Words, when used correctly, are the most amazing things, and our bookshelves are populated by those who use them best. Take a closer look at this with me over @WelshCountry magazine here: welshcountry.co.uk/an-endless-con… Thanks, as always, go to @LittleWelshHen for the artwork!

At this time of 'the rolling year', as Dickens called it, the elements really take a starring role, something I take a closer look at along with @LittleWelshHen and @WelshCountry here: welshcountry.co.uk/elemental/

As autumn takes a firm hold, the last scraps of summer fade out over at @WelshCountry magazine here: welshcountry.co.uk/here-at-the-ra… hopefully captured in my words and the brushstrokes of @LittleWelshHen

Swing those hips and curl those lips; get your jumpsuits on and raise your quiffs, because it's time to walk in the company of the King...and the King.. and er...the King over @WelshCountry Magazine. welshcountry.co.uk/the-king-the-k… Thanks, as always, to @littlewelshhen for the artwork!

@Tide_Lines Excellent stuff. Glad to see you're visiting God's own country!

In this weather it's often the basic stuff that's the most fun, and often causes us to delve back into our childhood. Join me, @LittleWelshHen and all the fine folks @WelshCountry magazine as we do this in my latest piece, here: welshcountry.co.uk/adding-to-life…
