Village SOS - Talgarth

I think the programme is still on iPlayer.
This was the start of a new series, and featured Talgarth flour mill over a year, from derelict ruin to working flour mill and cafe and bakery, with the help of many volunteers from the village, and grant funding. It was lovely to see the old mill rise like a phoenix from the ashes, with a new mill leat and wheel, and the old tatty sheds cleared away to make space for the new cafe, and the 'bakery team' experimenting with breads and getting advice from All Saint's Cafe in Hereford about how to run a good cafe when none of them had done anything like it before.
And it was a triumph!
I'm looking forward to taking my little nephew there when my sister's family come up for more than a flying visit.

And now the car park in Talgarth is full, the co-op is half empty of stock and every 5 minutes someone walks past the window coo-ing about George the Butchers having it's own slaughterhouse.

Hopefully the 'honeymoon period' will soon be over and the quiet town I moved to will return
