A boatload of mice have made their way to Solva on their ‘Big Cheese’ sailing boat. Under cover of night, they moored in the harbour and came ashore. Some stayed in Lower Solva, some went up the hill to Upper Solva and others have even ventured as far as Whitchurch. Where could they be hiding…? Pick up a free map from the Top Shop or Window on Wales and hunt them all! Or download a PDF map from the Solva Care website.

A boatload of mice escaped from being chased around Aberporth and have made their way around the coast to Solva on the “Big Cheese’ sailing boat. By cover of night they moored in the harbour and have come ashore. Some have gone up the hill to upper Solva, others have stayed in lower Solva… where could they be hiding?
Artist Peter Taylor in Aberporth did a similar project and Chris and Ellie Sherwin are organising the Solva one. If you are interested in painting a mouse – or mice! – please contact them on 07788 583602 or csdesigns@talktalk.net Mice can be painted directly onto walls, or bricks/tiles, and there will be a mouse trail map when they are all finished.

Shalom House had to close during lock down. Patients are still being cared for by clinical staff either remotely or in their own homes. We have an exciting plan for the next phase of development of Shalom House to continue our palliative care services but also to offer more facilities for the local community. We are currently advertising for a Care Manager to head up this development, supported by a Commercial Manager with special responsibility for income generation. Full details of these posts are on our website: www.shalomstdavids.org.
Exciting news!
We are very grateful to Jerome Flynn of Game of Thrones fame who will be hosting an online quiz to help raise funds for Shalom House on Friday 3 July, starting at 7.30pm. Details on our website and Facebook page. Plus there are prizes to be won! A great opportunity for friends and family to join in and have some fun.

Once again the curse of the abandoned dog deposit does not seem to go away.
The Patchins, the picnic areas, the airfield, the football field, the Quick – in fact everywhere – there is mess left and not dealt with because the dogs’ owners are irresponsible. Plus we are in lock down – work that one out. Obviously those responsible are local! Clean up after your dog – you could face a £1000 fine if reported.

In the doorway of the Hall in a (hopefully) waterproof plastic box are:
Jigsaw Puzzles
CDs
Books (including children’s).
All have been donated to the Hall. You are very welcome to select any that may help you to pass the time now that we all have more of it. No need to return but you may pass them on if you wish.
There will be a more permanent container in Parc y Capel (see Solva Care notice) soon, in which case we will transfer any remaining items to that. Please don’t hesitate… We can replenish the box if and when necessary. It is working quite well so far!

The scheme was launched by Gwyn Price of Bay View Stores and Sam Ellison, of I Love Solva, to cheer people up and let them know they are appreciated. It has been a huge success. The boxes are given free of charge to nominated people in the
community who may be struggling financially, tired as they’re a key worker or work for the NHS, or others who may just need a little pick-me-up. Nominations can be submitted to Bay View Stores via their Facebook messenger. To date Bay View
Stores, along with a dedicated team, have delivered over 250 Cwtch boxes of food to members of our community and surrounding area. But they need your help to keep it going:
• You can make a monetary donation and we will use this to buy items. (Please message on Facebook or pop into Bay View Stores)
• You can donate food items into our food pod next to the shop.
• You can nominate someone who needs/deserves a Cwtch Box.
Every donation means that we can carry on doing what we are doing and helping those who need it.
A huge thank you also needs to go to Richard at Whitesands Beach House, Sam and our Tetris box packing queen Jane, plus the other companies that have been involved. Not forgetting Gwyn!
