I’m spoiled where I live. I don’t know if Sesame Street was a thing over here, but it feels like I live on-set sometimes.
We are almost equidistant between a group of posh shops in Pontcanna and some “lower end” traditional shops in Canton, and I love them all.
The best of the lot, though, is the local hardware shop, which has been owned by the same man forever, and where we can go to get everything from a single bolt to new power tools, together with one of the butcher shops, where we get most of our meat, and especially our Christmas fowl and roast every year.
And that’s not even mentioning Troutmark Books in Castle Arcade, or the Pen Shop in one of the other arcades. Cardiff is pretty spoiled for choice, really.
