Pat Condell

Talking, and making, lots of good sense about religion and politics, writer-comedian Pat Condell has a great bunch of videos online now. His website at www.patcondell.net is also worth a look.

Portmeirion

Spent last weekend in tiny Welsh resort of Portmeirion, for my brother's wedding at Castle Dendraeth. It was a great Saturday, in spite of the rain. I found time for a walk along the woodland paths before breakfast, and really enjoyed the quite surreal experience of wandering in circles about the 'village fantastique' (where Patrick McGoohan's TV show The Prisoner was filmed), finding surprises around every corner.
