Posts that Didn't Happen: May 2025

May came in with some glorious sunny warm weather.

Got some gardening done, planted up the greenhouse, and sat outside on the bench enjoying the sunshine, and admiring the view . . .  

Then there was a trip to Cardiff with old colleagues, for a celebration of Archives and Records Council Wales' 30th 'birthday' at the Senedd.

Work on the van also continued, making the most of the good weather for sanding 'woodwork' such as the kitchen worktop and flip-up table - painstakingly constructed by Martin from pallet wood strips. 

The latter part of the month saw the weather get cooler and wetter, and brought with it other preoccupations, with family in hospital in Swansea, and lots of driving to and fro.

Broke the journey in Carmarthen a few times for some van 'shopping', and also called by Talley Abbey briefly (somewhere to return to in better times).

So a bit of a mixed bag of a month - with some anxious days - thankfully all was positively resolved by the end of the month, with the hope that normality would resume in June . . .
