Facebook Memories threw up this half-term holiday photo
today.When
the boys were little we regularly stayed at Esgair Wen in Cwmdu and found
excuses to visit the tiny Post Office and shop most mornings.
It has a bell
that tinkles when you open the door like a proper shop should.
We went on a
whim and were delighted to discover it's still going strong, despite having had
no 'phone or internet for three weeks due to a lightning strike.
It's not often you go into a Post Office and get offered a cup of coffee
The self-catering accommodation at Esgair Wen was
wonderful; but the boys just got too big to share a bed settee. Fester
and I were in the double bed on the mezzanine (where this photo was taken
from).
It was really easy to keep an eye on the boys, and relax. The L shaped living room included
a kitchen area, and the mezzanine sat on top of the bathroom, accessed through
a shared utility area with a washing machine and lots of coat hanging and welly
storage space.
The landlady kept horses, two rescue donkeys and two friendly dogs.
Cwmdu Post Office is still going strong, run by the community together with the Inn, Restaurant and many communal activities.
We visit every time we are down in Carmarthenshire.
