Newport Taekwon-do team clean up at martial arts championship
Well I'm currently laid up with pneumonia which gives me plenty of time to sit down with the papers.
Congratulations to Gassor's Tournament Team who are based at the Martial Arts and Fitness Centre in Newport. They jetted off to Sardinia to compete in the Mediterranean Open Championships in Sardinia and came back with a massive haul of 30 medals

Vroom by the Sea
Travel writer Peter Moore has just released his new book, Vroom by the Sea, though sadly it's only published in New Zealand and Australia at the moment.
The follow-up to 2005's Vroom with a View, it follows Moore's travels on his vintage (and very orange) Vespa 200 - dubbed Marcello - from Livorno on mainland Italy to the interior of Sardinia, one eye on the clock as it ticks down to the birth of his first child.
Will Marcello go the distance? Can Moore finish his tour and make it back to London in time for the birth? Suppose we'll have to wait to find out.
In the meantime why not check out his web site.

The Times reveal Sardinia's best beaches (in their opinion)
"Sardinia has some of the world’s most idyllic beaches. Mile upon mile of pearly-white sands dip into waters of dazzling shades of aquamarine and emerald green. Elsewhere, rugged cliffs plunge into the sea and tiny coves and picturesque harbours beg to be explored. The waters really are swimming-pool-blue — and the sandy coves are often deserted.
Locals say that God created Sardinia by stepping on it with his sandal — and ‘Sandalyon’ (sandal) was the ancient name given to it by the Greeks and Phoenicians. The coastline of almost 1250 miles (2000 km) equates with a quarter of the total Italian coast, indented by tiny coves and picturesque harbours."
