Do you like my Christmas Toenails? I know that in my post about Christmas decorations yesterday I promised you Christmas cake today, but I’ve decided to leave that post until I’ve decorated the second cake, so you’ll have to make do with Christmas toenails today instead – Cake, Toenails? Not quite the same I know,...
I’ve heard quite a bit about shaving subscriptions lately as Harry’s are always advertising on the various podcasts that I listen to. The idea sounded good, but maybe I was being taken in by the advertising. According to the adverts, with these shaving subscriptions, you get a nice razor handle in your first package of the subscription...
Up go the Christmas decorations, so “It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas”!!! Christmas Decorations After my birthday ‘celebrations’ yesterday it was time to put up the Christmas decorations.

As usual before Christmas, we head to the South West to see my family and go out for a Christmas meal. This year it was at the Winter Stream Farm not far from Winterbourne. We set off from Aberystwyth after work on Friday, just a little later than usual as Morgan now has a cornet lesson...
