Dan Stevens & audiobooks

Many of you will already know that Dan has narrated, or rather performed, more than 30 audiobooks as well as numerous and varied radio dramas & readings.

However, many do not know or realise what a masterful grasp he has on languages, dialects, accents and the ages of the characters, whether they be man or woman, boy or girl.

I am listening, again, to “Fall of Giants” by Ken Follett which has one of the broadest range of characters, each one of which is amazingly “inhabited” by Dan.

Below is a very long list of characters in that book - and remember each is portrayed differently by Dan which makes it such an enjoyable “listen”. It is an amazing performance and I truly hope that one day he will find some time to provide us with more audiobooks to enjoy.

Those who already enjoy these works will need no convincing, and they will have many favourites, as do I, especially work such “My Dear I Wanted To Tell You”, “The Invisible Ones”, “History of A Pleasure Seeker”, “Wolf Hall”, “War Horse”.......and more

What happened to rugby players once was hinted to be the next big thing in Wales, as some shone brightly while others faded.

What happened to rugby players once was hinted to be the next big thing in Wales, as some shone brightly while others faded.

When Sir Clive Sinclair revealed that he was working on an electric pedal car known as the C5, it was widely hailed as the next big thing. Not long after, one was seen in dirty conditions on Cardiff’s Leckwith roundabout. He was small and exposed, and the driver seemed petrified as trucks whizzed by and spray shot off the road and hit him in the face. So he reasoned that the C5 was not going to…

Kier confirms £64m Cardiff school job

Cardiff Council has agreed a £64m deal with Kier to construct Fitzalan High School in the south west of the city.

Procured through the South East & Mid Wales Collaborative Construction Framework, the school is being jointly funded by Cardiff Council and Welsh Government as part of its Band B 21st Century Schools and Education investment programme.

The Leckwith Road project will consist of two interconnecting buildings, with 88 classrooms, nine science laboratories, an immersive room, drama studio, sports hall and dining area.

The firm has been on site carrying out enabling works for several months and aims to maximise use of the local supply chain, with 85%  targeted from within a 30-mile radius of Cardiff.

The school will also have an 1,800 seat multi-function hall with an atrium and learning spaces to support vocational training, such as construction.

Sporting facilities at the 1,500 pupil school include a 25m four lane swimming pool, four multi-use games areas and grass and 3G/mutli-use sport pitches.

The school is scheduled for completion in time for the 2022/23 academic year.

Third day in a row going swimming 🏊🏻‍♀️🌊💪🏻🧜‍♀️!! The best thing I can do for my mental health; most of the time, my head is a very noisy place to be, always full of thoughts... but when I’m swimming, everything goes quiet and peaceful. Swimming is my personal meditation 🧘‍♀️ as well as the best physio. So happy and grateful to be back in the water after four years of my tubes, kidneys and infection stopping me... there’s no stopping me now! #wentswimmingtoday #thirddayinarow #nostoppingmenow💪 #personalmeditation #bestphysioever #swimmingismytheraphy🏊‍♀️ #swimmingislife #swimmingmakesmehappy #palliativecarewarrior #mentalhealthwarrior #swimmingisselfcare (at Dw Fitness Leckwith) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0dPyWDh_d3/?igshid=1h0jjue2ugoxp

Another alarm rang, and the Rift monitors flashed. Toshiko whirled in her seat. ‘Uh oh. Energy spike in the Leckwith area. Something’s coming through …’ Owen joined her. ‘I recognise that energy signature. It’s the Hokrala lawyers. They’re sending another writ.’ ‘Let’s go, everybody,’ Jack said loudly, clapping his hands for attention. ‘Welcoming party to the SUV now. Full kit. Let’s go!’ He headed for the exit, grabbing his coat as he left, long strides carrying him to the cog-wheel door. He didn’t even look back. He knew the others would be right behind him.
