Not a peal of bells
I apologise if it appears as though I'm plumbing the depths but I'm getting desperate,I believe in the expression 'God helps them who help themselves', I don't believe in standing idly by watching everything going to pot, but doing nothing is not negative, it is neutral and cheap, whilst paradoxically, doing something can cost, therefore, as in my case, mainly ink & petrol, expensively negative. More than a year out of work, the money my mother left me has gone up in smoke as has the contemptible contents insurance; I am left with nothing except hundreds of photos that no-one wants. The good news is that on April 9 the pub will be cleaned out ready for work to start on the rebuilding, the bad news is that, if as likely, the bar won't be ready before the end of the year my problems will be almost insurmountable without financial support. I have just bought two new tyres with post-dated cheques, my car insurance runs out tonight, I have electricity & water bills, plus a personal loan to pay back. I need money now! There must be someone out there, benefactor, sponsor; saviour, who can help to keep me afloat; I should have earned enough money at Easter, Whitsun and the Summer, but it looks at present as though that has been put off for another year. Now I've got that off my chest I'm going to try and switch off for an hour or so to see how Sir Percy Blakeney aka The Scarlet Pimpernel escapes from prison, which I suppose he will. Thank goodness for my books & my friends.
If there is anyone who can help me until I get back on my feet; Paypal to my e-mail: bynwalters@libertysurf.fr or cheque to Byn Walters, Tavarn Ty Elise, 29690 Plouye, Bretagne/Brittany
Apologies again if this appears unseemly.
As I said, I'm not sitting idly by, I go out in the countryside and to the towns taking photos, then find a spot at the local markets to try and sell them, but instead of giving me a lift it's bogging me down with the expense of the ink and the petrol. It's more Breizh than Cymru but I've put them on the internet and you can see them yourselves at http://patrimoinebreton.blogspot.com
Hey, Bryn - you are among friends and nothing wrong in any way with asking for help - you've had a big setback and no reason not to ask for help, that's certainly more than one person can handle - we should put out heads all together and figure out something to do. I'll pmail you and maybe we can think of something. It would be great for your place to be up and running so we could come and visit someday!
Hi Byn
You are indeed among friends
I have posted your appeal to Facebook and Twitter and will include it in our next broadcast email ( Tuesday ).
Perhaps I should have added that my pub, an icon, one of the last with a clay floor and open chimney much loved by people all over the world, e.g. a native Peruvian guitarist who had concerts in London, Berlin & Paris made a detour to call in and play because he'd heard about the place back home in Peru, through no fault of mine burnt down 13 months ago; I wasn't insured for loss of earnings, don't have any savings, or qualify for dole, so supposing we all want it up & running again with yours truly behind the bar, there will probably be at least another 6 months to wait, which would mean 19 or 20 months in all of personal adversity & struggle and I don't think I can last that long without help. I'm sorry that it brought your Nigerian to mind, although I naturally expected it to as I receive similar communications all the time. I can only say that when friends have appealed to me in the past I have given, and here I think I am among friends.
