WELCOME

Autumn's well and truly with us. I love autumn/winter fashion. The colours are vibrant with rich autumnal hues and the fabrics are sumptuous. Don't get me on to the opaques and boots - I don't know about you but they go with everything and are oh, so comfy.

In this issue we've got some great features. We focus on Aberdare, Pontypridd and Llantrisant. They're all great places to find that special gift for Christmas and you'll be supporting your local businesses.

We also feature the world-famous Nos Galan Road Race that takes place each New Year's Eve and celebrates the legend of Guto Nyth Brân. Turn to page 16 to find out how you can be part of this nostalgic event. Go for it!
