My father's cousin lived in Presteigne sadly I never visited her although we emailed a lot before she passed away earlier this year. I don't think it is that far from where we stay in Herefordshire - somewhere else to put on list of places to visit :)Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-29191176628960898092021-12-18T00:18:27.410-08:002021-12-18T00:18:27.410-08:00...

Two embalmed wives still in the bedroom!!! I did enjoy following your link to the battle of Pilleth -bloodthirsty times indeed. Unfortunately the Powys newspaper refuses to let me in so I missed that bit. Here in New Zealand we're enjoying the beginnings of summer - although summer with Covid restrictions isn't quite like summers past! I hope your quotes come in at reasonable prices - here everything is skyrocketing in price, with Covid as the universal excuse. Happy Christmas to you and your family.Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864657381173674455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-55927059748408653302021-12-17T15:25:21.018-08:002021-12-17T15:25:21.018-08:00What a great glimpse into the history of the area ...What a great glimpse into the history of the area and Wales as a whole. <br /><br />God bless.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051183778965359500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-72572443135723157892021-12-17T14:13:15.749-08:002021-12-17T14:13:15.749-08:00Enjoyed the Sir John Pryce snippet, though surely ...Enjoyed the Sir John Pryce snippet, though surely is not Buckland on the borders of the Shire , betwixt the Old Forest and the Brandywine River?Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13845113520987402425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-34485910855703818682021-12-17T10:21:36.368-08:002021-12-17T10:21:36.368-08:00My comments are not showing up---I wanted you to k...My comments are not showing up---I wanted you to know how much I have enjoyed the literary excerpts, thanks.<br /><br />lizzy at gone to the beach.Lizzy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925662100321427762noreply@blogger.com
