Ten years ago, I started studying at Swansea University.

Since properly leaving South Wales four years later, after completing a postgraduate diploma at Cardiff University, I have only been back to Swansea once, which was in 2010.

On the 10th anniversary of moving there, I returned to Swansea last weekend, visiting the city, Mumbles and the Gower peninsula with my mum and dog.
