A photo of the day thread

[Anthea M]

It's the third year and it has grown every year, more rides, more games and more people.

I admire Cardiff Council, they do have good ideas that benefit the people of Cardiff and they are not shortsighted either.

No entry fees, so families can come and enjoy without any required outlay required. The traders don't pay for being there, I believe, so they can see the benefits of growing the event.

Payment is by a token scheme, no cash at the rides. My mate takes his son every year, gives him £20 which buys 20 tokens and then he leaves him to decide what he wants to ride or play, with a strict understanding that there is no top up or extra money coming. So he learns to make good choices and budget.

The event creats a lot of jobs, with the contribution back to the government finances with Income Tax and NI contributions.

The crowds also spend money in the local shops, restaurants, bars and hotels. More jobs created/protected, more tax and NI contributions, businesses survive and/or thrive, generating local contributions with business rates collected by Cardiff Council, rewarding them for their foresight.

It also shows Cardiff and Wales in a good light, possibly increasing tourism and leading to increased growth in other areas.

We have a similar scheme in Sheffield Peace gardens great for kids who don't get a holiday or have never been to the beach.

Technically this is photo of the "yesterday" but I just wanted to share. I will return and next time I plan to have a picnic, catch some rays and maybe fly a kite. A fabulous place.

Visited 4 or 5 weeks ago - it certainly is worth seeing. Annoyingly no matter how many pictures or videos I took, they just don't really show the scale of it. Great fun running down the steep side when leaving

For those of you of a sensitive nature..Look no further. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

After a reasonable long journey, we decided to park up for the evening and what better place than at the head of the beautiful glen of The Rest and be Thankful.
Now, those of you that know it can appreciate its splendour, amazing scenery and once the traffic calms down some peace and quiet.
We were parked up in the big parking area near the bridge over the burn enjoying our evening, when a car pulls up directly in front of us, and I mean a few feet. Remembering that we are the only ones there and this car could have parked 40 mtrs away.
Imagine our delight when the two men exit said car, whop their dingles out and start peeing in full view in front of us. Then imagine said delight when the woman get out, squat and do the same. At least one of them did us the courtesy of going between the two doors. The other did not.

Now must of us have been caught short at some time, but right in front of us....Really ?
