Just love this large impressive timepiece by H Samuel under their brand name Everite. It's above the arched entrance to Cardiff Central Market which opened on the 8th May 1891 by the Marchioness of Bute.
Discovered a disco in Crockherbtown Lane (which I also dicovered!). Disco lights flashing at 4pm? I was intrigued but didn't go in. Leaves me wondering - Was anyone really on the dancefloor?
10Feet Tall..... just another favourite 'nest'!
We've been busy busy but not too busy to upload our photos from last Thursday's WonderCulture Schooltrip on Flickr. It was a terrific creative activity - pure free-flow, individually inventive and great to meet new people presenting different perspectives of the city centre. Everyone established their own documentary approach from the off. Lynsey went all random on us walking in the opposite direction to where she would normally go and opposite to the rest of us when she spotted us! My approach was way more controlled - walking a familiar route, identifying a street name, looking up, setting an horizon and capturing the architecture ignored just below the sky horizon - and I got that blue sky I love too! We proudly presented our souvenirs at the end - Lynsey did 'old' - a bag of good old fashioned chocolate limes bought from a sweet shop established a 114 years ago that none of us even knew existed. I did 'new' - I joined the new Cardiff Central Library and got my library card, a first in over 15 years ..... better late than never!

TODAY - it's the WonderCulture Schooltrip in Cardiff and it' sunny!
We're involved in organising the trip for WonderCulture and the Cardiff Design Festival 09. A whole bunch of curious people with sketchbooks, camera's, pop and crisps will be meeting on the steps of the National Museum of Wales at 3pm today. As Cardiff city centre is changing with the urban redevelopment project nearing its final stages the WonderCulture Schooltrip is an opportunity to re-familiarise and grab a fresh perspective of the city in a fun and creative way.
WonderCulture is a brand we originally created as a kind of design community umbrella brand for the Designer's Market we established in 2006 as the designers twist on the much loved and popular farmers market. 3 Years we got together with a like-minded group of individual creative-thinkers who we had many years experience working together on contemporary event-led and international commissions. The aim was to establish a new venture combining our collective experience, knowledge, passion, skills, talent, energy, vision and collaborative style of working to create, deliver and manage events and exhibitions. We needed an identity, a brand - it was time to share our home-grown brand. One thing we all agreed on - we create unique, distinctive and sustainable-led events. We turn ordinary into extraordinary. WonderCulture Extraordinary Events has also evolved!
