When I went home for Christmas, Cardiff was a completely different city to the one I remembered. When I left, the Hayes was dirt, scaffolding and JCBs – now it’s boasting the biggest John Lewis outside of London as well as the mahoooosive shopping centre, St David’s 2. It’s crazy to see my city changing in this way, and the word on the street is that Swansea is to get similar treatment. It’s pretty impressive though; Cardiff is clearly on the up with a shopping centre that rivals that of bigger English cities. Personally, I was really excited to see John Lewis because of its fabric section – in fact I ran straight for it and haven’t really been in the rest of it yet… I have a feeling the fabric ladies will get to know me veeeery well when I’m back in Wales!
