City photographer creates magazine to showcase photos that “make your heart happy”

"Cardiff photographer Sarah Hill has been a member of the photo-sharing social network Flickr since its launch in 2004. She has uploaded more than 2,000 of her own photos, but has also “favourited” more than 3,400 pictures taken by other people. After feeling frustrated that she couldn’t share the shots that she loved, she launched her own photography magazine – Télégramme – funding, designing, and putting together the high quality publication herself. Here she talks about being a photographic geek, and producing a magazine simply to create something beautiful."

I can’t imagine living anywhere else

Photo: Lann Niziblian

"I felt immediately at home in Cardiff and after my first decade, can’t imagine living anywhere else. I love that it’s a city you can walk across in half and hour, mostly through parks if the mood takes you. I love its creativity, friendliness, informality and that more often than not, it feels like the capital village of Wales."

Cardiff City State - The Solution To Nothing

"Something that has long vexed those with Cardiff's (and only Cardiff's) interests at heart is that the real EU funding was going to the Valleys . . . but EU regulations ensured they could not get their hands on it. Now, because some 6 per cent of the region's population (outside of Cardiff) commutes daily into the city, they feel that a combination of City State and commuters gives them the 'lever' to reallocate Valleys' funding down to Cardiff"

A sympathetic ear to pavement cyclists

"... it would appear cyclists are neither welcome on the road nor the pavement. Where exactly can we cycle in peace without fear of being injured or killed by people who can’t quite seem to grasp the idea we have rights too?"

Chip shop serves up a record order for Cardiff firm

"Rumney-based Preston & Thomas has been going for 99 years, and bosses were delighted when they were asked to provide a huge new fish frying range for a restaurant in Falkirk. Where ranges in most fish and chip shops have two or three frying pans, the one ordered by the Benny T’s restaurant in Laurieston, Falkirk has eight pans, meaning that up to 240 portions of chips can be prepared every seven minutes."
