We All Live Here
by Jojo Moyes
Bestselling author Lila Kennedy shares her large, quirky London house with her two daughters, Believed and Violet, her widowed stepfather Bill, Truant the errant dog, and… Gene, her biological father, who arrives unexpectedly.
Lila’s errant husband has deserted her and the girls, leaving heartbreak in his wake, not to mention endless expensive plumbing problems, which keep Lila from writing her next novel, which will pay her plumbing bills.
Life rambles on, punctuated by school pick-ups where she meets handsome parent, Gabriel, and by garden ‘rescuing’ done by Bill's friend, Jensen.
Meanwhile, when teenage Celie feels isolated at school, Gene comes to her aid and, despite causing domestic disharmony, is a star at Violet's school too.
As Lila forges a path between fathers and eligible men, Bill's health causes concern and threatens to upend their lives. Will they find a way forward?

Welsh Cakes: The Sweet Heart of St David’s Day
On 1 March each year, Wales celebrates its patron saint, Saint David — and alongside the da odils and red dragons, one humble treat takes centre stage: the Welsh cake.
Known in Welsh as picau ar y maen, meaning “cakes on the stone,” Welsh cakes have been part of everyday life in Wales for generations. Traditionally cooked on a flat cast-iron bakestone over the fire, they were practical bakes made from simple ingredients: flour, butter, sugar, eggs, and dried fruit. In mining communities and rural homes, they were inexpensive, filling and easy to prepare — a small luxury in hard-working households.
Unlike scones, which are baked in an oven, Welsh cakes are griddled, giving them their distinctive texture — crisp on the outside, soft within. That small di erence makes them uniquely Welsh, a culinary detail proudly passed down through families. Recipes vary slightly from region to region: some add mixed spice or nutmeg, others prefer currants over sultanas, and a few insist they must be eaten warm, sprinkled generously with caster sugar.
Their link to St David’s Day is rooted in community tradition. Schools, chapels and local celebrations often serve Welsh cakes as part of the festivities. Children dressed in traditional Welsh costume carry them proudly, alongside bunches of da odils and leeks — both national symbols of Wales. The cakes are easy to make in batches, travel well and, perhaps most importantly, evoke a sense of warmth and nostalgia. For many, the scent of sugar and spice on a bakestone drifting through the kitchen is the true aroma of early spring.
More than a sweet treat, Welsh cakes represent home, heritage and quiet national pride — a simple recipe that continues to bind generations across Wales.
Story Behind The Song
History – Dinas Powys Truant by Shirley Hodges
On a fine Saturday afternoon in April 1899, Dinas Powys found itself at the centre of a major moment in local education history. Ladies and gentlemen from Barry, Cardiff and the surrounding district gathered for the opening of the new Truant Boys’ School, built jointly by the Cardiff and Barry School Boards. For a village more used to quiet lanes and country views, it must have felt like quite an event.
The ceremony had a touch of theatre. The Rev. F.J. Beck, chairman of the Joint Truant School Committee, was presented with a gilt key in a special case, complete with an inscription. He duly declared the school open and went to unlock the door, only to find it already ajar, raising a ripple of amusement among the visitors. After inspecting the buildings, the guests assembled in the schoolroom alongside councillors, doctors, clergy and school board officials from both Barry and Cardiff.
Mr J. Lowdon, chairman of the Barry School Board, joked that some visitors were so impressed by the building that they were tempted to become truants themselves. Laughter followed, but the speeches quickly turned serious. The Rev. Beck spoke about the progress of education in Wales, while warning that attendance levels lagged behind England. Truant schools, he said, were a last resort, not a punishment for its own sake, but a way of pulling boys back from the edge of complete non-attendance. Experience elsewhere suggested that boys who barely turned up to school could be transformed into regular attendees. Better attendance
School
also meant better funding, with even small improvements bringing extra government grants. The building itself was proudly described as modern and wellequipped. Set on an elevated eight-acre site near the railway station, it was surrounded by an eight-foot boundary wall and arranged around a central quadrangle used as a playground. Inside were dormitories, classrooms, workshops, kitchens, baths, laundries and even a small infirmary set apart from the main block. The school was heated and run by steam power, had fire hydrants fitted and could accommodate up to 120 boys. Security features limited how far windows could open and ensured close supervision of dormitories at night. It was officially certified for use on 21 April 1899 under the Industrial Schools and Elementary Education Acts.
