Good evening all,
Here are a few events that I'll be attending over the next few weeks - there are a few more in my diary, so I'll update this information when I find my diary...
25th June: Pontarddulais Evening Produce Market
This occurs every fourth Wednesday of the month at Elim Community Church on Oakfield St, from 5 p.m until 7.30 p.m.
28th June: Pontarddulais and Hendy Carnival
Coed-Back park will be transformed into a day of food, drinks, games and entertainment in the central field from 2 o'clock onwards. Watch the beautiful floats make their way through the villages to the field for a family fun day. Entry is £2 at the gate, or free with the Carnival brochure.
9th July: Pontarddulais Market
Occurs every second Wednesday at the Institute (45 St. Teilo Street, Pontarddulais), from 9 a.m until 12.30 p.m.
1st - 9th August: Welsh National Eisteddfod
This is a massive event which runs for 9 days. It's a Welsh cultural festival of music, literature, food, language and everything in between - have a look at the website http://www.eisteddfod.org.uk/english/2014/
I will be in stall 1024, so come along and find Oscar's Kitchen for a huge selection of chutneys, pickles, chilli sauces and lots of delicious new products!
South Wales is currently enjoying unbroken days of sunshine at the moment, and my plants are thriving. My raspberry canes are covered with fruits and flowers; my tomato, aubergine, courgette and cucumber plants have lots of flowers and are being regularly fed for more growth and great big fruits; the strawberries, currants and rhubarb are thriving in the polytunnel. The only bad news is that my monster sunflowers have been devoured by slugs, except for 4. These lonesome survivors are being cared for with unprecedented diligence.
Ruth
