Researching our home again

 Tam and Rosie have gone home and arrived safely, so I have spent a pleasant hour doing some more research on our home here, it turns out from a horsey point of view, as our stables were used for housing some of a previous owner's well bred show ponies, prototypes of the Section C  Welsh Cob today.  He also bred prize winning cart horses (they lived in what became Keith's workshop, judging by the height of the hayracks in there) and heavy ponies for mine work.)  When he was in the new house he was Sheriff of Brecknock as well as being Chair of the localish Primrose League (well, Llanidloes anyway), and on all sorts of prestigious local societies.  


My present from me, to me arrived today, and has some lovely projects in it. Of course, I want to make them ALL, yesterday, but have quilt projects to finish first.




I finally decanted my Apple Mincemeat from the mixing bowl in the fridge and it made two good sized jars.  Quite wasted on my family, none of whom will eat mixed fruit, for some strange reason!



Here is the gorgeous Rosie showing her standing skills and having a great time with me, as I count 1, 2 and 3 for the coasters she has been throwing off the coffee table.  The quilts are doing duty as crawler quilts!

There are still no results back at the surgery to say what specific antibiotic I should be on.  Current ones work a little but when they wear off the kidney discomfort returns.  I have my Covid booster tomorrow an then have to scoot along pronto as 7 minutes after that appt, I have to see the practice nurse at the surgery . . .  (I'm in a different building for the jab). 

I'd like to scoot up to the Records Office in Llandod tomorrow to do some research on the Estate our house was part of.  Watch this space.
