    My rescue Saint Bernard, she’s a heart as big as the Welsh mountains, more kisses than there are raindrops in Wales and the kindest soul you could ever meet!

      There are few things better than a rescue dog…. Maybe two rescue dogs! We’d love to see a picture or two to help stir our souls.

    Whether overlooking the flamingo filled salt lakes of Torrevieja or driving through the flame red maples of Vermont, my soul is stirred when I drink loose leafed tea, sweet, not too much milk and strong – just like my mamgu (grandmother) used to make for me as a child.

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      The views. the teas, the lakes. . . I’ll have to pass on the sweet, unless we’re talking Mamgu, then sweet is what it’s all about. Diolch. Great to get some tea news from so far away.

    Going to sleep and waking up with the sound of the waves washing up on the beach and a purple/fire red sunset in the background and the smell of bbq in the air. Can’t get much better than that. Beach life is a happy life ☺

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      We’re really close to the coast here in Mumbles so we know what you’re talking about. Although i don’t mind a bit of valley life or mountain life for that matter. Then there’re the lakes, oh and the beautiful marinas not to mention the bustle of the cities.
      It’s a tough choice but someone has to make it!

    What stirs my soul? Sharing a cup of Welsh Brew tea in bed with my best beloved on a lazy Saturday morning

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      It’s the simple things in life that make it all worth while…Lazy Saturdays with a good cuppa, Bendigedig!

    The clear skies, the unspoiled countryside, the deserted beaches, the waves breaking on the shore, the sheep filled hillsides, the abundant wildlife, the friendly people and the green, green grass of home. All these things stir my soul and help me feel nearer to my homeland now that I live far away.

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      Home is never too far away if it’s in the heart, and it’s even closer if you keep a pack of Welsh Brew in the cupboard. In fact you make it sound so lovely I just may have to take a week off to enjoy such an idylic country.
      Diolch!

    The cold and the rain.

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      This maketh the man… and the woman and the children and the holidays and the views and the rewards and the……. The best thing about a cold and wet day out is the warm tea pot to come home to. Well that’s what we say but we are enthusiastic when it comes to a good cuppa!

    My girls laughter whilst having a nice cuppa and biscuit. Simple but it’s a magical sound that ‘welcomly ‘ interrupts my calm

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      With a house full of girls I know just what you mean. I must admit though, there’s usually more than one biscuit involved and it’s arguably more of passing storm that is interrupted rather than a calming moment. Wouldn’t change it for all the tea in China, and i do love my tea!

      • Gemma Williams
        |

        Hmmm might be more than one biscuit then ha ha

  8. Sam roulson

    Working out from a Welsh dictionary how to say ‘that’s a lovely cup of Welsh traditional tea’! Diolch yn fwr

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      Very Lovely indeed! Let’s see it. My written Welsh always has the odd mistake in it… Embrace the mistakes is the only way forward.

      You have to love a family walk. Where’s your favourite? I’m a big fan of the coastal paths and also some of the lovely woodland walks here on the Gower. #stirringstuff

      Wow..Send us a pic.. We’d love to see some home made wooly jumpers. Never had a go at spinning so would be inttirgued to hear and see more. Traditional crafts with a good old cuppa, THis has to stir anyones soul!

      Goose bumps followed by some good old pothole bumps. Industrial as it is i do love getting to Portalbot and seeing the skyline. A real part of Welsh life and history.

    My family, my dog, coastal walks, spring flowers in the woods and the first cup of tea each morning

    • Welsh Brew

      What a way to start the day. Sounds very close to how we spend some of our preciuos moments. Looking forward to a wild garlic roam after lunch

      Definitely a good year for the underdogs. There may be a few celebratory cuppas being brewed this afternoon that’s for sure!

    my soul is stirred by nature, always amazes me, the colours, sounds and smells

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      We love the colours, sounds & smells too. Maybe that’s why we make tea for a living☕️ & that’s before we sit in the garden to drink it

    Enjoying the great outdoors, with my little girl, especially now the Bluebells are out. Can’t wait for Summer.

