a modern village steeped in history
Older members of the two villages of Llansadwrn and Llanwrda had a fun lunch out at the Plough Inn.
If you wish to join us we regularly meet for a natter and a catch up.
OAP Christmas lunch for Llansadwrn and LLanwrda
A request has been received for the temporary road closure of the C2161, Heol y Gelli at Llansadwrn, Llanwrda from a point 710 metres north east of its junction with the C2172 for a distance of 80 metres in a north easterly direction.
The closure is necessary to ensure public safety whilst Welsh Water connect a new water pipe from Monday 7th January 2019 for a period of 2 days.
The alternative route for north eastbound traffic will be to proceed in a south westerly direction along the C2161 to its junction with the A40. At the junction, turn left and continue in a north easterly direction along the A40 to its junction with the A482. At the junction, turn left and continue in a north westerly direction along the A482 to its junction with the C2161. At the junction, turn left and continue in a south westerly direction along the C2161 to return to a point north east of the closure. Vice versa for south westbound traffic.
We are setting up collections at the Saturday Books, Reading Room and Vestry Venture (last one on Tuesday 11th) for food and warm coats.
We will take any donations down to Llandeilo to the National Trust’s pop up food bank or to the coat rail at Llandovery Coop.
If you find yourself in need this Christmas then there is help locally.
A National Trust pop-up shop is open in Llandeilo (10 Carmarthen street next to Shire hall) where we will drop off donations.
Please help giving essentials such as UHT milk, UHT fruit juice, tinned ham, Christmas cake or pudding and selection boxes at the Reading Room.
Myddfai Church are also running a warm coat scheme in Llandovery, if you can not afford a warm coat you can take one from the rail, no explanation required. We will also take donated coats down too.
Around thirty people attended and the idea of establishing a community garden/orchard in Llansadwrn was discussed in some depth.
Comments, suggestions and ideas came thick and fast. The meeting was very supportive of the idea and wanted the Rhandir to be a place that everyone in Llansadwrn could use, enjoy and be proud of.
First of all we will get a Rhandir group set up and constituted and produce a development plan for the site for the Community Council to consider at their next meeting.
This is a brilliant idea, and will get people out& talking together as they work.
Lovely idea – fruit trees – easy maintenance – crop could be shared – scrumpy?
Wild play/forest school area fruit/forest garden
Great idea
An accessible path/s around the garden/orchard. Great idea!
Wonderful idea – another innovation to bring the community together.
What fun and a wonderful way to connect people in the village yet again in a wonderful environment. Jane

A fantastic wy to create community!! Looking forward to the Orchard as my garden is too small for fruit trees and I think the opportunity for local school to have “forest school” is brilliant!!
A fairy garden! Little doors on flower pots to help the flowers grow Claire .E.
Garden patch for growing fruits and vegetables. Lewis
Community plots ‘Rubarb’ herbs, Runnes ect.
Possibly register as a ‘community charity’ to obtain grants/help from local business.
Fabulous idea to have a garden
Maintaining hedge cutting is important.
Large trees on boundary are protected.
Barbeque area -fire pit
Childrens’ ‘patch’ or tubs.
Lean to for green wood working
Seating areas/meeting places
Hammock
Bird boxes Insect boxes
On rememberence day place little wooden crosses and grow poppies
Lay boundary hedge of native trees + lay it properly.
A place for children/people to go and make a wish (release some stress) Almost like a wishing well/calm think – space?
Also grow some vegetables.
Fruit trees also serve as memorials for local people.
Will it be down to the community to create the garden?
This would be a special way of bringing everyone together
Also we would love to see a few fairy doors at the bottom of some tree trunks, to get the kids imaginations going.
Brilliant idea – but concerned about practicalities eg. Rota for volunteers? Deciding what to grow? To fundraise?
