Fabulous Steffan!

Google maps, err no. We on the other hand will be moving to Llanilar in the next few weeks, so once the weather really starts to crisp up I will announce another West Wales shed meet, and there is a shed this time - though not in the manner of my old and faithful one.

As to the photo  I think this one was in town. Eventually he built Towy garage on the bridge which took up all the land back to the new bypass, he bought the houses along the river and various warehouses, a toy shop in the town, a rover dealership in crosshands and another in St Clears or something like that. He also got out of bikes at some stage.

Before you ask, it was all pissed away by previous generations - so alas I am a poor Anglican cleric with a motorcycle hobby.

I hope you won't go on the same diet as Dai Llanilar.A clergyman's salary wouldn't support that.

They will be waiting to tell you all about the character Dai Llanilar on your arrival.

Be warned-definitely do not invite Dai Llanilar to a shed meet if there's food there.

I don't know who this Dai is so how might I avoid inviting him?

Don't mention food,and he probably won't come.
