The civic engagements to celebrate the city’s anniversary continued on Monday with the ‘Friends of Mayhill Washing Lake’ and ‘Hillside Community Food Garden’ visiting the Mansion House for supper. The lake, though it is more the size of small pond, is situated on the hill below Nicander Parade. The Community Food Garden is below it, just above Hewson Street. The group started off as an initiative to carry out regular litter picks and grew into something much bigger.
Later today I will be at The Great Hall in Swansea University’s Bay Campus for the annual Richard Burton Lecture. This year’s theme is ‘Now I become myself: a woman’s voice in music and poetry. Welsh composer Rhian Samuel will talk about her life as a composer of classical music in the USA and the UK, from a time when women composers were an extreme rarity to today when they are much more prevalent.
On Thursday I’ll be visiting Ty Ogaf Recovery Housing - a project by Brunswick Church on St Helen’s Road that offers a place of refuge to individuals experiencing homelessness and addiction as well as providing a point of contact for prison leavers and asylum seekers.
On Friday I will be joining snooker legend Willie Thorne who is guest speaker at the Swansea & West Wales Insurance Institute Annual Dinner at the Marriott Hotel in the marina. Then on Saturday I will be at the Grand Theatre for a performance of Jesus Christ Superstar by local amateur dramatic group Abbey Players.
