 Happy Days
I visited the Bosherston Tea Gardens every May Bank Holiday week from 1967-1972. The reward for walking from Broadhaven beach via the Lilly ponds was tea and a piece of iced cake complete with a cherry. On an earlier holiday the reward was a Chocolate 3D that as the name implies cost 3d.
It is a delight to find that the scene has not changed since 1972 and that the cafe is still open run by the same people. I am planning to return in July this year and look forward to visting the cafe.
Our holidays in Wales were the once a year opportunity to see Christopher, Martin and Janet. Alas Molly and Tony who introduced us to Broadhaven are no longer alive but we exchanged memories of Broadhaven at Molly's funeral in November 2006.

 Year: 1965 Happy days.......
I along with very many local girls over the years helped out at the Tea Gardens during the school holidays.
I remember going to the front door a few times to ask if they had a job for me and being so scared I came away with an ice cream instead.
I need not have worried as Aunty Vi and Don were so lovely. I enjoyed several happy years with them until I left school and the village to work away.
40 years later and I still look forward to seeing Aunty Vi when I go "home".

 A family business.
I am the lady at the door with my husband Don Weston. The date is about 1959 because that is the year we had electricity in the village and started to sell ice cream. Hence the Walls sign. My parents Mr and Mrs Caesar Evans started the tearooms here in 1922 and after my mother died in 1952 my husband and I ran this little business together very happily for fifty two years until his sudden death three years ago. But I have managed to keep the business going with the help of many good friends. I am now nearly eighty five and affectionately known by many customers as Auntie Vi. We sold your postcards for many years.
