Well a bit of a hectic day. The forecast reliably stated that rain would clear around 10am and it would be a clear warm day..I look through the window 8hrs later its still raining cats and dogs.
Anyway went to Newton House Dinefwr ( painting above) first thing with alex and no3 grandaughter. This is a National Trust Estate once owned or possibly still is by the the Lord of Dinefwr. Very picturesque with a deer park and white longhorn cattle. Having dropped off a supply of newly printed postcards we went to Aberglasney.
The original owners of Aberglasney claimed descent from Elystan Glodrydd, Prince between Wye and Severn and Gwenllian, granddaughter of Hywel Dda, who lived around AD 1000.
In the 17th century it was Bought by Bishop Rudd. It is famous for its gardens although the Mansion itself was derelict until a trust took it over 1995.
The Mansion hosts many events including concerts and exhibitions. I am exhibiting there again in August but today we went to see the work of:
Robert Price a very fine traditional watercolourist http://www.robertprice.org.uk/
After other diversions including picking up grandson no1 I now have time to write this listen to Days of Future Past and recommend visiting Roberts website or better still if in the area call in to Aberglasney.
