Our Book & Bottle book of the month for January is Wild Houses by Colin Barrett. I’ve brought it on a long weekend in Anglesey with the intention of smashing the whole thing in. Haven’t even looked at the first page yet. Plenty of time though. Copies in the shop if you want one!

Oh and just because no new social media account is complete without a picture of a cat or a dog, here’s my lovely girl Rachael inspecting my wine while we snuggle with the electric blanket.
