How nice that you could visit the farm and learn so much information....
Richard's cousin lives in Caio, they used to run the village pub across from
the church, but Jane had a baby and was also nursing in Glangwilli, so they
bought a house around the corner from the pub instead.....her and her
husband are both english and love it there.....we went to their wedding a
couple of years ago in Caio Church.....very quaint ......

Do you think the paintings will be haunted as well as the house?.......
