Inspired by Edith Morgan’s daily walk to the bakehouse, pupils from Narberth C.P. School made bread this morning and took it to ‘Pizza Pete’ to bake in his wood fired oven! Many thanks to them, Peter & PLANED, Arwain Sir Benfro 2020 & Heritage Lottery Fund for their support. #WOWW #lotterysupported
Quote of the day: ‘Can we come to the museum every week’?

Last week we had the privilege of talking to 97 year old Edith Morgan about her life and her memories of her mother and grandmother.
One question we asked was ‘how do you think the lives of women have changed during your lifetime’? She replied: ‘Freedom…much more freedom; and after the war…it was good to get back on an even keel…and I was free…The woman in my mother’s day wasn’t free to go and do things that she liked. But I was.’
A huge thank you to Arwain Sir Benfro, PLANED and the Heritage Lottery fund for the opportunity to capture these valuable insights into the lives of Welsh women for future generations. #WOWW
We were joined by storyteller Sonia Caller and her musician friend Justine this morning for ‘Myths and Mavericks’, the stories of inspiring Welsh Women. A huge thank you to them, Narberth C.P.School and Arwain Sir Benfro’s LEADER fund for their contribution.
