Apologies for an absence from the blogosphere. I have been very very busy since Wednesday. I have been visiting projects in the South Wales West area- including BAWSO, and the opening of Ty Tawe's new extension in Swansea. I have also just arrived back from the Peace Festival in Caernarfon. The weekend was a huge success, and congratulations to the organisers in the North for their very professionally run first time organising the event. Previously it has been organised by the Aberystwyth Peace and Justice Network- which included myself for many a year, but it was good to see it set elsewhere. I hope this trend can continue. The speakers were inspiring- in that I mean the speech by Jo Berry and Pat Magee. Her father, a Tory MP was killed by Pat Magee from the IRA during the Brighton bomb. A very moving event, as was the workshop that followed. (I'll blog about it in more detail at a later point). The music at night was also great, with Gwilym Morus a highlight for me personally, as was meeting up with friends from the movement.
It's back to the work in South Wales West tomorrow. My office is getting a makeover at the moment, so we have paint and dust everywhere. It'll be worth it in the end!
