On the radio
Rhodri had a great afternoon at Radio Cardiff where he chatted away to Jane Morris about his time so far as Mister Wales – the listeners were even lucky enough to catch a glimpse of him through the Radio Cardiff web cam! Mister Wales cannot wait to return for another catch up.
Shopping spree
