Busy Weekend at the Castle

Last night was the Help for Heroes concert, Amalgamation Reunited - and I understand that all 500 tickets were sold for it. I saw the marquees when I passed earlier in the day, and heard someone practicing. I haven't met anyone who actually went to it yet, but it seems to have been successful.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Castle, up the steps, signboards were appearing. This is part of the 350 campaign to take action on climate change, and the steps up to the castle were an ideal way of showing what happens when the CO2 emissions in the atmosphere get higher and higher.
It's part of the International Climate Day of Action - there are 15 others going on all over Wales, and one in Hereford which is part of 150 events in the UK.
'350' is the parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere that campaigners see as the safe limit, before global warming spirals out of control. Events like this are being held all through the run up to the UN climate talks at Copenhagen in December.
Photos from all the events round the world will be given to the UN, and will also be displayed on the big screen in Times Square in New York.

I couldn't get to this event either - a friend dropped in for a cup of tea.
