THE best thing about the Nato Summit was Newport having something Cardiff doesn’t have - The Celtic Manor Resort. Many thanks and Congratulations must go to Sir Terry Matthews (a fellow Monmouthshirarian and proud of it) for his foresight, determination and self made money to build a world class venue that has put Newport on the world map twice in four years.
Pity he’s not in politics! The relaxed and humorous manner with which David Cameron and Barack Obama met delegates, residents and schoolchildren. The fly past of the Red Arrows and other aircraft and the sun shining. The worst part about it was seeing Carwyn Jones and self satisfied others from Cardiff Bay smirking and the way Newport Council treated the mayor, Matthew Evans. Overall, never mind if you class yourself as Welsh, English or Scottish, it was just a great time to be British!
