We had a fabulous time in Cardiff. Here's some pics:


St Fagans National History Museum is an astonishingly good place to visit, with the open air site containing over 40 lovingly rebuilt buildings from Wales' history.


The row of workmen's cottages from Rhyd-y-car were my favourite.

A little less easy on the eye was Nant-y-moel and Ogmore Vale, two down-at-heel former mining villages, still struggling to find a purpose after Herr Thatcher finished off the local industry in the mid 1980s.

Putting Oxford Street's desperate offering to shame is the gloriously over-the-top display at the Rockefeller Centre, New York:



And here's the feeble lights on London's Oxford Street.

This year's effort -both by the council and local shops - looks even worse than last years paltry offering.





Only Brixton Station Road looks in the least bit festive, while most shops haven't bothered at all (save for some Yuletide-themed, product shifting advert or another).

This was fun last week - a party with The Actionettes inside one of the Tate Britain's art galleries!

This was a ton of fun - we managed to pack in two bands - including a 7-piece ukulele outfit - and a load of DJs in the Prince Albert for our party.

We've been away in New York for the past couple of weeks, and as soon as we got back to London, I had to run two Offline nights, so things have been very, very busy.

New York was fantastic fun, but it's going to take me a while to sort out all the photos, but here's a few from a lovely morning spent crunching through the Central Park snow.
