Spot the Ghouls**t
Why not join me in a mystery, myth and ghost story walk of Aberystwyth? It’s a ghost walk with a twist. Which stories are true and which are false?…you are the judge!

The smell of woodsmoke and masala chai
It was the International Ceramic Festival this week end. I was lucky enough to be working on my daughter’s Chai Bike stall. Well, to be honest I wasn’t doing much work- she was though! She sold out in 1.5hrs on day two. It is a great festival; orange, drama and alchemy. Potters like a bit…

I call my burgeoning business a side-hustle, as it starts to build. May I say a big thanks to Foxhill Preserves for supplying me with…

It is jellyfish time
Jellyfish are a Cardigan Bay visitor. I love to look at them but personally I am a bit freaky when I encounter them swimming. Most are completely harmless. This one is a compass jellyfish, as it has radiating lines come from it’s dish; like a compass. I stumbled across some lovely pink glittery tiles and…

I’ve got merch!
It had to come to it, didn’t it? If I am at the Eisteddfod in August, I’ve got to have some low cost items to sell. So merchandise it is! I can’t believe I am saying this! On the 5th-6th August if you are visiting Tregaron, Eisteddfod, bring your purse. All merch is under a…
