The Blog Returns!

Well Christmas and the New Year is over and so I return to start up the blog for another year. Good to see some stalwarts of the blogsphere have been keeping up the postings in my absence. Some would describe these as political geeks. Others, myself included, would refer to them as the lifeblood of the blogsphere in Wales.

If there have been any new blogs started over the festive period please let me know by leaving a comment or emailing me at welshblogindex@hotmail.co.uk

Christmas Break

The Blog will be out of action until the NEw Year. Sorry for the inconvinience but I have a lot of shopping to do!

Merry Christmas to all who follow the blog.
