; to all my readers on the Discover Cardiff website and hopefully lots of new ones that will join me now!
Discover Cardiff is a website for visitors to our lovely Capital City and for residents alike to find out everything there is to see and do here – where to visit, stay, eat, shop, chill out, what to see and do, freebies & offers and lots more. Get the latest news, views, gossip and events straight from the Cardiff girlie’s mouth (no I’m not a horse….)
Cardiff is Europe’s youngest Capital and is now home to a distinctive, vibrant, sexy 21st Century culture. You’ll find a whacky Castle in the middle of the City, a Civic Centre built of elegant white Portland stone (think Whitehouse in the US), elegant Edwardian & Victorian Shopping Arcades (think Burlington Arcade & Bond St. London) all mixed in with the massive Millenium Stadium, trendy shopping centres, contemporary hotels and a cocktail of gastro-pubs, clubs & eateries. The old Cardiff Docks (think Shirley Bassey & Tiger Bay) have morphed into a glossy new Cardiff Bay Waterfront, crammed full of restaurants, shops, galleries & waterfront bars and a new culture of watersports, gleaming new glass offices and fountains have ‘phoenixed’ their way out of the coal dust. However we, the Cardiffians, have definitely not changed – you will still find the same warm, friendly, welcoming people here.
Whether you’re looking for the arts & cultural scene, sports, green parks, handmade or vintage gifts, traditional or quirky, fashion or passion, this Cardiff girlie would like to help point you in the right direction.
I aim to feature small businesses, enterprises, shops and eateries regularly on this blog. Please check out my website: www.discovercardiff-uk.com for more information or contact me here at : wendy50lee@yahoo.co.uk if you would like me to do a feature on your enterprise. The mix will be eclectic (a sort of liquorice allsorts) but hopefully will always be informative and entertaining. Please come and visit me again soon.
