The Scoop

There are many reasons for choosing to wear a wig and there are plenty options when it comes to deciding what wig to wear. However, the owner of MD Hair in Goodwick has created what must be a Pembrokeshire first with her sheep’s wool wig. Michelle Summers Davies joined forces with a local farmer to produce the stunning wool wig.

Having attended a a wig-making course, Michelle created the wig from sheep’s wool and it was worn by a model at the grand finale of the course.

Having not been seen for around half a century, Atlantic bluefin tuna have recently been spotted off the Pembrokeshire coast. The Atlantic bluefin is the most endangered of the bluefin tuna and can live up to 40 years. Sightings of the tuna have significantly increased in Pembrokeshire waters over the last two months.

Speaking about the sightings, Nadia Tomsa, Sea Trust Wales project manager, said “I’ve seen the Bluefin tuna a few times on surveys this year. However, they’re always extremely unpredictable and so quick”.