    • Welsh Brew

      It feels like summer has hit, all be it a little damp today! Enjoy those bluebells whilst they last & don’t forget the wild garlic

    Climbing a hill or mountain and being rewarded with stunning far reaching views. Looking down at it all is seeing our country at its best, we have wonderful countryside that stirs my soul

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      Wonderful countryside is one thing we ain’t short of! I’m sure it’s always sweeter after a hike, a huff and a puff

      It’s tough to avoid these little pocket computers I find but they’re no match for the great outdoors

    Going out cycling with Husband and children around the Kent countryside it is so much fun and we get to see lots of wildlife which the kids love a lot.

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      Love a Sunday bike ride, we make pretty slow progress what with there being five of us so there’s loads of time for creature spotting

    Having well-earned rest with a flask of tea and a slice of homemade flapjack overlooking the stunning Pembrokshire coastline at Dinas Head. Nothing gets better than that!

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      Dinas head is worth at least two slices of flapjack (& a jammy dodger) I reckon

    A cup of tea in bed every Saturday morning courtesy of my husband. I drink my tea, then put on the TV and snooze while he goes to watch Soccer am downstairs. It’s my favourite time of the week and revives me for the weekend ahead. Even better, if he’s in a good mood, he brings me a refill :))

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      He sounds like a keeper. Send him over and he can get the bacon butties on too. But what happens next week when soccer season finishes

    Watching my boys sleeping peacefully – it makes me realise just how lucky I am, even during the tough times.

    • Welsh Brew

    That quiet moment on a Sunday morning where i wake up first, my beautiful boy asleep and the husband snoring. Everything is so peaceful, but there the knowledge that something wonderful is going to happen too (Sunday is our proper family day, no shopping, no chores, just proper family time whether its out exploring or entertaining ourselves at home on a rainy day)

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      Sunday lovely Sunday. . Rain or shine, out or in ( with or without Cerys on radio 6 ) I think there should be two in a week!

    Having fabulous family days out with my daughters and husband! We love being outdoors cycling or walking around North Wales. Diolch

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      So much to choose from. Walks in Snowdonia or even a surf in a lake not to mention a stroll in Amlwch or a cuppa in llanrwst. You ain’t half got it good up there! Not a bad place to deliver tea too either:)

    My child stirs my soul. My 11 year old son is like a ray of sunshine over me 🙂 He is so sweet and funny and creative and brilliant 🙂 Even when I have a grumpy day and find everyone getting on my nerves, 2 minutes with him and I am cheered up 🙂 We always sit at the dining table together with a pot of tea after school and spend 15 minutes chatting about his day which really keeps us connected. I am a lucky mum 🙂

    • Welsh Brew

    Going out high up on the cliffs to watch the sun rise and see the mist lift from over the fields. No noise just bird song and the wind.

    Powerful thunderstorms

    Rainbows, especially the ever elusive double rainbow

    Scarlet sunrises

    Architecture and more specifically, craftsmanship of the past. We seem to accomplish far less with regard to intricacy and detail, by machine, than most did by hand centuries ago.

    Art….from classical to the surreal

    Being out amongst nature. The peacefulness, the quiet. All we humans create yet we take for granted that which nature made all by itself.

    Waterfalls.

    Hummingbirds still take my breath away.

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      Where do I begin. . The genius of the humming bird, the first great arches. I think you’ve got it covered. Stirring stuff!

    Finding a Roman coin with my metal detector, that has been untouched by human hands since the owner lost it 2000 years ago. Happy days

  48. Joanna Smith
    |

    I love my job but I work just up the road from where I live so I feel my life tends to revolve around this little area. It stirs my soul to take a walk through the streets, then through the woods to emerge at one of my favourite places on the coastline – Eastham Ferry. Once I’m there I can feel the sun on my face, the breeze through my hair and I can get the best ever ice-cream followed by a glass of wine in the beer garden overlooking the river!

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      This sounds lovely. Where is Eastham ferry? It’s a new one on me & I do love an icecream and the odd drop of wine;)

  49. Kristy Brown

    The sound of a Welsh Voice Choir – I was lucky enough to hear the Haverfordwest Male Choir sing for St Davids Day and wow! The sound of the sea and a beautiful sunset or sunrise stir my soul too.

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      Wow indeed. Those chaps can sing. We’re lucky enough to hear the Pheonix choir when we get the chance. There’s always the chance of a rendition in the pub afterwards too. Pretty stirring & privileged stuff I can say!

