Charlotte Church once sang 'Men of Harlech' this has nothing to do with Charlotte Church. It does have a bit to do with Harlech, a bit about men and a bit about women.
Harlech is a funny old town, lots of History, big castle(http://www.castlewales.com/harlech01.jpg), sandy beach, fairly rural, fairly welsh. It's a town on hill, an uptown and a downtown and a fairly steep road between. It could not really be called isolated, but as I guess with lots of small communities everyone seems to know every ones business. A quite eclectic mix of alcoholics, layabouts and reactionaries seems to have retired to the area but I do not intend to discuss the nefarious activities of the local W.I.
It is commonly said that if you put some of the actual happenings of Harlech and its environs into a soap opera it would not be a believable story line.
Perhaps it is only of interest to those it involves or people that know the people, I will see.
I intend to cover many areas and as this is my first attempt at blog please fogive ignorance/arrogance in advance. Some subjects may including :-
- Local Planning; is their curruption in the council?
- The Bar tender and the thief
- Death and coincidence
- Coleg Harlech Sweep Stake (how much longer will it exist)
- The St. Davids Hotel Development
- Parking
