Wales Trip - Bob Hemsen - Day 1 Stop 2 Gwydir Castle Gwydir Castle actually a really large Welsh house. Two twenty somethings came upon this derelict place around 1994 and have spent the rest of their lives reviving it. An excellent story captured in Castles In The Air: The Restoration Adventures of Two Young Optimists and a Crumbling Old Mansion. Ghosts, local tradesmen doing artisan work, Prince Charles visit and help. Unbelievable gritty these two to save this place.
Wales Trip - Bob Hemsen - Day 1 Stop 1 - Bodysgadon Hall First stop Bodysgadon Hall for lunch. Rich dark paneling, an actual fireplace giving the dining area ambiance during the rainy day.

THE FRIENDS MEMBERS ONLY NEW YEAR’S PARTY A wonderful afternoon was had by all who attended this annual event for Members of the Friends on Sunday, January 13. Dorothy Smullen gave a most interesting talk on The Botany and History of Holiday Dessert, which was followed by a delicious array of finger foods, both sweet and savory. Following are a couple of photos of this lovely afternoon, taken by Meri Tango; thank you Meri! We also want to thank our very talented floral arrangers, Marge Hulstrunk, Sherrie Carr and Russell Gatzke for the beautiful table decorations.