      Not said in any way to brag whatsoever, but we are lucky enough to work in earshot of it and there’s no finer way to start or end the day than getting a good ear full of the sea:)

    Walking on the hills. I love the smell of bracken, the sound of lambs, the clear streams, negotiating rocky paths, the sense of space of vast land and sky.

    Yesterday for the first time I took my grandchildren up onto the roof of Abingdon Museum, which is now open to the public. It’s in the centre of our town and for the first time in my life I saw a panoramic view of my life. From where I lived from one week old in one direction to where my mother went to school in another. It stirred my soul to be able to tell the grand kids lots of family stories about our home town. This would never have happened if we hadn’t gone up on that roof as made all those memories come flooding back

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      Who’d have thought all that could come from a trip to the roof? I shall be climbing up tomorrow to see what’s in store for me!

    The smell of my dad’s factory where my partner now works. It’s a mixture of oil and paint and hard work and is wonderful. Sunshine shining through my living room windows and warming my spot on the sofa. My son every day no matter what he does, watching him grow and learn and develop and evolve is the most magnificent feeling I have ever experienced.

      Maybe one day he’ll work in that same factory too. It’s how it went for me and I couldn’t be happier 🙂

    What stirs my soul? Settling down on a Saturday morning with my breakfast and mug of tea and chatting to my son in Australia via Skype.

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      The amazing appliance of science. I can’t believe you can do it on a phone and chat through video. Unbelievable what can be done. Hope he’s having fun!

    Walking along the Pembs Coastal path near my home. You see something different or surprising every time and when the weather is good it is magical.

      |

      Magical moments on the Pembs coastal path… It’s what days off are made for 🙂

    My husband. There may be snow on the roof and his back is bent but my princeof Wales became my best friend and stepfather to my son.

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      There are some good ones out there that’s for sure. Is he the real Prince of Wales 😉

    Watching the sunrise over the Welsh hills and mountains. My favourite spot is on the Brecon Beacons looking over to the Black Mountains.

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      There’s almost too many spots to choose from for a favourite… There was an amazing view over Mumbles bay this morning as we were heading West but i have to be honest, dropping into Breacon coming from Builth always blows me away..

    Watching my 6 year old niece dance, listening to her sing and playing with her pet chihuahua.Looking at waves crashing on the beach and listening to the wind blowing.

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      My girls both have the singing bug:) We get running commentry on everything through the medium of song. Can’t beat an early morning wake up to . . . “I’m singing in my room and going over there” It’s a bit like living with Elf 🙂

    What stirs my soul is seeing people homeless. I just can’t bear it so when I go up to London I take pile of 50 pences and £1 coins to make sure I give to everyone I see. On Saturday, we went to Pizza Express and I gave our leftover pizza (quite a lot) to them also. I also try to take warm coats. I feel so sorry for them..

    The smell of Yardley Freesia always gives me a sharp intake of breath as my gran wore it and she was a mum to me also. I miss her an awful lot but Freesias bring her back to me..

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      It should be close to everyones heart, Swansea has a real high proportion of homeless… Check out Shelter Cymru for all the great work they do. They’re running a raffle and fund raiser soon so pop over to their site and have a look. You could win a years supply of Welsh Brew too.
      Amazing what a smell can do, Memories in a bottle 🙂

    Some time alone with my sons. And a good cup of coffee!

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      Quiet time and a good cuppa with the best company… It’s the simple things in life:)

    Spending the night under Canvas, with my 2 children nestling in my arms, after a day running around the Welsh countryside, dreaming of the many memories they had made that day.

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      There’s a lot to be said for sleeping in a tent. Saw backs and tea in the morning helping us feel like we’re alive. Fantasticly Bendigedig 🙂

  93. Clare Hancock
    |

    Unexpected kindness from strangers

    • Welsh Brew
      |

      There’s a lot to be said for random acts of kindness. Holding a door or just picking up rubbish, it all helps the world go round and afterall like a teabag the worlds round not square (unless it’s a Gold or a Decaf, then it’s square but it could be a pyramid infusion………) It’s never quite that simple so a kind stranger can make the day:)

  94. Gosia
    |

    Seeing my children happy, healthy and fulfilled

  95. Michael

    A nice sunny day stirs my soul, so I can get out into the countryside with my family

  98. Suzanne Price

    The three furry faces of my gorgeous canines when I walk in the door from a hard day. They never fail to bring a smile to my face or joy to my heart.

