The Power of The PomegranateBeauty by Mrs C - November 12, 2010January 28, 2011Who'd have thought that the humble, weird-looking pomegranate would one day be one of the most sought after ingredients in ladies skincare products?

Kia SportageTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mrs C - August 28, 2010January 12, 2015Last year Mr. C. wrote about the Sportage but try as I might I find it difficult to think of more than about 2 sentences I can say about any car.Basically a car gets me from A to B and I don't really think about the car once I'm in it or to be honest before I get in it either.Yes I notice funky-looking cute
Thistle Hotel CardiffCardiff and WalesTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mrs C - June 14, 2010September 4, 2017The Champagne Bar On Saturday we went out to The Champagne Bar in The Cardiff Thistle for lunch.
