Why have a wedding video? Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. After months of planning and preparation your wedding day is over in a flash! That’s why it’s so important to catch all the memories, every whisper, every look, every tear.In today’s weddings the video plays such an important role that it even rivals the wedding photos taken. Yet that being so, the wedding video is usually the last thing planned but the first thing you want.

It was a bit wet yesterday but we still really enjoyed visiting the Hack Horse Sanctuary for their Open Day. It was lovely to see all the animals looked after in such an idyllic setting.

I always admire people who give up their time, and show such dedication to charity work, and Pamela Bluck has done a grand job with this sanctuary. Visit their website at www.hackonline.org.uk for more information.

I’m off to my Welsh class now. Welsh isn’t the easiest of languages to learn but I’m determined to stick at it so I’m off to Viv’s class in the Branching Out Group at St Giles School.

For anyone learning Welsh a great resource is the BBC website here. Hwyl fawr!

Wrexham Musical Theatre Society will soon be performing a mystery play and an added light buffet is included to round off the evening. There is going to be a murder, but who did it and who gets murdered? An added interest is trying to guess - there will be a reward if someone gets the questions right!

The event will take place at Wrexham Musical Theatre Society, 1, Salop Road, Wrexham (opposite Matalan) from Thursday, 29th May/Sat. 31st May, commencing at 7.30 p.m. Tickets are £10 (including the buffet) and £8. for concessions, which are available by ringing 356094.

Just a reminder folks that the new road around the Eagles Meadow development will be closed to through traffic for four days from today. Wilson Bowden Ltd are dismantling one of the large cranes that they have been using since early on in the construction of the site.

If you are travelling into Wrexham along the A525 Salop Road you will be diverted along St Giles Way and around the A5152 inner ring road. There will still be access to Caia Road, Rivulet Road and Mount Street.

 The road won’t close until after 9.30am this morning and will re-open on Thursday.

Wrexham is one of the top three ‘bling’ towns in the UK according to a new survey.

The poll for Halifax Home Insurance revealed that Britons keep £52 billion worth of jewellery in their homes - with the average house containing gems worth £1,986.

The survey found 34 million of us wear jewellery worth an estimated £8.6 billion every day and 11 per cent of Britons own more than £5,000 worth.

Northampton topped the league table of “bling” towns with the average person there wearing £469 of jewellery every day, closely followed by Glasgow locals, who adorn themselves with £468 worth, and Wrexham residents, who wear gems valued at £460.

England’s capital came 9th in the poll, with Londoners wearing £286 of jewellery.

Bottom of the table was Swansea, where the average person wears £282 worth.

The research also showed that in some areas people are more like magpies - collecting and storing high value jewellery inside their homes.

Top magpie town is Milton Keynes where, it is claimed, the average home contains £3,186 worth of gems. This is followed by Preston, where homeowners boast £3,001 worth, and Northampton with £2,919.

Got stuck behind a bin lorry outside Victoria Road School yesterday. The driver parked well out from the curb ensuring that he blocked the traffic in both directions. If he’d parked just a couple of feet closer to the curb we could have got past. This isn’t he first time this has happened either - drivers of these lorries seem to completely disregard other road users and couldn’t care less if parking just past a parked car would allow other drivers to pass. They also seem to expect all other road users to give way to them and there is never a raised hand to say thank you. Oh and they drive at speed IN REVERSE down my road despite the fact that children play there regularly. Are they human or robots? Or just plain ignorant? Is it just me that they annoy? Please leave your comments…
