Don’t forget if you have any stories of life as an expat or maybe you made a special visit back to the homeland… drop me a line, with a few pics if possible, and I’ll make sure everyone gets to hear about it.

So, without further ado here's the latest news from in and around your old backyard.

This month: Gareth Edwards returns to the international rugby 'field'. The new Cardiff City football stadium misses it’s deadline and an eco-friendly bridesmaid’s incredible journey.

Also, Remember Avana Bakery? The home of one of Cardiff’s famed cake makers has become yet another victim of the city’s redevelopment scheme. On a nostalgic note, Swansea’s reputaion as the ‘copper king’ is set to shine again and finally a famous old watering hole that was lost in the mists of time is to be given a new lease of life.

So until next month take care, enjoy the expats newsletter.

Don't forget to check out the Expats Changing Wales and Expats Nostalgia sections for regular updates on what's going on.
