Aberglasney

And through his new creation lead the Ouze,
And gentle Cammus, silver-winding streams:
God like beneficence; from chaos drear
To raise the garden and the shady grove.


     Over to Aberglasney yesterday and a talk given by Tom Lloyd, historian, antiquary and herald.  His subject the Rudds and Dyers, the two most important families to own the house. It is one of a series of events this year to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the restoration of the gardens and house from, in John Dyer's words, 'chaos drear'
     The gardens are looking particularly fine, it has to be said, at what is, after all the crown of the year.
