Hello!

This is the first blog of what I hope will be many.

I guess I should introduce myself in some small way first of all - I'm Newport born and bred, have 2 grown-up sons, lots of interests, 2 Yorkies and a cat.

Oh and a husband.

I don't think you'll get too much in the way of political debate with me - I tend to switch it off.

I am, however, waiting for the m edia-hounds (no, not you, Argus) to turn on the security forces for this lot at the airports.

It always happens, doesn't it? Some tabloid will start to interview stranded people who have been disadvantaged, no doubt with their young children in tow, and all of a sudden it's been an exercise in 'overkill'.

Let's just thank god (small g) that our intelligence is a damn site better or our politicians less corrupt than those across the pond.

Oh, and I think we should boycott a certain budget airline for saying it's time to stop searching now as it's holiday-time.

He's obviously far more interested in his profits than he is in his passengers.

Don't you agree?

See you tomorrow, same time, same place, different content.
