Breaking news. After a quiet morning spent having a lie-in and walking the dogs in the drizzle over at Tredegar House, we came home and as usual, fed the dogs and ourselves. I settled down with the newspaper while Andrew went upstairs to have a look at the news headlines on the PC - this is what we found.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, a large and serious fire took hold of Swansea greyhound stadium, requiring the attendance of a number of fire engines, and causing severe damage to the site. Regular readers and indeed Swansea residents will recall that the stadium closed last November following a prosecution brought by the local Council against the owners for poor welfare standards in the greyhound accommodation. Since then, the site has been standing empty waiting for redevelopment. You can see the story here on the BBC website - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_west_wales/10203323.stm or on the South Wales Evening Post website - http://www.thisissouthwales.co.uk/news/Riddle-cause-stadium-site/article-2237275-detail/article.html
