weekend break

Writing this has become addictive, I'm a long way from a network connection, but I will try to use Bluetooth on my mobile-phone. to post something.
It's the bank holiday weekend, we headed west, so I can sit in the van, look out over the Irish sea accross which many of our ancestors sailled.
On the way here we drove through Haverfordwest, a place which gets a mention in a letter from Caesar Colclough of Tintern to a Mr John Kennedy, dated 15th June 1840 in this correspondence he is lamenting the cutting down of some of his woodland for profit... "But nothing can compensate for destroying my mother's Serpentine Walk. I was but 6 years old when the 12 trees now alluded to, were by her planted, my brother 10 months younger (now 69 years ago) and the last we knew of parental care, my father abandoned us all, went off in his yatch, took up with a Welsh girl Betty Watson, in Haverford West, and abandoned himself to dissolute habits, leaving my mother, self, and brother dependent on my grandfather Grogan for existence, yet, the trees my mother planted were the only produce of his vast estates he respected."
Caesar's father was 'siir' Vesey, I wonder how many of his descendants are around here, just north of Fishguard Pembrokeshire.