Seven years later, in 1906, the building was put to an unexpected test. A fire broke out in the boiler house when beams near the flue caught alight, filling the area with smoke and flames. Rather than evacuating the boys, the response was very much of its time. The lads, who were trained in fire drill, were turned out with hoses and put to work tackling the blaze themselves. Under the direction of the superintendent, Mr Wilcox, and the schoolmaster, Mr Black, they fought the fire for around an hour until it was finally extinguished.
Today, that incident feels shocking. Modern safeguarding would demand immediate evacuation, not the deployment of children to fight a fire. But it offers a telling glimpse into Edwardian attitudes to discipline, training and risk. Dinas Powys Truant School, built with confidence and good intentions in 1899, soon became a place where boys were expected not only to attend school, but to face danger head-on in the name of order and duty.From the exotic promise of Thompson Street’s saloons to the extraordinary life of the World Champion Hairdresser Harry Lacey Provis, they remind us that the barber’s chair was often occupied not just by customers but by history itself. At the end of it all, as a barber might have cheerfully called to a satisfied client leaving the chair: “Something for the weekend Sir?”
Saturday Night Fever: The History of the Discothèque in the UK
Before superclubs and celebrity DJs, there was the discothèque the heart of British nightlife for decades. Long before streaming playlists and social media, the UK dance oor was where trends were born, friendships formed, and Saturday nights meant something.
The discothèque arrived in Britain in the 1950s and early 60s, inspired by clubs in France and the US. Instead of live bands, venues hired someone to play records and keep people dancing. This felt fresh, allowing clubs to experiment with sound and create a seamless musical ow.
By the late 1960s, discothèques appeared across London, Manchester and seaside towns. Youth culture boomed. Fashion and music evolved rapidly from soul and Motown to funk and early dance records. The DJ’s role grew; they read the room and built energy.
The 1970s brought the true golden era.
Disco fever swept the UK, fuelled by American hits and home-grown enthusiasm. Clubs embraced glitter, mirror balls and dramatic lighting. London venues like The Embassy Club and Scotch of St James drew fashionable crowds, while regional nightclubs ourished as local hubs.
Saturday night at the disco became a ritual. People queued in platform shoes and ared trousers, dressed to impress. Dance oors lled with swirling lights and thumping bass. Donna Summer, the Bee Gees, and Chic mixed with British soul and pop for an electric atmosphere. It was glamour and grit, especially in working-class towns where the discothèque was the week’s highlight.
The DJ became a star. DJs experimented with mixing and extended versions. Sound systems improved, lighting became more elaborate, and the mirror ball symbolised the era. A good DJ kept the crowd moving, creating a shared, hypnotic pulse.
By the early 1980s, musical tastes shifted. Disco evolved into new dance music, and Britain again led the charge. Manchester became a cultural epicentre. The Haçienda, opened in 1982, later de ned a generation and became synonymous with house music and the acid house movement of the late 80s. The discothèque had transformed.
If the 70s were about glamour and glitter, the late 80s and early 90s focused on underground sounds and warehouse spaces. Electronic beats, synthesised rhythms and longer DJ sets created a new experience. The focus remained rhythm, release, community but the soundtrack evolved.
Ibiza’s in uence shaped UK nightlife. Holidaymakers brought Balearic beats and open-air clubbing back to cities like London, Birmingham and Leeds. Superclubs such as Ministry of Sound emerged, cementing the UK’s global reputation in dance culture.
Fashion shifted with the music from sequins and satin to sportswear and minimalist club style. Nightlife trends re ected wider culture. The dance oor remained a place of reinvention.
Today, the word “discothèque” may feel nostalgic conjuring images of glitter balls and vinyl decks but its DNA runs through every British nightclub and festival stage. From local town venues to global DJ residencies, the foundation was laid decades ago in those early record-spinning rooms.
At its core, the UK discothèque was never just about music. It was about anticipation the build-up during the week, the transformation on a Saturday night, the collective energy when the bass kicked in. It gave generations a soundtrack to their youth.
And whether it’s a retro disco night in a village hall or a packed dance oor in central London, that feeling still lives on lights low, music loud, and everyone moving to the same beat.

