Hubster and I kicked off the day with an early morning road trip to Halen Môn in north Wales for a seaweed barrel bath.
The barrel itself was bliss: wonderfully warm, silky-smooth water infused with seaweed and oils. Forty-five minutes of floating and unwinding was exactly what we both needed…

Tonight I watched Russell Watson in concert. I went in as someone who wasn’t a huge fan — but what a show! The production was superb, his voice absolutely soared, and whole performance felt rich, warm, and beautifully put together.
Nancy May was fantastic, what a great voice. Absolutely loved it.

Why comedy is good for your mental health and wellbeing
We all know that feeling when laughter takes over – the kind where your cheeks ache, your belly hurts, and for a moment, the world feels a little lighter. Comedy isn’t just about entertainmen…
