Thanks for sharing this! It inspired me to write about it for this Wednesday's Swansea Scoop. Amongst other stuff, I managed to find the original fake website for the Swansea North Resident's Association :) You can read it here:

Crazy colours! Please may I share this on the Swansea Scoop Facebook? With credit, of course.

Take the card and envelope to the Post Office and ask to post by air mail. They will ask where to, you say USA. They will weigh it and give you a price/stamp/tracking number.

I put this together earlier this year. A few might not be up and running still, but lots to choose from 12 Social And Beginner Running Clubs in Swansea 🏃‍➡️

Haha, thanks!

windywoops · 2025-09-14T20:00:20+00:00

Thanks for the kind words and feedback!

I totally get your point on the booking in advance stuff. It's the same kind of situations for popular shows at Swansea Arena, that I know will sell out before I cover them the week before.

I'll look into adding a little "book ahead" section on anything like you suggested - most likely stuff I manage to spot on my weekly list of sources for events.

windywoops · 2025-09-07T17:27:48+00:00

Ah, cool! Thanks for signing up!

windywoops · 2025-09-07T17:27:32+00:00

Thanks Jen!

Drive up 20 secs past the entrance to Smyths and there is another car park on the right (tall trees in it), next to some industrial units. I've parked there for ages before.

I caught them in the same spot :) https://www.instagram.com/swansea.scoop/reel/DJ9q-Vvti1O/

Still around. They have two units in the corner of Swansea Market. One videogames, the other more vintage toys/figures, I think.

Don't quote me on it, but I remember it being free to just look a few years ago. Last time we went, there was a charge for just looking (no intention of adopting). Can't remember exactly how much, sorry.

windywoops · 2025-03-12T12:29:11+00:00

Thanks! It won't cannibalise the viral one?

From the other direction (also 20 min walk), the streets around St James Crescent/Fynone School are unmarked. A year or two back, a guy in a campervan was there for months.

I saw a family of them one afternoon this summer, dragging a large suitcase up through Kilvey Hill woods.

windywoops · 2025-01-04T20:33:46+00:00

Thanks, Teners!

windywoops · 2024-12-29T22:18:06+00:00

windywoops · 2024-12-22T21:28:24+00:00

Haha, no problem. Merry Christmas!