  107. Haydn Dunant
    |

    It’s terribly cliched, but my kids do it for me. They “stir my soul” each and every day and I marvel at how much joy they bring into my life. I worry about them constantly, I care for them always and yet what they give me in return can never be equaled. Thank you to both of them for being mine. “Love you as big as the sky”

  108. Robert Hudson

    My new little boy who’s 3 months old, he stirs my soul every morning when he wakes up at 6am and when he sees me gives a big smile!

    Everything. my whole world tilted at a different angle when my daughter died unexpectedly four months ago. Before it happened i think like a lot of people i was caught up in silly petty things. Now i see how fragile we are and how lucky we are to simply be here when many are not. So, a sunrise a sunset, my sons smile, my friends hug and the memory of my beautiful kind daughter. All these these things stir my soul. Some it is true are tinged with sadness and tears but they stir my soul nevertheless

    The perfect bit of music! It’s not always the same song, of course – not even always a good one. Just when the tune fits the moment and brings a smile to the heart as well as the face.

  115. Rachael Lines
    |

    Stone silence that is broken by the falling of rain, I find its pitter patter to be a melancholic lifting catharsis.. and afterwards.. the children like the puddles!

    Singing stirs my soul because it is part of me and every time I sing my whole body relaxes and I feel all my troubles falling away

    The complete trust my cat puts in me, following me around, having a conversation with me, meowing in response to my chat, curling up when I settle down in bed but not before gently patting me on the cheek a couple of times..nothing else stirs my soul so much..wish he wouldn’t bring me presents in bed though the last one was a live toad at three in the morning…!!

  131. Esma Blackwell

    What stirs my soul is my children’s laughter .We love to be at one with nature and enjoy the outdoors in the fresh air and glorious surroundings.

    When we go camping my soul is stirred by falling asleep sounded by the 4 people who mean the world to me; my fiancé & our 3 boys and waking up with the most amazing scenery. Getting back to basics away from technology is a must for our family; it helps us bond, grow & appreciate what we have. My soul glows for the full time we are away

    I live in a pretty rural area and I love getting out a run early on in the morning.It stirs my soul to run on a summers morning when the sun is first coming up and the birds are singing and there’s no one else in the world!It also stirs my soul when I run in winter those early frosty mornings with red skies and geese flying overhead fill me with a different joy.
    It sets me up for my day,I give thanks to the beautiful place I live makes me happier healthier and thankful!

  137. Nicki Simpson
    |

    The view of the town’s roofs from my bedroom window, the fact that finishing my degree is finally im sight, our miracle toddler who’s 3 but acts 33, my best friends who are like a snarling protective wolf pack, my husband who has the sexiest arms ever even though I never tell him that I still look at them and go weak, reading new books, watching new box sets, managing to run further each time, new makeup, buying gifts, recieving gifts…..and dreaming about what the future may hold. And all the while with a brew in my hand.

    Being a volunteer emergency first responder stirs my soul! It involves attending 999 medical emergencies in my community and giving emergency care until the paramedics arrive, often supporting them once they arrive too. I am logged on most of the time, including overnight, most nights, and would recommend it to anyone!

    That smile shared after an adventurous day, when you have been outside exploring nature (hiking,swimming, waterfalls, biking…), you finally get home, pop your feet up and have a sip of your cuppa and know you’ve added to your good memories pile.

    My little rescue rabbit Herman . He’s so sweet my grandaughter came over today and was playing with him she’s quite rough . She’s only 14 months and doesn’t do gentle stroking but he put up with it and even shared her vegetable crisps with him . He’s company for me sits on my lap to watch TV : he seems to favour eastenders and earl grey tea : we have to watch him if we are drinking red wine because I’ve caught him with his head in the glass .

    |

    The laughter of my children elates me but my 1 year old daughter has just started giving ‘squeezes’ (cuddles) and at the moment nothing stirs my soul more than her arms and legs squeezing around me for snuggles. It warms my soul 🙂

    The thing that stirs my soul the most is having beautiful children who are growing up in the most wonderful ways. They really do make me feel great inside. I also have an amazing wife.

