Some of you have asked why this blog has been a bit silent of late.
Here is what I’ve been up to while not blogging. If you are living in Wales or near it, come and join me November 15 – 17
The festival will open on Friday 15th Nov at 11am

Santa will be coming through town on his sleigh at 6pm
followed by a Lantern parade from CK to King Street,
where we meet Santa again

and a fireworks display at 8pm.
Llandeilo Town Band, Ffion Haf and Harry Luke will provide the entertainment.
