Welcome friends .
My name is Owen and I am the host of Time between Times podcast . It’s a show all about stories and soul and is written to help you relax and lose yourselves in a tide of tales . Please tell your friends and enjoy .
This may be unpopular? this maybe controversial? this maybe against the grain ? But I absolutely Love the new BBC adaptation of A Christmas Carol. I love it and I have seen a few Christmas Carols and I’ve told a few Christmas carols in my time .Congratulations
#ChristmasCarol
Some strange noises from the attic over Christmas .Expecting rodents or rot I ventured up the rickety ladder into the darkness above . Peering in the gloom I came upon the cause of the commotion and my worst fear incarnate.

Years ago as a wide eyed and impressionable young Lad I spent many hours carving Jack O lanterns out of swedes .When I mentioned this to
@churchill_alex
today she laughed like I was some sort of psychopath . Please speak up if you also made the Jack o swede ?. I’m not alone
I’m 51 today .
I’m lucky to have loads of lovely friends and a wonderful family . I try each day to put something positive into the world and to help others where I can . I’m far from perfect but am very comfortable in my own skin . I am creative and try to be kind . I am happy
What a beautiful read this is .

Can remember as a child being told by my Nana “ never place your shoes facing your bed , it invites the Devil to join you at night “. I was terrified .

A bittersweet day today as I worked my last shift as a Police officer with
@DyfedPowys
after almost 20 years . A big change ahead and a new challenge awaits . Onwards and upwards

Built in 1658 when Britain was a republic and Cromwell was its protector . This is now the saddest sight in Christendom. The Dulais Rock Inn . Just falling to pieces .
An awful day today as our Beautiful Dog Maggie crossed the Rainbow bridge after a brief illness . A gorgeous soul and wonderful companion I will miss her with all my Heart .

Really enjoyed episode 7 of The Witch farm by
@danny_robins
on
@BBCSounds
. Brecon at night is an amazingly magical place and I know from experience how otherworldly it can be . Great to hear such a quality show bring it to life . The Ghosts of Powys deserve it

Done a lot of reflecting this week . Almost two years ago I made a huge change that took me out of a horrible environment where I was truly unhappy . Life is so much better now . Wonderful family . Amazing friends and positivity all around me . Make that change friends

Congratulations to my wonderful Son Elis who makes me proud every day .Today more than ever he achieved wonderful things when he absolutely smashed his exams to gain amazing grades . Onwards an upwards x
A year ago I left employment which I had been in for twenty years . I was woefully unhappy for a number of reasons . The last year has not been all plain sailing but I am in a far better place personally and creatively and feel so much better . Take that opportunity everyone ...
My Grandmother used to tell me to never place my shoes facing the Bed as it would invite the Devil to join me in there . Terrified me as a child .
#folklorethursday
@FolkloreThurs
Two years ago today I made the move from a place where I was miserable. I have not looked back once . If you are unhappy make the move . If things are not great take that chance . Life is to short not to be happy . Love x

A Welsh Boxing Day tradition was called Holming . Involved beating the arms of young girls or the last person who got up on Boxing Day morning with branches of Holly until they bled . This died out in the early twentieth century . Thank God .
