VENDOR INTERVIEW:
We moved here from Buckinghamshire in 2021 and spent the following years working on making the house and gardens into a wonderful home that we are proud to show to our frequent stream of friends and family who come to visit us. Everyone comments on the peace and tranquillity that abounds, as well as the array of birds and wild animals spotted in the garden.
The gentle sound of the stream can sometimes be heard from the bedrooms and often lulls us and our guests into a deep sleep! We particularly enjoyed the challenge of clearing the woodland and seeing the wood anemones and bluebells flourish. Later we added our amazing BBQ hut and supporting decking area, which is hidden away in the tranquil woodlands; a perfect setting in the summer and a cosy escape in the winter.
We have embraced country life over the last 3 years looking chickens and helping the local farmer to herd his sheep and cows from one field to another. Unfortunately, our circumstances have changed and we need to move closer to London to be near family again. We have found the local community in Llanfair Clydogau extremely warm and welcoming, and have never been lost for anything to do with so many groups to join such WI, yoga, and the Twine and W(h)ine sewing group, art group, not to mention all the social activities organised in the village hall.
