Very nice meal indeed.

This candle would definitely make a gorgeous Christmas present for someone you love (and maybe add in a sneaky order for yourself too!)

Anyone who knows me, will know that I love a good, scented candle. I’m not a fan of the big, mass-produced brands though. It goes without saying that you get what you pay for, and this is certainly the case with candles. Who wants a room filled with that sickly, paraffin, chemical smell? Not me.

Lockdown blues? Perhaps a Welsh roadtrip would dust off the cobwebs. A drive through mid Wales (no need to stop) and enjoy a mini break at Bodysgallen Hall. It's one of our favourites, and if you are a foodie... wow, you're in for a treat.

Standing in award-winning gardens and parkland to the south of Llandudno with spectacular views of Snowdonia and Conwy Castle, Bodysgallen Hall provides all that is best in country house hospitality and is the ideal hotel for a winter escape. Here are some outdoor and indoor moments to experience th...

When Just The Tide Went Out'

Last night as I lay sleeping
When dreams came fast to me
I dreamt I saw JERUSALEM
Beside a tideless sea
And one dream I’ll remember
As the stars began to fall
Was Banksy painting Alun Wyn
On my neighbour’s garage wall
And dreams like that sustain me
Till these darkest times have past
And chase away the shadows
No caring night should cast
But times like this can shine a light
As hardship often can
To see the best in people
And the good there is in man
And I remember Swansea with nobody about
When the shops were closed like Sunday
And just the tide went out

And I remember Mumbles with the harbour in its keep
And the fishing boats at anchor that trawl the waters deep
And I heard the seabirds calling
As the gulls all wheeled about
But all the town was sleeping now
And just the tide went out

And when these days are over
And memories remain
Of children painting Rainbows
When the sun shone through the rain
And I thought of all the nurses who stretchered all the pain
And I hope they never get to see a time like this again
And I prayed last week for Boris
Who knocked on Heavens door
And I thought of voting Tory, which I’ve never done before
And though the sun is shining now I’ve no immediate plans
So I’ll write a book on ‘Staying In’ and ‘Ways To Wash Your Hands’
And I’ll remember mornings with nobody about
When the shops were closed like Sunday
And just the tide went out.
