Dear Princess Joan II, and Cuz's, The Ashgrove Apartments, are sitting on the Caerwys town square so it would be central to everything... sort of the hub place to gather as we do things. Dewie, owner of the Ashgrove Apartments is the gentleman who helped me contact Mayor Phillip Parry the very first time. I e-mailed the apartments [only e-mail I could find for someone in the town] and asked if he could contact the Mayor and tell him I needed to reach him about Dr. Thomas Wynne, because Gary Boyd Roberts was trying to remove the connection to Caerwys, Wales. Dewie was kind enough to pass on my message and that is when I received my first phone call from Mayor Phillip. I am very grateful for his help. I would however like to explain something ... Ashgrove Apartments is a timeshare apartment type of place. The owner Dewi [pronounced Dow-ie] rents them out for weeks or months at a time, especially for the summer. You will find him hesitant to rent for just four or five days because if he gets a reservation for the whole summer, which is usual for his place, and your in his apartment, he will have to let those proceeds for the whole summer go, because he has booked you in for those couple of days. I only tell you this to explain why he may be hesitant to confirm reservations until closer to the date. Also if you book at the Ashgrove Apartments and a Welsh home becomes available it would be rude to cancel the Ashgrove for a Welsh home... so please consider this when you are booking. Mayor Phillip has a area newspaper going out March 1st, announcing we are coming and asking the locals for help in lodging us in Welsh homes. He feels there will be rooms available in the local homes once this is published. Mayor Phillip is also working on hotels in the area, trying to place all who need in one place so that we are not spread out all over the place.... Mind you Mayor Phillip is doing all this around his daily job, and his Mayor obligations. Just a heads up to everyone.
