The Carreg will be closing as a restaurant on Saturday 30th October. We plan on having a fantastic night to close on, so please book early so you won’t miss out. That goes for all next week as it is half term week and it being our final week of being open.

Scarlets are having a pretty good season so far. George North is really coming into his own and showing what an injection of young blood in a team can do. George is going out with our daughter in Jazz and can list ‘washer upper in The Carreg’ on his CV!

The second picture is our nephew, Tom (Top Row, Last but one from right) and his team ready for action! But it is a few years before he washes up at The Carreg yet!

Take Care

Last week it would have been John Lennon’s birthday. I have always admired his work before his untimely death and his love of early Rock’n'Roll is obvious in his music, especially when he covered Ben E King’s classic, Stand By Me. I think that The Beatles are as big a brand name worldwide as Microsoaft and Coca Cola with their influence reaching far and wide.

The brand name of The Carreg will be changing shortly, to better provide a service more in line with what people require in these changing times. We have purchased the domain name ‘live life simply’ and we will operate The Carreg, I dream of surfing, Boutique Suites, Eco eco, Tranqullity Garden, Pink Ribbon and the forthcoming Carreg Organic Holidays under the same banner. There will be an adjustment process so please ‘stand by me’ whilst these essential changes happen.

Have a fabulous week.

‘Ruth Carruthers, 24, is originally from the highlands of Scotland but currently lives in Glasgow, where she is doing a pretty good job of combining her love of nature, art, fashion and telling stories with words and pictures. As a kid, she spent most of her days outside, and she was always a bit of a water baby, but it wasn’t until she took a trip to the Caribbean in 2005 and saw first hand the destructive presence that humans are having on coral reefs that she knew what her mission was – that was the point of no return for her. Since then, she’s developed a passion for explaining green issues in a creative way and published her own environmental magazine last year. She has also been writing environmentally based articles for a variety of publications and websites, illustrating her work with her own pictures when possible, and has recently been appointed Environmental Correspondent for Huck magazine’s website. Ruth is passionate about marine conservation in particular, and works closely with NGOs and conservation charities to promote their work within the media. Ruth loves the eco friendly women’s range of Quiksilver and would love to see more people wearing it!’

If you read this blog on a regular basis, you will know Ruth is a Carreg friend, so the fact that she is now a Women’s Ambassador for Quiksilver clothing is a fantastic achievement! Ruth is a supporter of our new ‘Carreg Organic Holidays’ project and our ‘eco-eco philisophy’.

You can support, view and purchase Quiksilver’s new range at Wendy’s surf shop, Idos, across the road from The Carreg.

Next Friday, September 10th, we are holding our End of Summer Party. We will be barbequing, dancing to live music, playing games and just generally enjoing ourselves before the season changes. Please ring 01834862990 for further details.

Happily we are dog friendly in The Courtyard!

Last night we had a really fun time. Long time Carregular, Erin celebrated her 18th Birthday by taking over the entire restaurant, Courtyard and Tranquillity Garden and wearing her favourite Spiderman dress! She looked fantastic, the food was fantastic, the marquee was fantastic, the place was fantastic. Fantastic four times? Maybe a Fantastic Four dress would have worked too!

There is no party like a Carreg party! If you want to know more about events at The carreg, please ring us on 01834 862990 or e-mail us on info@livelifesimply.co.uk.

Have a fantastic Bank holiday weekend! We will be open mostly all of it!
