More specifically near Kidwelly.
I don't normally ask anything of anyone, so bear with me as this feels weird asking a bunch of total strangers this.

Tuesday 23rd would have been the day that my grandfather reached 100. Sadly, he departed this world just over 2 years ago and is buried in the graveyard of St. Mary's Church in Kidwelly.

I currently live in Maidstone and had always planned to visit this weekend and lay some flowers at the grave, but given the current covid hassles, it's a little bit too far to be able to justify.

Is there anyone vaguely local who would consider kindly taking some time out of their day to lay a bunch of flowers on my behalf?
I will gladly send the money for flowers and petrol plus make a donation to your charity of choice.
Thanks in advance, Richard.

Misson accomplished. It was an absolute pleasure to have been able to help! In times like these, we need to help each other out.

Huge thanks to Jon, he chose a very tasteful bunch of flowers and undertook a 40 mile round trip to deliver them.
I am blown away by his kindness and its massively appreciated by my whole family.
Definitely a very positive start to the week!

Well done that man.

Good to see some of the old ph/emsman/aerofoil culture of this place still alive.
