Welcome to my online diary, enjoy your stay!
In November 2005 whilst home recovering from an operation I decided to try and design a web page for White Springs Fisheries in Pontarddulais I soon started adding info on the fishery website page of my community activities, but as I got more and more involved in community projects, I decided to start this blog in order to keep my community activities and involvement seperate to the fishing. You can email me with comments at slloydjanes@aol.com
Info about me

This Blog contains a mixture of White Springs News, Community news from Hendy and some political comments and activities, hope you enjoy your visit
Over the last few months i noticed that the Tesco bags have been getting thinner and thinner, this is probably a good thing as the far as the enviroment is concerned as it will help for the bags to brake down when thrown into the landfill, but i assume it will still take a long time once thrown into the rubbish, tommorow i'm taking part in a briefing of recycling by the county,
Nia Griffith and myself have done our bit for the recycling, we met with the store manager at Tesco Llanelli and because the county council are rolling out the new recycling scheme which removes glass from kerb side collections, Tesco's in partnership with the county have installed glass bottle recycling in its car park
Phase six will be rolled out on 23rd November 2009 to 10,000 remaining properties in the following areas:
Morfa; Glanymor/Tyisha; Pwll; Felinfoel; Cefncaeau; Llangennech; Hendy; Bynea; Bancffosfelen; Mynyddygarreg; Kidwelly; Pontyates; Ponthenri; Pontyberem; Pembrey, Burry Port; Pinged; Tumble, Llanon.
The total number of households on the new recycling scheme will be in the region of 75,000.
A Members Seminar for the final rollout will be held tommorrow FRIDAY, 9th OCTOBER, 2009 at 2pm in the Council Chamber, Town Hall, Llanelli to answer any queries on the new scheme to local county council members and local town or rural councillors.
I will be telling them that the county has secured Tesco as a bring your on glass site. Most people can drop their glass off as they do their weekly shopping. This facility has already proved very popular with some regular customers.
Anyway I started this blog today with the quality of the humble plastic bag. This is because as regular readers of this blog will be aware I've started learning welsh. The tutors gave us our book work in a nice thick quality plastic bag and i've been taking my course work in to work to do some practicing in my tea and lunch breaks.
Last Saturday night i did a foolish thing, i left my shining new plastic bag on top of a value orange dollie, on Sunday when i woke up, i realised my mistake
, and dashed to Tescos at 3.30pm on a Sunday afternoon, to find the two books still on top of the value orange juice minus the plastic bag, some one had pinched the bag
But on the bright side I suppose i've once again done my bit for the enviroment as that person is now using my bag to gain their green points and helping to save the enviroment,
Anyway i've just come home from Welsh classes and here's my next weeks homework which i will have to do this week.
and on that note
