In little Wales we've had the disappearance of little April Jones (less than 15 miles form where we live) plus the dreadful house fire in Prestatyn (now a murder charge) and the frightening series of hit and run collisions in Cardiff - all in the past month!

I suppose it would be viewed as cowardly to avoid news items altogether but the temptation to do so is immense. <br />It is after all, not as if we could in any way influence events for the better.
