Home is where the art is Dave & Lise Roberts have turned their love of art into an exciting venture by opening a new contemporary art and craft gallery at their fine country house home in North Wales. It opens Easter Saturday at Glasfryn Hall in the historic town of Caerwys, North Wales. The only independent art gallery in North East Wales, Oriel Glasfryn Gallery will showcase work by the finest artists and makers from Wales. All mediums will be represented including painting, jewellery, ceramics, sculpture, glass, textiles, wood and metalwork. There are two spaces. A purpose-built contemporary gallery (converted from the Hall’s former cart shed) which will accommodate the work of around 40 artists at any one time and will be open all year. Glasfryn Hall itself will be opened during the summer and winter months for special exhibitions, allowing even more artists to be represented, this time in the much more domestic and intimate setting of a family home. All capped off with the most stunning views of the Clwydian Hills. Dave and Lise moved to Glasfryn Hall three years ago with the express purpose of running it both as a family home and a ‘cultural’ arts destination. Dave gave up his full-time job as Chief Executive of a London-based charity to pursue his dream of becoming a fulltime artist four years ago. Oriel Glasfryn Gallery takes the couple’s vision for promoting Welsh art to the next level. Dave specialises in pastel paintings of Snowdonia and North Wales and Oriel Glasfryn Gallery will house a permanent display of his increasingly popular and collectable work. ‘We have been overwhelmed by the support we have received from the artist community, and it is a real honour to have the opportunity to showcase their

work, we feel like we are the custodians of some really special items and it’s a pleasure to share that with visitors” said the couple. So many people have a strong connection with North Wales, whether that’s enjoying the hills, mountains and beaches as day-trippers or perhaps they’ve got a second home here. Oriel Glasfryn Gallery will bring the best original art from across Wales to the gallery which is just a stone’s throw from the Cheshire border and easily accessible from North and Mid-Wales and the whole of North West England Oriel Glasfryn Gallery will be more than your average ‘high street’ gallery, not just by virtue of its fabulous and unusual setting but also because Dave and Lise will offer private viewings, vouchers, wedding list services and helping people to choose the perfect gift for any special occasion. “The last two years have been really hard for so many people”, say Dave and Lise. “Artists and craftspeople have suffered particularly badly, as they are almost always self-employed, oneperson bands who struggle to get their work out there at the best of times. Few have been eligible for any kind of financial support during the pandemic and with all the outlets for their work closed and customers staying at home during lockdown, things have been tough. If Oriel Glasfryn Gallery can help create new opportunities for some of them to promote and sell their work, then we will have achieved something special.” Oriel Glasfryn Gallery opens on 16th April.

About Oriel Glasfryn Gallery Founded in 2022, Oriel Glasfryn Gallery is the only independent art gallery in North-East Wales. Showcasing the finest original Welsh art and craft including paintings, jewellery, ceramics, sculpture, glass, textiles, wood and metalwork the gallery supports artists based in Wales or with a strong Welsh connection. There are two spaces. A purpose-built contemporary gallery (converted from the Hall’s former cart shed) will accommodate the work of around 40 artists at any one time and will be open all year. Glasfryn Hall itself will be opened during the summer and winter months for special exhibitions, allowing even more artists to be represented, this time in the much more domestic and intimate setting of a family home. Located in the historic town of Caerwys, just off the A55 North Wales Express Way, it is easily accessible from North and Mid Wales, as well as all of North West England.

The Simple Mirror Will: Should it be that Simple? By Emily Littlehales, Celtic Law Ltd This is my first article in a publication like this, so I hope you will bear with me as I find my feet. I thought I would start us off with a note about Wills. Wills are very personal and one size will not fit all, hence why it is important to get it right. When I meet with my clients to discuss their Wills, I ask ‘how do you see your Will working?’ or ‘What do you want to happen?’ Most will respond with ‘we want everything to go to one another, and then to our children when we both die’. This is the classic Simple Mirror Will. Though it is seemingly popular, and it is the first Will Structure that will spring to mind during our initial chats - it may surprise you that I don’t do many Simple Wills. Clients frequently express concern about the following: • What would happen if one of us go into care? • What about children from a previous relationship? How can I guarantee their inheritance?

• What if the survivor remarries? Will the new spouse inherit from me too? If like many of my clients, you are concerned with any of the above then a Simple Will may not be the best option. A conversation about Wills is the starting point of making sure that your lifetime wealth is protected in the right way - for the right people. This may involve using a Trust in your Will. We want to strike a balance between protecting you and protecting your assets for the next generation. It also needs to be done in the safest possible way so that it does not leave you vulnerable. This is what a Will Trust can do, and this is what we are here to help you with at Celtic Law Ltd. The right Will for you depends on your goals and where you are in life – we can help you work that out. For some, a simple Will is absolutely suitable but it is good to know your options.

We are specialists in making Wills and advising clients in all areas of Estate Planning. We also offer bereavement services too. I am a fully qualified solicitor and Celtic Law Ltd is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. I am assisted by my Paralegal, Frankie Turnbull. I like to think we are friendly and welcoming here at Celtic Law Ltd. We have ground floor offices at Florence House in Mold with easy parking, and we also make a good cuppa! Thank you for taking the time to read my article. If it has given you some food for thought and you would like to know more, we would love to hear from you. 01352 860 890 hello@celtic-law.co.uk

Liberal Democrats our priorities for

Flintshire

Fair Funding for Flintshire. Flintshire’s funding is 19th out of 22 councils resulting in higher Council Tax bills and less money for essential public services. We will fight for a fair deal for Flintshire. Fight for better train and bus services. Rail commuters here pay twice as much as those in Cardiff, and poor bus services leave the elderly isolated. We will fight for increased investment and improved services.
