While at a wedding in Brynaman on Friday last week I found myself in the Brynaman Rugby Club for the reception. I came apon the George Burrow Lounge and attached to a pillar this piece of writing, unacredited, which records George's stay at the Inn at Gutter Fawr, now the rugby club. This and the image of the outside of the club taken with a mobile.

Midday Friday,  Dear KB, A sharp shower allowed me to stop for a pint in Llangadog. Landlady busy with her bible. We fell out, her being a Methodist. Couldn't finish the bitter - thnakfully rain stopped.  GB The text and image are missmatched. The text is tied to Llangadog the image from further along the route to Swansea at Saron. As you will note from the dates this piece of work is old and I am not sure, without further reference, where this image and text fitted into the narrative. The work is complete in this form. My intention from 2007 is realised, at last. - KB

Saturday p.m.  Dear KB, Arrived Swansea; staying at the Mackworth Arms. Had to press the staff to get my boots repaired in time for Sunday worship.  Regards GB

Friday p.m. The Inn at Gutter Vawr  Dear KB, The locals were a bit wary of me at first, but I think I brought them round. Still wet, hope for better tomorrow.  Regards GB

Friday P.M.  Dear KB, The night is coming on fast and I am uneasy about the mist pouring down the mountain. Looking forward to some warmth at the Inn.  Regards GB

10 March 2007 Dear GB, Arrived at the car park just up the road from Tro'r Gwcu. Bumped into Viv and Delyth taking in the view and enjoying the peace. Wind still sharp so no ice creams today. Regards KB.

10 March 2007 Dear GB,  Llangadog - weather fine and bright - warm for the time of year. While snapping away I noticed the boulders around the village green. Might prove inconvenient for your chums.  Regards KB

Friday a.m. Dear KB, Starting out from Llandovery. It is about the pleasantist little town in which I have halted in the course of my wanderings. Showers comming on.  Regards GB.

This the reason for the title of this blog and domain name. Pictured are me, KB and George Borrow, GB who was a walker and writer from the eighteenth century.
