“You’ve got to go outside when it’s sunny and the weather’s good. It might be the only summer we get!”

I asked this little dude to give me his best photo pose. He wanted to do a zombie pose. This was it!

“We were expecting an addition to our family today. Turns out he has different ideas. At least the weather’s nice enough to walk around and try and coax him out!”

“I used to cycle a lot. I don’t so much anymore. I’m still active – I’m just passive-active.”

“Much as I try, I just can’t get my head around the internet. But we’re trying with an online shop now. I guess everyone has to start somewhere!”

“My local is The Albany. It’s got the best beer garden in Roath. And it’s nice because it’s not packed with students!”

“I suppose you don’t see something like this in Cardiff Bay everyday. This is Diab. I’ve been training him for a while. We fly him here, or out on the farm. I think he likes the camera!”

“We try to come down to the Riverside Market every Sunday, just to pick up a couple of essentials. It helps when it’s sunny!”

“Fundraising is my absolute passion. I put on events to raise money for different charities – I raised twelve and a half thousand pounds last year. It started out being quite low-key – I love a good night out, and people started asking me to organise them locally. They’re great events and so much fun – and it’s all for a good cause. I call it positive socialising!”

“If we could go back to when we were setting up The SHO Gallery I don’t know what advice we’d give ourselves. We learnt so many little things along the way. The one thing we do know now is how little we knew back then!”

“I started playing guitar at around the age of 12 after becoming hooked on classic rock music. I wanted to be like them! I still love Aerosmith, Whitesnake, Bon Jovi! Started writing songs at 15 and have just done it ever since. Cardiff is a great place to play gigs, but it can be quite cliquey. Having said that I’ve met some great musicians and promoters and have seen some great bands here. It seems to be getting better, but a lot of the alt-country-style bands I love seem to go unappreciated or seem to play Bristol more.”

“My advice for newly-weds? Don’t do it. Actually I think it’s probably too late for that by then, isn’t it? So my advice is – show no weakness.”
