Caerdydd

I accompanied my daughter to Cardiff School of Art & Design's Open Day yesterday.  Here are my observations:

• that the people of Cardiff are the friendliest and kindest people I have met in a long time
• that, although I cannot understand it, I am pleased that the Welsh have held on to their language
• that, delivered by someone with a sense of humour, a talk on student finance can be the highlight of the day
• that there is a lot more to illustration than meets the eye
• that, despite their ensuite facilities, modern student residences are completely soulless
• that Victorian/Edwardian shopping arcades are infinitely superior to the ones we are building today
• that people will pay good money for hideous nylon hats as worn by my great aunts 
• that I wish the day had been longer
• that I will be back
