Welcome / Croeso<br />
We're a little late<br />
with this summer<br />
issue. Alas, we're only<br />
human. As the saying<br />
goes, your health is<br />
your wealth!<br />
The good news is<br />
that we're still here<br />
and we're back<br />
bringing you some of<br />
the finest stories to<br />
come out of <strong>Rhiwbina</strong><br />
and beyond.<br />
We start this issue<br />
with a feature about<br />
a man who paved<br />
the way for so many<br />
others in the police<br />
force. We were<br />
honoured to meet<br />
the family of Derrick<br />
Hassan, the first serving black<br />
police offi cer in the South Wales<br />
Police. His remarkable story has<br />
inspired many others to follow in<br />
his footsteps.<br />
They say that tough times help<br />
build character and while there<br />
is some truth in that, learning<br />
the lessons of resilience is<br />
something we can be aware of<br />
and use to our advantage. We<br />
show you how you can convert<br />
those negative experiences into<br />
ones that will serve you better in<br />
the future.<br />
Of course, life isn't all plain<br />
sailing. The current cost of living<br />
crisis is something that's affecting<br />
us all and is likely to be with us<br />
for some time yet. With that in<br />
mind, we've put together some<br />
money-saving ideas to help you<br />
tighten your belt and get you<br />
through the worst of it.<br />
The kids going back to school<br />
doesn't necessarily mean the<br />
end of summer and we've got<br />
some little tricks to help you eke<br />
out as much summer as you can<br />
get before the autumn storms<br />
roll in.<br />
South Wales is peppered with<br />
wonderful waterfalls and if you<br />
fancy a day out looking at these<br />
wonders of nature, we've handpicked<br />
some of the best. And if<br />
you'd rather stay at home, we'd<br />
chosen a few books that you can<br />
chill out with in the last of the<br />
summer sun.<br />
Sabbaticals are becoming<br />
increasingly popular following<br />
the stressful days of the<br />
pandemic. We've given you<br />
the low down on how you can<br />
prepare and enjoy one - and<br />
what to expect when you finally<br />
take the plunge.<br />
We also take a look at summer<br />
gardening and detail a list of<br />
activities that will keep your<br />
green space in tip-top condition.<br />
While the sun still shines well<br />
into September, now is the<br />
perfect time to grab yourself a<br />
late summer barbeque. We've<br />
got some delicious recipes that<br />
you can share with family and<br />
friends.<br />
North Cardiff is bubbling with<br />
history and we've uncovered a<br />
story that might make you sit<br />
up and take notice. It involves a<br />
certain King Arthur and the local<br />
ties to the legend are pretty<br />
convincing.<br />
Finally, we've got a short story<br />
from our award-winning editor,<br />
Patric Morgan to sign off the<br />
summer with a smile.<br />
We've already started working<br />
on our Autumn issue and we'd<br />
love you to show our advertisers<br />
the support they deserve. Local<br />
businesses form the backbone of<br />
our communities.<br />
Enjoy the rest of your summer<br />
and we'll back in October with<br />
our Autumn issue.<br />