Protecting Your Family’s Inheritance
Most people hope that their estate will pass on to their loved ones eventually. But this will not happen for many unless careful arrangements have been made to protect their assets from being taken towards the end of their life to pay for care home fees. e solution to help protect your estate is a Will incorporating a Property Protection Trust (PPT). A testamentary PPT can only be executed whilst both partners remain alive. Upon death of the rst partner, their Will speci es that their share of the property is placed into trust and names the ultimate bene ciary of this share, normally the children of the deceased. e surviving partner, under the terms of the Trust, has the unequivocal right to remain living in the property for the rest of their life. On the death of the second partner the Trust comes to an end and the property passes to the bene ciaries. As the surviving partner does not own the deceased's share of the property it is fully protected for the bene ciaries, so if the surviving partner requires care, or even remarries, this share of the children's inheritance is protected. is last point can be of particular interest to couples who have come together but have children from di erent partners. A PPT can help each person in a relationship ensure that their children inherit their share of the property, while giving their surviving partner the ability to live in the property for the rest of their life. If the surviving partner wants to move to another property they can still sell the property and the proceeds be used to purchase a new property; the terms of the trust remain over the new property.
Westminster Law will assess your current circumstances and arrange the trust that will provide the best protection for you, your family and your assets.

Event type: Whale & Dolphin Conservation - Bernard Purrier
Date: 8th April 2026
Time: 2:00 PM
Venue: Cowbridge Town Hall - Main Hall
Cetaceans – Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises. The largest and most intelligent group of sea-based mammals are at the top of their food chain. This talk gives lots of fascinating facts, a look at their evolution, their behaviours linked to their advanced intelligence, the ways in which they have adapted to their environment, the increasing threats to their habitats that threaten their ultimate survival, and the actions that WDC are taking to protect them.
Cetaceans resemble humans more closely than the sh that surround them – does this go some way to explaining the interest that so many humans seem to have in them? Do they really seek out human company and interact with us? And why do their major threats emanate from humans?
Bernard Purrier has been speaking about Wildlife, Marine Life and the Marine Environment for sixteen years, following a UK career in Clinical Microbiology in the NHS, research at Southampton Medical School and then joining the Pharmaceutical Industry as a Commercial Development Manager for SW England. He retired early from GlaxoSmithKline [GSK] at 55 and then spent time with an international charity, Whale & Dolphin Conservation.[WDC]
He now presents regularly to a wide variety of groups, including both schools and adult audiences throughout the UK & also as a Cruise Enrichment Lecturer with several cruise companies.
His other interests are the Roman occupation of Britain and live music.

The Eye of the Sahara: Earth’s Giant Bullseye in the Sands of Mauritania
Deep in the Mauritanian Sahara lies one of the most mesmerising natural wonders on Earth — the Eye of the Sahara, or Richat Structure. This enormous circular formation is so striking it can be seen from space, resembling a giant bullseye carved into the desert.
Stretching around 40 kilometres (25 miles) across, the Eye is made up of concentric rings of rock forming a near-perfect circle in the middle of an endless golden landscape. It’s so distinctive that astronauts have used it as a landmark while orbiting Earth, a natural compass etched into shifting sands. For years, scientists were ba ed by it.
A Geological Mystery
When rst studied in the early 20th century, researchers believed it must have been caused by a meteorite impact. The circular shape and raised rim certainly suggested it. However, there was no evidence of shock minerals or melted rock — features normally found after a massive collision. Further research revealed the truth. The Eye of the Sahara is actually a deeply eroded geological dome. Millions of years ago, molten rock pushed upward beneath the Earth’s surface but never erupted. Instead, it caused surrounding rock layers to bulge. Over time, wind and erosion stripped away the softer rock, leaving the harder layers behind in dramatic circular rings.
Rather than a violent impact, it is the result of slow, natural forces working patiently over vast stretches of geological time.
A Landscape with History
The region surrounding the Eye is stark and beautiful, with sweeping horizons and dramatic light that changes throughout the day. Ancient rocks here date back hundreds of millions of years, and fossils reveal that this desert was once covered by prehistoric seas. It’s di cult to imagine waves where dunes now drift beneath the Saharan sun.
Nearby lies the historic town of Ouadane, once part of major trans-Saharan trade routes. Caravans carrying salt, gold and textiles passed through this region centuries ago, connecting North and West Africa and shaping the cultural history of the area.
Myths and Wonder
Because of its circular design, some have suggested a link to the legend of Atlantis, whose mythical city was described as having rings of land and water. While there is no scienti c evidence for this theory, the resemblance continues to fuel imagination and intrigue.
The Eye of the Sahara stands as a reminder of Earth’s immense power and patience. What appears to be a perfectly engineered design is simply nature at work — shaping, eroding and re ning the landscape over millions of years.
Hidden in the heart of the desert, it remains vast, silent and extraordinary — a timeless masterpiece sculpted by the planet itself.
