Kidwelly river walk on Saturday evening I met a local woman with Holly, a 10 month old Labrador x Collie which she had rehomed from Ty Agored (Open House) Animal Rescue in Lampeter which is sponsored by Burns.

This reminded me of the late George Morgan who was my father-in-law’s cowman and friend. George used to say “At one time people took tea in the house and shit in the garden. Now they shit in the house and take tea in the garden.”
