Marshfield Mail

Back to my blog, as I said in my last post, I’d be telling you about our local pubs. However, I’ve decided that maybe I’ll visit them all in turn (lucky me) and ask the landlords or landladies to write about their establishments themselves. That way you’ll get the proper picture of them.
Note to landlords/landladies: Mine is a pernod and lemonade !!

I’d like to thank Alison who owns the Marshfield Mail for her support in advertising St Brides Village Blog in the April edition of her fantastic little mag. Not so little these days and I love the colour, Alison !

For those that don’t know of the mag here’s a bit of info about it …

As I’ve said, the magazine is called ‘The Marshfield Mail’ and it’s delivered FREE every month. It’s got a lot of very interesting info regarding the local community and also local suppliers of various trades can place adverts in it for a very modest fee.
It acts as a great local Business Directory and so useful. It informs us of what’s going on plus a lot of other useful information, too numerous to mention here.

I’m sure I can say of behalf of all the community we think Alison does a very professional and friendly job of ‘promoting’ Marshfield and the surrounding areas with this great little mag, Well done Alison for setting this up and we wish you continued success.
If anyone has information or photos they’d like to have placed in the St Brides Wentlooge Village Blog, please get in contact with me, either leave a comment or email me. We’re looking for past and present photos that might be useful in future blogs.

Introduction to St Brides Wentlooge Village

A little bit of background and info before we get going with this Blog. Shall I just mention why I decided to start this blog having never done one before.

In our lovely village we've having a few challenges with getting on Broadband (in this day and age!). We also have unsightly tanks in our gardens for our gas (I thought the war ended years ago). These are supplied by either Calor or Flo Gas.

The 3rd issue is the fact that our bus service only goes to Newport. We don't have one at all that goes directly to Cardiff even though our village is about half-way to both Cities. We have to go by Shanks pony and there are some of those around!! By the way, for those of you who don't know, Newport is now a City with lots going on. We'll cover this in the blog.

That said we have lots and lots of great facilities and things to do in St Brides Wentlooge, in what could be described as a relatively small village. By the way, it's actually called St Brides Wentlooge in the Newport City but to keep it short you'll see me just writing St Brides....

The great thing about blogging, from what I can gather being a newbie, is that I can let you know bit by bit of the news, views and info of St Brides.

Some of the things I'll be letting you know about is where to eat and drink, things to do, places to go. Other topics would be the history of St Brides Wentlooge, how it was, how it is now and what we'd like to see in the future. I'll also be adding some interesting photos.

So come back for more and I'll also tell you a little bit about myself ....
