I wasn't sure where to put this, but I thought this might be as good a place as anywhere else! These guys - www.underthethatch.co.uk - are the company that manage the lettings of Griff's farmhouse that was restored in A Pembrokeshire Farm. The chap who runs it (who also appears in the programme, by the way!) asked me if I would put a link up to their site, so it's on the News page and the Links page, if anyone fancies a holiday... Griff's two properties are the two at Trehilyn - click on the links down the left hand side of the page. Also I'll post a copy of their newsletter in a moment, which gives details of three other restoration projects Griff's got in hand in the same estate - and drops in the delightful news that there is a second BBC series as a follow up to A Pembrokeshire Farm in the offing! |

Oh my goodness....wouldn't it be fab to have a forum meet-up at one of these gorgeous properties one weekend? The first link (Showman's Waggon),doesn't work for me,but the piccies of the other two are beautiful! How lovely and cosy would it be to sit in front of a real fire ,in such gorgeous surroundings, at this time of year? xx ( Does 'Under The Thatch Ltd.' remind anyone else of the Maggie years? ;D ) |

*snort* yes....
You should see the main one - follow their link on the first message; his are the two Trehilyn properties. They're fabulous.
Actually, that's a good point; I'll flag that up in the original post!
