Bob's Party

The much advertised birthday of Bob L deBerry has taken place. A good crowd of people gathered at his house at Cambrians to help him celebrate. I was probably the last one to turn up, as many appeared to have been there for tea, and had probably eaten Bob out of house and home. However I had the fireworks, so was made welcome. And there is nothing like Bob's home brew to replace any hunger I might have had.
The above photo is of one of his Woofer workers presenting a birthday cake. I was dismayed at the size of it, but it was evidently the second one presented, the other being a Danish cake, presented by a genuine Danish cake maker.
Other photos are on Bob's blog, the link to which is on the right of this page.
Thanks Bob, great party.

Cambrian's Caretaker

About 45 minutes drive up the valley from where I live, is a small community known as Cambrians. It is named after somewhere in Wales. Many years ago it had a hotel with a Welsh name. These days it has a few residents, and even more holiday homes. Recently, the school building which used to be there was returned, and put back on it's original sight.
One of the assets the village has is Bob ldeBerry. He has been living there for some years, knows everyone, misses nothing, and has a refreshing outlook on life, one that can only be nurtured by staying out of the rush of life in the big smoke. He lives on his own, mostly, but never seems to be alone, as all sorts of people call and see him. He makes excellent home brew, but I am sure this is not the reason he has so many visitors. He sure can tell a story or two.
He is pictured above, leaning on the doorway of his mud brick house.