    The one thing that stirs my soul is my baby girls 🙂 they don’t live with me unfortunately so when I see them every week, my whole world lights up. It makes all the difficult days and nights and all the pain of not seeing them, worth every second. I would go to the ends of the earth and back again for my girls, I love them so much. Hearing them laugh, seeing them happy is the best thing in the entire world 🙂

  188. Wendy Smith
    |

    I am 65 years old and I’ve never been abroad or even on a plane, I don’t even have a passport. But what stirs my soul is walking the welsh hills and valleys. To sit quietly and listen to the waves gently stroke the beaches of this wonderful land. I hope a few more times to have the opportunity of enjoying a warm day relaxing in wales.

    What stirs my soul? I adore smelling the saltiness of the sea as it crashes on the rocks, sitting cuddled up to my loved ones in a warm, fluffy jumper, eating fish and chips with plenty of salt and vinegar and then settled in the warm with a cold glass full of ice cubes and sambucca whilst watching the sun go down. BLISS!

    I foster rescue dogs, I take in dogs when they have been left behind, abused and broke. Its hard and heart breaking seeing them have no trust in humans. The best thing is slowly getting them to trust you and earning their love again. Once they are ready as hard as it is for me, they go off to their forever home and they are a completely different dog. Thats what stirs my soul. <3

    Walking in nature stirs my soul. Be it in a forest or along the sand gazing in to the sea. Any chance to be closer to nature makes me feel so blessed and calm but also invigorated and excited.

  221. Kim Roberts

    Going away with my husband and our son, we all relax while we’re away and we forget our troubles, if only for a little while.

    Drinking tea at outdoor gigs/festivals – amid all the beer/cider drinkers, I’ve enjoyed many a brew to the likes of David Bowie, The Who and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Seems somehow decadent…

    We moved into our new home recently which we love very much. What stirs my soul is looking out of my living room window on a sunny evening to watch the sun slowly setting and casting a beautiful golden / red glow on village green and trees opposite. There is something about this particular scene and time of day that makes me feel reminiscent.

    Spending time with the homeless people once a month in a local refuge centre. I volunteer to do the evening and through the night. It is the most gratifying evening of the month for me, to sit and listen to others stories of their lives.
    It sure does stir the emotions, and when they say that ” a cup of tea can make everything better” trust me that 15 minute cup of tea with a stranger sure changed my outlook of life.

    My 6 month old grandson has just learned to laugh. When my husband pretends to hide and then reappears with a ‘boo’, little Leo gives a real belly laugh that shakes him from head to toe. When he starts to laugh, my husband also starts and the pair of them just sit there for ages laughing at each other. It makes my cheeks ache from smiling so much and really stirs my soul 🙂

  268. Joanne Evans

    Music…..when things are bad, when you are alone, when your surroundings are depressing if you can just listen to your music and close your eyes then just for that moment, that one delicious time you can be somewhere else and it can calm, soothe and invigorate the soul.

    going for a nighttime ride into the country, away from all the light pollution and then finding a place to look up at the millions of stars that are actually out there! It makes you feel quite humble when you realise how insignificant we actually are in the shape of things!

    Seeing my 18 year old son strive to make his way in the world even though he is on his 3rd brain tumor and has had 2 lots of brain surgery which involved part of his brain being removed, but he still accomplished his bronze, silver and gold DofE, not many like him in this world.

    My soul gets lifted on a daily basis just by the sheer beauty of life and the fact that I now appreciate it. (It took a very sad incident in my life happening, whereby I lost my two beautiful Nephews in a car accident.They were 23 and 30 years old). Beauty is everywhere, life, animals, nature, people and of course the beautiful Gower beaches of Rhossili, the lovely walk on Worms Head and we mustn’t forget Three Cliffs Bay. I lived in Swansea for three years and I still miss it.

  299. Sarah McAvoy

    There’s a certain time during the winter when the sun is low enough to keep you warm on those early morning walks, but it’s still cold enough to have frost sitting on every thing around you. I love it when there’s also a light fog, preferably on a country walk…it all feels so very ethereal. Those moments really stir my soul!

