Heb Gwallt
It’s gone… Not missing it yet, although I have gone to move my hair a few times only to be met with a furry lump!! Thanks for the tip John, it is really cold round the edges outside, I have a nice warm hat on standby !

Hair today…
Gone on Friday!! I spent yesterday (the parts that I wasn’t roofing a barn or wiring a childrens play area or welding) trying to convince the others at Amelia Farm that they really shouldn’t cut my hair with either the lawnmower, a pair of loppers, or a wood saw. In the end, the photo for…

Clean Shaved
There comes a time in a man’s life when he questions the future of his hair’s existence, (i.e. he is starting to thin) Of course his wife, not having the same problem is overjoyed by the idea of transformation from long haired hippy to bald coot. So started the idea of removing it and getting…

Snow – The Gift of a Day
As the single flake fell, the newscasters and weather reporters gasped and reached for their cameras to record the moment the first ever flake of snow fell on Britain – Because it never snows here does it? Well only every year. Once a year, pretty much give or take we get one good snow fall.…

Itchy feet
No, not athletes foot… We all went off to North Wales last week to see a possible place for a title parish. I had already visited the vicar to see if it would be possible, but this was a longer visit with time to reflect on the town. A small place, much like Caernarfon, a…

Cantemus
Cantemus is a chamber choir, they are based in Wales and sang in the college chapel at the end of term. The music they produced was fantastic, it really touched the soul. Something about unaccompanied voices is so enchanting it grips the imagination and forces you out of yourself. This was especially evident in one…
