Castell Coch (Red Castle) near Cardiff
On my last full day in Cardiff, while visiting my parents recently, I went to see one of my favourite local landmarks, Castell Coch (The Red Castle). Originally built in the 13th Century, the castle was in ruins when in 1871, John Patrick Crichton-Stuart, the 3rd Marquess of Bute, reputedly the richest man in the […]

When I was back in London recently, as well as scoping out great Street Art, I took the opportunity to visit some old haunts. I couldn’t resist the chance to go to Bodean’s BBQ Restaurant in Soho, a place that has provided me with wonderfully tasty food and some special memories. The restaurant on Poland […]

Robert Montgomery – Echoes of Voices in the High Towers
Robert Montgomery’s poems, displayed on billboards, appear in the urban environment and therefore must surely constitute Street Art but they are so different from the most popular forms of the genre that they really stand out. When I read a blog post on Little Thoughts about a number of his works on display in the […]
