Christmas Wreath
Many years ago a lovely lady called Pauline started to run a Holly Wreath Class in the community hall of Llanasa. She advertised it through the W.I. and it was incredibly popular. Obviously, being near Christmas, the weather was cold, and the hall was equally cold and totally charmless! We huddled...
Pumpkin Carving
It was David’s birthday on the 30th and so we took the opportunity for a ‘family meal’ with his brother, Stuart, and his fiancée, Amy. We walked across to a local hotel – Plas Ifan, Northop Hall – and had a fabulous meal and whilst there Amy was compelled to buy one of their...

Wildlife through my window
We live in a lovely part of North Wales and have lots of fields surrounding our house. We enjoy watching all our visitors and thought I’d just mention a few of them here. For a couple of evenings we had the tubs of bird seed knocked over and the lids removed – they’re big, heavy tubs so...
