Thought for the day:"Forget the past you can’t change it. Forget the present I didn’t get you one"

Not a good sign...
We are ready for our Santa trip tomorrow - properly socially distanced gift run with Santa and Frosty the snowman taking mulled wine and meads to our neighbours.. We have had such a great welcome that we decided to introduce the concept of the Tavern - we shall see what the Reverend John Green BA thinks of that (the one who shut all the pubs in Rhydlewis back in the early 1900's as we understand)
Searches of Rhydlewis show the following under the Cadw Registers
Twr-Gwyn Methodist Chapel was built in 1750, enlarged in 1779, rebuilt in 1816 and 1846, and then renewed in 1932. The present chapel, dated 1846, is built in the Simple Round-Headed style of the long-wall entry type.
