Wales Antiques This blog will from time to time complement my Wales Antiques Web Site and its printed companion. The guide is a developing listing of general suppliers of antiques and collectables in Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Powys and beyond; it now including auctions and in the future specialist heritage related attractions. Over 23 years it has become an essential resource for anyone with an interest in buying and selling antiques and collectables in West Wales and Beyond. If you would like to know more visit the site here.

Barley Saturday has come and gone and I realised that in the nearly 40 years I have lived in Ceredigion, mostly around Aberporth and New Quay, I had never joined the throng for Barley Saturday. Living ‘in town’ there’s no reason not see the fun and UMSINGA has become a stopping off point for those from further afield. And of course a wonderful opportunity to float around snapping the horses and trucks, tractors and cars. Oh and this year, though VeloTivy cyclists were a no show (presumably even the hint of rain makes your lycra clench) there were TWO scooterists, Ian and Danny. A fine sight weaving amongst the other vintage traffic.
No shots of scooters here though; here’s my favourite from the afternoon.

And here’s a slideshow of the rest.

The Lads have mooted a trip to Holt in Norfolk to an outfitters we know. All for it we’ve already hit a stumbling block; what vehicle?
Rummaging through my files of old family photos I found this of Mr Leslie Harry Williams, my paternal grandfather.
A committed smoker and a forester to boot he doubtless needed to wear only the toughest and most hardwearing of clothes. Nothing synthetic in this ensemble.
The car though. How tantalising and I daresay just the thing for a trip ‘cross country.
