** Reed Diffusers**

Reed Diffusers are back and better than ever!
Room filling scents that last on average at least 6 months.
Perfect for areas that don't have a power source or where naked flames aren't an option.

These make amazing gifts as they come gorgeously gift boxed.

I do refills too! If you fancied a change of scent when yours runs out, just wash out the glass container and come back for a bottle of refill and some fresh reeds. Good for the pocket and the environment. Win win!

These will increase in price, but for now, as an introductory offer - I am offering them at £25 each or buy 2 for £40. Perfect for birthday or Christmas gifts.
Scents available are -

After The Storm
Wild Rhubarb & Cinnamon
Enchanted Forest
Salted Caramel
Cleanse & Protect
Through the Veil

Order through the page - I can deliver locally or come and collect from the Shop - Cross Bank Chambers, High Street, Lydney GL15 5DL.
Will be lush to see you!

Such a lovely write up!! Its lush to see Nanny B's open again after such a long struggle for Kelly Davey and im so happy to have my workshop and creations for sale in there. Onwards and upwards and we are so excited to welcome everyone to our wellness hub! 🖤

Great news to all you crafters out there, Nanny B's and Creative Needles are both now reopen!

Kelly at Nanny B's has had a horrible time, being forced to close due to the floods in Lydney back in the Spring. She now has fabulous new premises in Lydney, opposite the town hall in Cross Bank House. Kelly stocks a lovely range of yarn, haberdashery in addition to some handmade gifts.

At Creative Needles , following Naomi's retirement, her daughter Shez has now taken on the business and has a host of goodies to tempt you, from hand embroidery to craft kits and haberdashery.

Please give these small businesses your support if you can, if we don't use them, we'll lose them forever!

Congratulations Kelly and Shez - I'll be in to see you both shortly 😊

The Swan Hotel in Wells, Somerset invites you to join them for an exclusive night of paranormal investigating at this historic hotel.

Dating back to 1422, what will you our intrepid investigator find?
Who haunts this beautiful hotel?

First, we will meet in the function room for a meet and greet with Karin and Lisa from the famous Jamaica Inn team, who will be your guides for the night, helped by the lovely Kim.

We will then sit down to eat our delicious two course meal and get to know each other, plus, discuss our plans for the night.
This is an interactive investigation. You will be placed into small groups and provided with a paranormal kit and information packs. Guided by us, you will investigate bedrooms 40, 41, 42, the Cathedral Suite, and later conduct experiments downstairs together.

During breaks, hot tea and coffee will be on laid out for you.
Be the first members of the public to help us uncover what lovely spirits still frequent the hotel.

Saturday 18th October
7pm to 2am.
£80pp
Includes a two-course meal.

Limit: one alcoholic drink per meal. We have a no alcohol drink policy after.
If you would really like to have a special night, why not book rooms 40, 41 and 42 to stay in after the investigation? (extra charges apply)

We only need access to those bedrooms from 8.30pm to midnight.
The hotel is also offering special rates to stay in any of their other hotel rooms, please enquire at reception for the cost.
Please ring 01749 836300 to book.
