Sadly, we saw the passing of a na�onal treasure in April. TV and Radio Presenter Paul O’Grady supported animal rights, human rights, and children’s chari�es. His dedica�on to helping others will be missed by the chari�es and the many people he supported.

It only seems like yesterday we were completing our last issue but a month has moved on since. Time really does fly by. Covid seems to be doing it's rounds in schools in Cardiff, especially at our daughter’s primary school, but luckily, we know of no-one who is seriously ill with the virus. Thank goodness so many people have received vaccinations.

October is always a quiet month for us in terms of birthdays, celebrations or just going out in general. This could be because we are starting to think about the chaos and non-stop activity that is the month of December and mentally preparing ourselves for a certain celebration, or it could just be we haven’t been invited to go anywhere!

Earth hour also took place during April. If we all do a �ny bit to help reduce carbon footprint, our planet will be a healthier, greener living space for future genera�ons.

This month though, we'll be celebrating our daughter's birthday. Not sure what she wants to do or where she wants to go because she keeps changing her mind on ideas to celebrate her big daysounds a bit like her mum! (that was Mark saying that by the way!).

And another celebration this month is the book launch of our talented writer Sara John, who not content with providing us with an incredibly varied number of articles, has now turned her hand to writing her own book.

A major event taking place this May is the Wheelchair European Rugby at the Principality Stadium. Witness wheel-to-wheel ac�on as Europe’s top athletes come together to become European champions on one of the world’s most famous spor�ng stages.

Last but not least our third celebration goes to the magazine and our talented writers. We have only gone and won a best magazine award. It's great to be recognised after all these years. A huge well done to each and every one of our dedicated and inspirational writers, and a pat on the back for us, sometimes all the hard work is worth it after all!