    I love to go to the park greeting and meeting many on my way,
    I love to see the flowers that have bloomed from the flower bud
    And have sprung into life,
    I love to see the once covered icy streams that have come back to life
    And I love to see many birds as they catch my eye
    And I love to see them as they spread their wings and fly by
    I love to see owners pulled by dogs in a line,
    Their dogs barking midst the passing of time.

    I’d have to start with Family
    They always raise my mood
    And when we have a catch up
    It always involves food

    Then there are my friends
    who love a cup of tea
    cake and biscuits open
    just lets my soul soar free

    Last there is that quiet place
    That’s only known to me
    Where nature meets horizon
    And I can truly be

    Make me think of nature all day.
    Birds and Bees plants and trees
    This country of mine is so divine.
    The chance to share all the delights, with those you love
    All four Seasons sent from God above.
    The chance to Win, The chance to shine
    Would love this Glamping trip to be mine.

    Dictionary definition of the term: ‘soul-stirring’ – ‘arousing excitement and enthusiasm; uplifting’

    For me, I would sum it up as that feeling, when, after a day of outdoor adventure, rosy cheeked, windblown and utterly exhausted, you open your front door, and head for that cosy seat, next to the crackling fire, and you share a delicious pot of tea with your nearest and dearest, and recount your exploits, knowing that, that was a good day well spent, and an even better evening to come.

    We drink our first Welsh Brew of the day while gazing out of the window at our beautiful Black Mountains. Stirring stuff indeed.

    Travelling with my daughter, Chloe. She’s an 8 year old nomad who has inspired me to get out and see more of the world.

    Last year she was totally psyched up for a camping trip to Wales… but I was actually tricking her and I whisked her off to Disneyworld in Florida. I didn’t think I could top that so I was worried when I asked her where she’d like to go in 2017.

    ‘Wales. We didn’t get to go last year!’

    Watching my 5 year old daughter take her big brother who is 7 years old by the hand during playtime at school and walk with him because he is behaving in an odd or challenging way which the other children dont understand like she does as he has Autistic Spectrum Disorder. This sometimes makes it not possible for her to enjoy playing with the children in her own class group however she doesnt complain ever and makes sure her brother is ok before anything else. she has such a kind and caring nature its heart melting but also it is a lot of responsibility for a little girl and winning this prize would be a wonderful way of treating both her and her brother. x

    You know those days when the world just seems perfect. The ones where you could be just at the park with your children or just on a walk and they say the funniest thing or they look at you in a way you that just melts your heart. Or when you just take in exactly what you have which may not seem like a lot or be a lot to others but it just gives you a little bit of warmth in your heart and your just so in love with everything and everyone! Those moments are the ones that stirs my soul. Thank you x

    What stirs my soul are many things actually…..kindness, compassion and love…..but if you want something more tangible then I guess it’s where I live next to Poole Harbour in Dorset where watching the wildlife and birds spend their hours doing what they do and taking the time to watch in our busy lives.
    Oh…..and a good cuppa of course

  432. Wendy Legister

    What can I say, I lived and worked in Wales for 10 years, I also spent many summers in Penmachno with my friend, It’s been too long since I’ve been back, I guess you could say I suffer a little ‘hiraeth’ so I would have to say that there are two things that stir my soul…..Wales itself and also my other passion music, one I couldn’t live without and the other I long to return to.

    I’ve recently started working as a clinic coordinator for the NHS on Paediatric Bone Marrow Transplant Unit and what stirs my soul is the absolute dedication shown by the nurses, doctors and consultants on a daily basis. Also the love of the families and the determination and strength that the children all have throughout. It has certainly helped teach me more about life and what is I important. When I sit down for a brew now it’s with an open heart and a new found purpose in life!

    I went into an art gallery and was confronted with a large Henry Moore sculpture. I looked at it briefly, decided I didn’t like it and was about to move on when the door opened and in came a gallery guide leading a blind man by the elbow. He felt every part of the sculpture, talking animatedly about its marvellous shape and texture and Moore’s unique skill. I was ashamed. He stirred my soul and I have used the story many times in my art teaching.

