The Bucket List

A work in progress

So, I have had a think about all the things that make Cardiff Cardiff. What do people do when they come here, what makes their time memorable?

What is intrinsically Cardiff? Where would you take friends if they were visiting? What shows Cardiff off to its best?

What is so Cardiff, that Cardiff simply wouldn’t be Cardiff without it?

Here is my list so far:

·         The vegetarian food studio in Grangetown

·         Mint and Mustard

·         Afternoon tea at Waterloo Garden Tea Rooms

 I don’t think this is the final list, more of a document in progress, and thanks to all the people who have contributed so far.

Some of the things on the list I have done already but need to revisit. Some I am worried might not be possible in the time frame. But one thing is for sure, I don’t think I can leave happily before I can tick off as many of these off the list as possible. I'll keep my progress updated.

Happy hunting...
