Heading off to its new home Arthur and the Golden Rope!

For those out there who know their Norse mythology this may ring a couple of bells… Arthur embarks on a daring adventure to save his town from the mythical wolf, Fenrir. Armed with a golden rope, he must face dangerous creatures and solve clever puzzles to succeed.

You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover… unless they are this beautiful ❤️

Say hi to the charity of the month for September The Breakfast Bothy!

Launched during the 2020 lockdown, their aim was to provide hot drinks and breakfast to those in need. It has since grown into a community hub, offering lunches, and a token scheme with local businesses for essential services.

Their mission is to be a welcoming spot for hot meals, friendly faces, and support, continually expanding to foster a healthy community.