    When you see a blue lighted ambulance pull up to your neighbors house across the street (not wanting to pry or even ignore their troubling times). I waited until the family came home (after a night stay at the hospital) to take over 1 pint of milk. I knocked on the door and said ‘I saw that you had blue lights outside your house last night, I didn’t want to ignore nor pry, however it is very British to make a cuppa in a crisis; just in case you’ve run out, here is some more’. It turned out their little boy was rushed to hospital after coughing up blood, and they had ran out milk. The mother said to me she hadn’t seen such kindness on this street was deeply humbled that someone took time to care. Giving in a time of vulnerable times #stirringstuff #timeformiracles #christmasspirit p.s. the boy was fine, he was playing on his xbox when he got home

    Waking up early on a crisp, misty winter’s day, putting on my running shoes and running through the countryside. Admiring the amazing view of what looks like small islands emerging from the sea, where the mist has nestled in the valleys. Makes you happy to be alive.

    What stirs my soul. I have been glamping, it’s better than camping. A relaxing break with my name sake. Once you’ve lit the fire, settle back with a brew and watch that fire burn. Always stirs my soul.

    My soul is now in a place where it no longer matters if I can’t sleep….. I simply stop trying and allow my body to dictate what it wants. It could be something as simple as enjoying a hot milky drink while I write letters to friends I haven’t seen for years…….or I might sit outside wrapped up in a blanket on my patio barefooted waiting for that miraculous moment that so many people miss…….. a simple sun rise! Or best of all a chance to relax and review my wonderful family and to think of all the treasured times we spend together and of course there are the memories of those who are no longer with me. I can shed a tear so easily for any one of them but I like think they would prefer me to smile and to know I am contented and at peace with myself……. so I smile and thank them for giving me my life!

    At this time of year I love to watch the spectacular starling murmurations here on the Somerset Levels. The visual treat, the incredible sound of their wings as they roost and the accompanying drama of hungry local birds of prey always stirs my soul.

    Rugby… there is nothing, and I mean, nothing, like Rugby. There’s something almost magical about it. You’re locked in a battle, a dirty, painful, violent battle. You’re fighting alongside your mates, you’re probably fighting your mates too! The nerves before kickoff vanish when the ball is kicked, when it drops into your arms, when you tuck it away and canter off into the unknown. The first scrum, the first line out. It’s fabulous! and when it’s all over, and you’re knackered, and sweaty, and filthy, and everything aches. You dive into a red hot bath, with your mates. You have a laugh, you enjoy a game of “what’s bleeding” and then you go and have a pint, in front of a roaring fire, with your mates.
    I have two little boys, they’ll find their own way into the game, if at all, and I sincerely hope they do. There’s nothing like it, and I absolutely love it with every ounce of my being. Does it stir my soul? Yes, it bloody well does.

    My gorgeous fiance stirs my soul.I am so very proud of him and love him more than words can say.
    He would do almost anything for me and this has included giving up his career in the RAF to be with me and to marry me in July.
    My true hero, kind ,caring and compassionate. An amazing role model to my younger brothers.
    We have had a bit of a tough year after I suffered so injuries after having a bump in my car he has kept my spirits up and cared for me.
    I would use this break for our honeymoon as we are saving for our first home. It sounds amazing and as Jason comes from Wales it would be great for him to be able to show me the sights he so loves with all his heart but doesn’t get to see much as we are now both living in Hampshire

    Being outdoors stirs my soul, I went camping for the first time in years this year and I’d forgotten how much fun it is. It chucked it down with rain just as we started the barbeque up but that didn’t matter at all, I just grabbed an umbrella and carried on cooking the sausages we’d bought from a local farm shop, they were delicious! I plan to go lots of times next year, hopefully to around Abersoch which has the most beautiful beach.

    My newfoundland Nessa. It amazes me that after 5 years of abuse she is still so trusting and so full of love. We rescued her a year ago. When she came to us she was covered in wounds, had infections, was totally untrained and had been attacked by dogs. She had never been walked and didn’t know how to play. Even after all of that she is the most loving dog ever and so badly wants to please you. She brings you her teddy to share if you are sad becuase it makes her happy so she thinks it will make you happy. She has learnt to trust other dogs again and just wants to play. But her favourite thing in the world is to cuddle. She is currently cuddled up on the settee with me. She makes me so happy xx

    What stirs my soul? For it to say twice in this week’s Llanelli Star that there was a Free box of tea for readers, only to go to the claim website and see that it wants you to subscribe at a cost of 99p per week. That’s not free.
