Work on the old mine continues. Still got electrical problems and MANWEB (our local supplier) has dug a big hole to try and improve the earth connection!!

As to the future? The mine is an absolute gem and needs to be saved for the Welsh Nation. Open market solutions do not really wash! The site and the collections are uniquely Welsh and should stay within the control of the area. We are looking at a Third Sector (Not-for-Profit) solution. Any assistance with the mechanics of this process would be most welcome. How do we get safely into harbour? CADW and the National Trust have declined to help. Any ideas?

A bit of rain in the Cambrians today but quite mild! Frogspawn has hatched in the pond and tadpoles are everywhere.

The rogue Eagle is still being sighted in the hills, along with our resident Red Kites.

Greetings to all our members in hard-rock mining areas of the States. We would love to hear from you and perhaps you could help with future plans for our Silver-Lead Mine.

Best wishes,

Peter

PS. How are our friends in Oak Hill, Ohio?
