The other day whilst sitting in my kitchen and looking out over the glorious views that John and I have come to love and call home, the phrase ÂBeauty is in the eye of the beholderÊ came to mind. ItÊs this view and the lovely countryside that surrounds us that our family and friends really enjoy when they come to see us. IÊm sure that the beautiful sights and sounds of Radnor can stir the senses of just about everyone and I think that the reason why we can all appreciate such beauty is because we are all made in the image of the Creator God. We can relate to and communicate with people and the world around us through our God-given senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. Our pleasure, excitement or wonder might even prompt us to say „thank you‰ to God and to tell him how much we are enjoying his wonderful gifts of creation. Perhaps as we offer our thanks and praise to Him, wherever we are or whatever we are doing this Lent, we might also make more time for our own personal thanks and praise: for our homes, our friends and for the everyday things that we sometimes donÊt notice because theyÊre so familiar. It has been said that ÂBeauty in the eye of the beholderÊ means that beauty doesnÊt exist on its own but is created by observers. Maybe this Lent we could choose to become more observant of the things we see, hear, touch, taste and smell and by doing so we could perhaps understand more about God and his creation. With love in Christ Linda - 5 - Spruced up St David’s ilwyn Jones, the Master Builder, his assistant Darren, and Decorator DDouglas Preece have been beavering away at St DavidÊs.

  • 'IARRIAGES Introduction This Volume of 'Stray' Marriages Is Published with the Hope That It Will Prove
    S T R A Y S Volume One: !'IARRIAGES Introduction This volume of 'stray' marriages is published with the hope that it will prove of some value as an additional source for the familv historian. For economic reasons, the 9rooms' names only are listed. Often people married many miles from their own parishes and sometimes also away from the parish of the spouse. Tracking down such a 'stray marriage' can involve fruitless and dishearteninq searches and may halt progress for many years. - Included here are 'strays', who were married in another parish within the county of Powys, or in another county. There are also a few non-Powys 'strays' from adjoining counties, particularly some which may be connected with Powys families. For those researchers puzzled and confused by the thought of dealing with patronymics, when looking for their Welsh ancestors, a few are to be found here and are ' indicated by an asterisk. A simple study of these few examples may help in a search for others, although it must be said, that this is not so easy when the father's name is not given. I would like to thank all those members who have helped in anyway with the compilation of this booklet. A second collection is already in progress; please· send any contributions to me.

    ADRODDIAD BLYNYDDOL / ANNUAL REPORT 1981-82 MAXWELL FRASER BEQUEST & TREFIN ARCHDDERWYDD CYMRU BEQUEST 1982001 Ffynhonnell / Source The late Maxwell Fraser (Mrs Edgar Phillips), Slough, Berkshire. Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1981-82 Disgrifiad / Description A brief description of this bequest appeared in last year's Annual Report. It consists of the manuscripts and papers of Maxwell Fraser (1902-80), authoress and travel writer, and of her husband, Edgar Phillips (`Trefin', 1889-1962), to be known at the testator's request as the `Maxwell Fraser Bequest' and the `Trefin Archdderwydd Cymru Bequest'. The `Maxwell Fraser Bequest' is by far the larger group and contains correspondence ; diaries with detailed entries, 1933-80, and a journal of a tour of Poland in 1930; drafts and typescripts of books, articles, and broadcast scripts; notes and material relating to the testator's researches in connection with these works including a large group relating to Lord and Lady Llanover and the Hall family ; circulars, newsletters and correspondence relating to the many societies of which the testator was a member (the Cambrian Archaeological Association, the International Arthurian Society, Kilvert Society, Offa's Dyke Association, P.E.N., Sherlock Holmes Society of London and other societies which reflect her interest in literature, history and archaeology, music and Celtic matters). There is a substantial amount of correspondence (letters received and copies of replies), much of it connected with the preparation of the testator's many books, articles and guides, and with her work preparing publicity material for the Great Western Railway and British Railways (Western Region) (including Holiday Haunts, 1929-62).

An important principle for our work is to aim to achieve a better democratic balance within each council area so that each vote cast in an election is, so far as reasonably practicable, of the same weight as all others in the council area. The achievement of this aim, along with other measures, would be conducive to effective and convenient local government. At the beginning of this review process we have found some considerable differences between the numbers of voters to councillors not only between council areas in Wales, but also within council areas themselves. The Commission is constrained by a number of things in the way we undertake our work: • The basic “building blocks” for electoral divisions are the community areas into which Wales is divided.

  • Y Grŵp Addysg a Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Education and Public Services Group
    Y Grŵp Addysg a Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Education and Public Services Group Eich cyf/Your ref Ein cyf/Our ref ATISN 10272 5 April 2016 Dear , Request for Information – ATISN 10272 – A copy of Welsh Government 21st Century Schools Survey for Powys Schools. Thank you for your request which I received on 4 March 2016 about a copy of Welsh Government 21st Century Schools Survey for Powys schools. The information you requested accompanies this letter. It is taken from a survey that was conducted on behalf of the Welsh Government by a contractor in 2010. Since then works may have been carried out on many of the schools listed and therefore the list may not reflect the current state of those school sites. The 21st Century Schools and Education Capital Investment Programme targets schools in poor condition and many of them will benefit from that investment. No further surveys have been carried out by or on behalf of the Welsh Government since 2010. If you are dissatisfied with the Welsh Government’s handling of your request, you can ask for an internal review within 40 working days of the date of this response. Requests for an internal review should be addressed to the Welsh Government’s Freedom of Information Officer at: Information Rights Unit, Welsh Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ or Email: [email protected] Please remember to quote the ATISN reference number above.
