Evening all, hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather.

It's been a very busy month in TCRM Towers, the biggest site launch this month has been Barry Town Council's new site, welcome to Mark and his team. Please visit the new site on http://www.barrytowncouncil.gov.uk/. The site is also available in the Welsh flavour.

Andrea seems to be working harder and harder, probably due to the threat that she cannot go on holiday (She is getting married in Florida in a few weeks) unless she is up to date with her work.

Since we spent the first two weeks of this heat wave in Spain we missed the hottest bits but nevertheless we are not bitter (Barcelona vs Bridgend, no contest really). Barcelona is a fabulous city, lots to see and great food/drink. It is really strange how cold lager tastes so much better in a hot climate.

It was interesting to fly from Cardiff again, quite a while since we did this and unfortunately a bit worrying - it is so quiet - it seems like there are hardly any flights at all. We flew to Barcelona with a Spanish company called Vueling, and this company, although budget, was really good. It was a pleasant flight, all the staff were friendly and helpful, it was on time and the price was competitive. However the worrying part of the story is that the flight was about half full and clearly if this continues the flight will get pulled.  Did you now the Welsh Assembly Government (that means me and you) has bought Cardiff airport, so, if we do not use the flights it means Wales will lose it's only international airport and we, the tax payer, will have lost another pile of cash. I am interested where the marketing campaign is to promote the airport, if it exists it certainly seems to be lower profile than is needed. If we are to keep our airport we need to keep the flights provided by companies like Vueling viable. So next time your thinking of a break take a look at Cardiff, it is a lot easier to get to than Bristol.
