The largest Banyan tree in the word at Lahaina on the island Maui, has been badly damaged by the wild fires which has devastated this most beautiful of Hawaiian Island; 55 people as well as wild life decimation is the consequence of this catastrophe!
We had a wonderful holiday in Kauai, Maui and big Island (Hawaii).

A delightful wedding at Henson Castle yesterday between Megan Lewis and Kristian Noyes.
It was great to see the turnout of Welsh-guardsmen from their base at Windsor so immaculately turned out.
I was requested to give the Loyal toast in Welsh; not exactly common protocol, but was proud to oblige.

The fantastic ‘Peter Cottontail’ Easter Bunny (“Peter - Cwningen y Pasc”) will be attending Easter Breakfasts at the Fisherman’s Rest in Bedwas, Caerphilly from Wed 13 to Easter Sunday. Booking essential as availability is limited.
The kids / grandkids will go bananas (sorry ‘carrots’) at the opportunity to meet ‘Peter’. Bendigedig 🥕

I am extremely sorry but Peter Cottontail will not be at this event which has been cancelled (myxomatosis)?!

Nadolig Llawen I holl fobol y Byd!
Happy Christmas to all the people of the world!
Old Santa is truly pooped today!
Amongst the thousands a of children I’ve seen over the last month, I’d like to tell you about Kate, a delightful nine year old who came to see me; she was enchanting.
I asked if she’d like to go to one of my ‘Elf Schools’ as she was a truly wonderful person!
She was delighted with this proposition!
As she left she asked in a loud voice ‘Santa, have you got a willy’?
Her dear Mum by now a bright beetroot colour said, ‘Excuse my daughter. She is autistic and sometimes comes out with some outrageous things!’
I said, ‘Kate is sheer delight, and that I had answered quietly in her ear ‘yes he has, a little one.’
Children are our future, they must be nurtured and loved, they are Custodians of our future! 💕

Firstly I just want to say a massive thank you,
You was absolutely amazing throughout the day, made everyone laugh and made our wedding flow perfectly. I honestly can’t find enough words to explain how grateful we are for you helping us organised our wedding the way you did.
I highly recommend people book you, our guests are still saying “bloody marvellous”:
Thank you so much.
Mr & Mrs Webster

Nice to be back to some form of ‘normally’ had a delightful wedding in the Miskin Manor last week, the first function I’ve had fo 18 months.
The pandemic has been devastating for the Hospitality sector with many of us having had no government financial assistance; let’s hope for a brighter tomorrow, and if another catastrophe should be bestowed on us, let’s hope we’ve learned some lessons and not be so ill prepared!

My Daughter in-law didn’t know her own strength, brother in-law toastmaster Tony Forward said ‘that was the best throw in he’d ever seen’.
