John / John the Sailor of Pembrokeshire is consort to Shan of House Morgain. STEVE & HELEN  Steve having been introduced by the farseeing lady Kim via Cardiff CUPS, has been a determined returner to get work done. Lugging, scraping, painting, drinking, squiring his lady, laughing - Steve's the man. He has introduced both Sarah and Helen to House Morgain. COLIN  Colin in his favourite corner, enjoying a well earned break. Colin of Swansea has rapidly become an honoured Elder of House Morgain, not only giving day after day after day of efficient, cheerful work, but also surrounding us all with his calm strength and gentleness. Not forgetting a slightly wicked wit! KITCHEN  July 8 we have a fully functioning kitchen! A few more shelves and a paint job and it's done. Door is into entrance hall, serving hatch to side into lounge. By the stove is the back door into a courtyard where the hot tub is awaiting assembly in boxes.KITCHEN REFECTORY  Other end of the room. Already this looks better see pic above! But the two big oak tables, oak welsh dresser and the general warm feeling remains. The lady by the window is the lovely Tina who teaches belly dance. BIG CONVERSATION AREA  Three big couches around a large oak table. More fixed couches round the walls. By moving one couch from centre to side this can be a big circle to seat around 20+ people. Door to rear is from entrance hall. SMALL CONVERSATION AREA  This could be useful when splitting a group or just for a friendly chat. Will have bay window with leaded lights looking on to garden, long green velvet curtains. The lounge is to be painted white to lighten it.
