Wales

Wails from Wales 

Wales, essentially now a political blemish on the face of the well-known landscape of the west of England due to the workings of the Welsh Assembly, is a place most people in the rest of Britain don’t give a hoot about.

Middle Age

The Perils of Middle Age

Youth is famously wasted on the young, while old age comes to us all. But their distant cousin, middle age, may be the worst and the least-forgiving of the three acts of the lifespan. Trapped: no longer a child, yet unable to throw off the shackles of responsibility and give up caring completely, middle age
