Mae gwenynwr lleol yn ysgrifennu am ei brofiad o gadw gwenyn yn Aberdar…
Mmmm… mêl ar fy nhost y peth cyntaf yn y bore… mmm… arogl persawrus yn codi i’m ffroenau… mmm… mêl fy hunan o gwch gwenyn ar ddiwedd yr ardd… mmmm… miloedd o weithwyr fach ufudd yn paratoi bwyd melys o flodau hardd y Cwm…
Breuddwydiaf am fwyd yn aml ac fe freuddwydiais am fêl a chadw gwenyn mêl ers pan oeddwn i yn blentyn. Daeth cyfle i wireddu fy mreuddwyd y llynedd pan ddechreuais cadw gwenyn yn Aberdar.

Four Men in a Tunnel in Aberdare… Taken during a very heavy downpour whilst volunteers with Sustrains were out on a Cycle Route signing and maintenance ride on the Cynon Trail.

There were big smiles at the
Riverside Community Garden Project this Saturday…
With perfect timing the sun made a brief appearance for half an hour in Cardiff.
Jenny Howell (right in photo) gave a tour of this innovative project in the centre of Cardiff to a group of Permaculture Design students taught by Michelle Fitzsimmons (left in photo) of Edible Landscaping via Cardiff University.

Spotted a group of fungi in Aberdare Park this week. Looked it up in a book on fungi and it seems they were the Blusher (Amanita rubescens)
See Wikipedia article here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blusher
It’s a pity there are no ‘fungi’ wild food course being run locally… I would love to pick some wild mushrooms for eating but like many people am very wary of doing this without some expert advice.

The warmest of Valleys welcomes was given to Prince Charles who visited Aberdare as part of a Royal Tour.
HRH Prince Charles the Prince of Wales came to see the new Visitor Centre at the world-famous Welsh Whisky Company distillery in the village of Penderyn, set in the beautiful landscape of Brecon Beacons National Park.
The whole village of Penderyn came to a standstill to greet and welcome Prince Charles.
Prince Charles takes a deep interest in the important things in life : the people, the land and the food we grow. He is a knowledgeable farmer who has championed the environmental cause for many, many years.
Thus we hope this Royal visit will encourage a greater interest in these subjects in Aberdare. We need to grow more of our own food in Aberdare and other former industrial areas and we need to husband and conserve the land and our resources more responsibly.
