The hills are alive with the sound of robots
'Despite the interest in the robot, I suspect that the two shire horses shown by the Caernarfon Royal Welsh Ambassador, Rhys Griffiths will still steal the show. Shire horses were an integral part of farming life, and we are grateful to Rhys for bringing these majestic animals to Hafod y Llan.'

I'll Take My Jelly Shoes Bejewelled: Where To Buy The Cutest, Weirdest Summer Sandals
My three year-old daughter has changed my life in immeasurable ways. My heart has never been fuller, my coffee intake never been so high, and, my clothing taste? Well it's becoming increasingly juvenile. Somewhere between a peter pan collar, patchwork mini dress (from Dôen) and my latest obsession with sparkly, jelly, fisherman sandals I've realised: I'm starting to dress like a toddler. FIND OUT MORE AT ELLE COLLECTIVE While my relationship with my own inner child is best left discussed with my therapist (need to get one of those), I'm happy to bring the sparkly water shoes of our collective youth to the group chat. Last year the fashion world fell in love with caged jelly shoes. Catalysed, as ever, by The Row's Mara flats, many brands came out with their own sleek, but nevertheless childlike, jelly mesh sandals. Embracing a more jejune, fisherman silhouette, Loeffler Randall has released, and rereleased their sellout Rhys sandals in both a champagne and brown colourway - both encrusted with glittering gems of course - and I'm slightly obsessed. Thankfully, I'm not the only one at ELLE UK HQ crushing on these sandals, as our own Commissioning Editor Naomi Pike has snagged a pair. 'Stepping in to jelly shoes this summer feels like a bit of a full circle moment for me (and probably you!),' Pike tells me. 'A heeled pair worn just about this side of the millennium were once my pride and joy. Since then, I've not really worn them but there feels like no time like the present for a return to childhood form.' But, how is she set to style them as a fully grown-up woman? 'I'm looking forward to wearing these with puffball skirts or under my wide-leg turn-up jeans,' Pike explains. 'For city days, I'll likely wear them with white cotton socks but stride them out solo when I'm whiling away the afternoon at a beach somewhere sunny. It's the glitter and jewels that makes them especially appealing to me. The additions don't necessarily mature the style but they certainly make them more interesting.' Sadly, Loeffler Randall's Rhys style are yet to find a UK retailer, so unless you're willing to pay shipping and customs from the US (which I may well be), here are some alternatives available a little closer to home.

Haverfordwest fashion show raises over £3,000 for Tŷ Hafan
A PEMBROKESHIRE family has raised £750 for the Wish Fund after taking a bracing dip in the sea on New Year's Day in memory of a beloved teenager who passed away last summer. Rhys Calthorpe, who died peacefully aged 14 at his grandparents' home on 17 July 2023 following a relapse of Acute Myeloid Leukaemia, was remembered by his family during the annual New Year's Day Swim at Saundersfoot beach. Taking part in the swim were Rhys' grandfather Mr Morris, grandmother Mrs Morris, mother Anne-Louise, and sister Faye, who wanted to honour his memory and raise funds for a cause close to their hearts. 'We wanted to do something in memory of our Rhys,' said Mr Morris. 'We also wanted to give back and say thank you for the amazing care Rhys received. We chose the Wish Fund as it does incredible work for families like ours. 'Thank you to everyone who sponsored us. This was for Rhys William Calthorpe – son, brother, grandson.' The Wish Fund is part of Hywel Dda Health Charities and supports children and young people with life-threatening or life-limiting conditions by creating precious and lasting memories for them and their families. Nicola Llewelyn, Head of Hywel Dda Health Charities, said: 'We are incredibly grateful to Rhys' family for their fundraising efforts. Their donation will make a real difference to the children and families supported by our Paediatric Palliative Care service. 'The generosity of local communities helps us to provide care and support beyond what the NHS alone can offer across the Hywel Dda region, and we thank everyone who contributes.' Rhys was supported throughout his illness by dedicated healthcare professionals including nurses from Cilgerran Ward and the Paediatric Oncology Outreach team.
