Ynysfach WI Foodie & Floral Treat
On October 1st, as the trees start to change to the colours of Autumn
Twenty ladies of Ynysfach WI travelled to Lampeter for a day of culinary delights along with seasonal flowers and fun
Mr Gareth Richards, well known for being a Chef and for Flower Arranging, and who is much in demand
Treated us to a day to remember with every little detail meticulously planned
There was a welcome morning coffee and tea, and mini welsh cakes when we arrived
Before we moved to the ‘demo’ room, Gareth’s fully equipped kitchen of the very best kind
He was so entertaining, so personable, and gave us lots of tips to think about
He was truly an expert in his craft, and a clever sociable speaker of that there is no doubt
We then sat down to a meal we saw him cooking and that he had prepared for us
All themed around Autumn, which he made look so easy, with the minimum of fuss!!
It was tasty and nutritious, well presented and three-courses of a feast
Gareth even served us as a waiter, showing that his sense of duty never ceased
In the afternoon, we returned to the ‘demo’ room, to see him creating several floral displays
Which he duly raffled before we left, which the lucky winners kept as a reminder of the day
It was a delightful day and Gareth’s versatility was very special to see
Thanks again from the Ynysfach WI to a gentleman who has a gift for entertaining that comes to him easily
The day ended with tea and cakes before we boarded the bus for the journey homeward bound
An interesting experience offered by Gareth Richards and family, and surely one that they can be proud to have found!

We previously reported that the ‘Men’s Shed’ members had provided a bench in memory of Mr Paul Morgan, so the following photographs were taken at Ynysfach Primary School the same day as the above football tournament.
