Hi Lisa, it was for pleasure! We had a week in the west. I loved Swansea you have so many funky shops!
We'll have to try and get this section off the ground!
Hi everyone,
although I now live in Durham, I am WELSH through and through and try and get down to Welsh-wales to visit family 4 times a year.
I'm from Crickhowell, inbetween Abergavenny and Brecon.
My 2 sisters live in Killay near Swansea.
I lived in Cardiff for 2 years as a higher education student ( not uni) (Roath) and used to work in a The Borough on the main street in Cardiff (St Mary Street) and also in a nightclub called Coco Savannas opposite the theatre, when it first opened. We used to work a shift, finish at 2am and go to the Taurus steakhouse for a meal and walk home!!!!
The Taurus steakhouse - best beef strogonoff ever! Still haven't had one to match it.
On my last trip to Cardiff - for the rugby - I was most disappointed to find it's not there anymore.....but then so much of Cardiff has changed.
And there's still nowhere like Swansea market for your fresh veg.....and lava bread and cockles! With thick cut bacon and brown bread.....yum!
And since we're getting a bit active in the welshie forum, can anyone help with this?

hey Amber, best chicken n chips in the Taurus. It moved across the street and went a bit upmarket - took the sawdust off the floor and it was never the same.
I used to love working in the pub on international day, fantastic atmosphere.
I haven't been to Cardiff for ages, not since they poshed up Grangetown and called it a marina or summat.
I used to drive to visit my friend in grangetown and used to try and hold my breath when I went past the Brains brewery as it reeked.
sorry, not heard of the cake that you talk about, we used to live on welsh cakes and rock cakes, but not the one you mentioned. will ask though and see what I come up with for you.
