Cwm-yr-Eglwys, Pembrokeshire, West Wales The TV programme Countryfile regularly features places in Wales so we were pleased to see Cwm-yr-Eglwys along the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path. Thankfully, it wasn’t cold enough for icicles on the bench like in the programme, but we were still thankful for our waterproofs tucked away in the boot of the car. A beautiful blue sky and bright sunshine so a perfect day to see the stunning end wall of the tiny church, all that’s left after the storm in 1886 that washed away half of the graveyard and the bulk of the church.

cinema screening at Theatr Mwldan in Cardigan, Ceredigion, Wales Murder on the Orient Express We were looking forward to this but were a bit concerned as some reviews were less than enthusiastic about the latest version. Armed with munchies and a drink (as you are now allowed to take these into most cinemas and theatres) we settled in to our comfy seats to see for ourselves. Stunning scenes at the beginning with very impressive computer-generated city skyline and colourful market squares crowded with noisy throngs of people – sounds a bit poetic but that is the impression you immediately get. Once on the train, the luxurious classy Orient Express, you are transported to a wonderful journey across vast plains and powerful snow-covered mountains, though clearly not a real landscape. It truly is a star-studded cast, many familiar faces and a bewitching Poirot whose moustache is mesmerizing – is it real? Is it stuck on? Does it matter? The film follows the original story clos...
