I've received lovely greetings from these folks over the past few years. Maybe some of you are in the area or have plans to be sometime. They seem a very friendly group and I am sure they would welcome visitors.

Ok, Friends, I've decided to give this whole Crossword Puzzle thing a whirl. Same as Swansea Jack's--use the English alphabet, not the Welsh one (i.e. Ll, ch, dd, etc., go in TWO different squares, even though these are each one letter in Welsh). I'll put the solution up in a couple of days. Pob Lwc!
