The Bluestone Museum at our house called Trefelin has gone into storage, following the sale of the property a few days ago. After 48 years at the same address, we came to the conclusion, some time ago, that it was too big for us to manage any longer -- and the family agreed. Two dwelling units and 5 acres of land. We had a firm offer which we accepted, back in September. Since then, there has been endless correspondence with solicitors over the minutest of details. You know the sort of thing. So the last month or so has been chaos as we approached exchange of contracts and then completion. Now we are out, and the new owners are in -- and we are in temporary accommodation for 3 months while we look for somewhere small and convenient, in Newport. So it's a time of happy memories and high emotion...........
What will happen to my rocks and the rest of the display materials? Who knows? There is talk of a Newport Town Museum, and if that comes to fruition, maybe a corner will be found there for my disp-lay, which is unique in that it looks at all sides of the bluestone debate.
