Saw this drawing and was fascinated - Baby to Old Age... enjoy..

So - another visitor heads back to the real world and away from Ffynnon Wen...

Had a lovely couple of days with Andy and Calliope - and caught up 10 years as though we have met regularly through the time...

Calling at the Crimson Moon

And Beer on the Veranda - Home Brew by the keg - and excellent taste...

"Who is calling at the Crimson Moon?"

Last check on the Peacocks ..

And a few photos of the visit....

Breakfast with Edward Bear

A vegan Wolf who only eats Broccoli and Rhubarb Jelly,
a Tubby Unicorn and
Idris the Dragon - only at Ffynnon Wen

Fabio, Zsa Zsa, and Marlene

In other news - after three days trying and some huge blisters I managed to the the Timber Pro strimmer/ chain saw/ hedge trimmer working - heavy old thing !!  But managed to finish the vicious Climbing Roses and start on a hedge... Not very neat but the Timber Pro is very heavy and quite unwieldy for this sort of hedge - will try again at the weekend (Llanelli Trip Tomorrow) 

And Susie has been attacking the Willow and has found gooseberry beds which look as though they will survive now that they have some light - oh and a few more paths !!

and a willow cut back !!

Steps to the Rose Garden and the Pear Circle
'Thena on Guard.. 

In other news...

Seems that 60 years ago Haberdasher's had a bit of a problem in the move from Hampstead to Elstree.

Posted copy of this letter from 60 years ago...

Hadn't realised that they had only been there for a short time when I went in 1965/6

Well - Glass of Chateau 41 to celebrate a quiet evening ..

Cheers !
