Caerphilly Flower Festival – June 2025

The folk at Van Rd joined again with a number of Churches in Caerphilly to support the Caerphilly Flower Festival, an annual event organised by Caerphilly Town Council.

It was an opportunity to meet visitors from near and far. We had visitors from Abergavenny and Aberaeron, with the furthest coming from the town of Saint-Philbert-de-Grande-Lieu – a town located south of Nantes in France.

Diane and Rob Moverley dug up their O-level French to converse with them and establish we had a mutual friend in St Philbert who they had met as part of the twinning exchange between St Philbert and Radyr in Cardiff. Our newly found acquaintances commented ‘Le minded est trés petit’.
