Chatted last night with founder Forum member Victoria Bancroft in the Yacht Club,Ferryside. Victoria recommended watching a short speech by the BBC wildlife reporter Iolo Williams The Welsh Assembly in 2013. I found it a moving and sincere call to action.

Thanks for this Victoria.
Please see http://www.carmarthenshire.gov.uk/English/transport/Buses/TravelTimes/Pages/BusServiceChanges18052014.aspx for full details and details of alterations to other Bus Services.
“The existing service is provided by Carmarthenshire County Council but duplicates other services along many parts of the route. The service will therefore be reduced so that there is a limited service between Llanelli, Trimsaran and Kidwelly, with the aim of complementing the other commercial services. Buses will therefore run from Llanelli to Carmarthen at 0740, 1420 and 1650, returning from Carmarthen to Llanelli at 0850, 1610 and 1800. This means that the County has managed to accommodate journeys from the Llansaint and Ferryside areas into Carmarthen before 0900 and returning at 1800, following the withdrawal of similar commercial journeys by First Cymru last year. Most of the above journeys will run via the Waunyclun area in Trimsaran.
Recognising that the Llansaint and Ferryside areas do not have access to other bus services, we are retaining daytime journeys between Kidwelly and Carmarthen on this route. The buses will leave Kidwelly at 0925 and 1235, returning from Carmarthen at 1010 and 1320.
The 0925 journey from Kidwelly to Carmarthen and the return at 1320 from Carmarthen will run via Croesyceiliog instead of Cwmffrwd, so that the Croesyceiliog area now has a service on Mondays to Saturdays, in place of service 240 only on Wednesdays.
The Sunday service will be withdrawn.”

Please join me in signing the petition to tell Bayer and Syngenta to drop their bee-killing lawsuits now. http://action.sumofus.org/a/bayer-bees-lawsuit/?sub=taf
Wow. Bayer has just sued the European Commission to overturn a ban on the pesticides that are killing millions of bees around the world. A huge public push won this landmark ban only months ago — and we can’t sit back and let Big Pesticide overturn it while the bees vanish.
Just last month, 37 million bees were discovered dead on a single Canadian farm. And unless we act now, the bees will keep dying by the millions. We have to show Bayer now that we won’t tolerate it putting its profits ahead of our planet’s health. If this giant corporation manages to bully Europe into submission, it would spell disaster for the bees.
