Christmas came late, or is it early?



Saturday was a special day. Our friends, Mel, Dai and Gwyn Stacey came over to the island for lunch. They have been planning to get here since before Christmas and had done a lot of shopping for us. However, due to weather and other commitments from all concerned, they finally made it a month later than expected. Their floor at home had been a temporary, but rather long term storage space for our pre Christmas wish list. So it was that we finally received some Christmas crackers, a bottle of port and a festive tin of peanuts amongst all the other lovely goodies they had kindly run around getting for us. We spent a hectic two hours together; so much to talk about and things to show them even though they know the island well. Then Ernest was ready to get back to the mainland and so they left for the return trip to Carmarthen. A long journey for such a flying visit, but we hope they enjoyed themselves as much as we did. Thanks you guys!
