St David’s 2 lifts are infamous for being packed, and the prospect of waiting 10–15 minutes with a crying baby is far from appealing. Thankfully, there’s a great alternative just a few minutes…

Based on the beloved 1953 film starring Doris Day, this production transports audiences to the bustling frontier town of Deadwood, where the fearless yet hopelessly unrefined Calamity Jane is constantly mistaken for a man. While she revels in her tough-as-nails reputation, beneath her tough exterior, Calamity longs to embrace her femininity and be seen as more than just “one of the boys.” At the heart of the story is a tangled love triangle (or rather, love square) between Calamity (Carrie Hope…

Whilst pondering the passing of time, there’s a quick mnemonic to help you remember; ‘Spring forward, fall back’ or as I say ‘March forward, fall back’ either way is helpful. Sunday 30 March 2025 at 1am, the clocks will be moved forward an hour to British Summer Time (BST). Yep, that means an hour less in bed unfortunately on mother’s day. There are perks to the change of clocks such as…

Leading accountancy and business advisory firm Hazlewoods is urging family-run businesses in Wales to start their succession plans now ahead of potentially ‘catastrophic’ Inheritance Tax changes. In Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ first Budget in October, she announced that from April 2026, the transfer of business assets worth over £1 million will be charged to Inheritance Tax at an effective rate of 20%. Although the first £1million remains exempt, the impact this will have on family-run businesses is expected to be significant. The business relief that previously existed allows privately held companies to be passed between generations without Inheritance Tax being levied.…

Research from Volkswagen Financial Services (VWFS) found that while 48 percent of employees want a salary sacrifice scheme for EV vehicles, less than a third (32 percent) of employers actually offer it. Salary sacrifice schemes remove any upfront costs for purchasing an EV and typically include insurance, maintenance and breakdown cover, making it an easy way of transitioning to an EV for many. From a financial perspective, schemes provide tax efficiencies for all involved,…
