Feel Good Friday: Aberystwyth's Famous People

Feel Good Friday: Aberystwyth's Famous People

Hello and welcome to another Feel Good Friday and boy what a week to be feeling good! The Lockdown is over, the sun has had it's hat on and we have simply loved hearing the positive news from our local businesses.


1) Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay was spotted around Aberystwyth last week!


Did you spot him? Gordon was spotted by locals in the town, where he was thought to have been filming for the National Geographic series Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted.

Gordon stayed at Gwesty Cymru, on the seafront that was taken over by local hoteliers, husband and wife Julian and Anna Maria Shelley, who also run Cardigan and Celtic Bay guest houses on the promenade. Hope he loved our town as much as we love it!

2) Former glamour model from Aberystwyth's personal pictures stolen and used to defraud men online.
Jess Davies, 27, said she was been facing a 10-year battle with con artists who have stolen pictures from her time as a glamour model.


"I hope that something can change in how consent is seen when it comes to photos that are shared online. To me, it's simple: if you consent to a photo being taken in one context, it doesn't mean it can be used however and wherever anyone chooses." Well done Jess for speaking up and getting awareness out there for young people today.

3) Nathan chef at Aberystwyth's SY23 appears on Great British Menu

Thinking of putting your home on the market soon? If you’re aiming to list within the next 90 days, this guide is for you. Here’s how to sharpen your strategy so you don’t just sell, you get the sale you want.

Autumn may not be the first season that comes to mind when people think about moving, but it can be a surprisingly strong time to sell. Buyers who are still active at this stage of the year tend to be serious about completing before Christmas or the new year. With the right preparation, your home can stand out and attract motivated buyers even as the nights draw in.

When it comes to selling your home, getting the right valuation is the first and most important step. A realistic and accurate property valuation sets the foundation for a successful sale — too high and you risk losing potential buyers; too low and you could be leaving money on the table.

Buying a home is one of life’s biggest decisions. Whether it’s your first purchase or your fifth, the process can feel daunting, with plenty of pitfalls to avoid. From mortgages and surveys to legal paperwork and negotiations, there’s a lot to take on board. By arming yourself with the right information and working with a knowledgeable local estate agent, you’ll be better placed to make smart decisions and find the home that truly fits your needs.
