Helping connect and support people in Saundersfoot
WELCOME
Saundersfoot Connect was originally started in March 2020 as a Facebook group set up by four friends from the village, Sarah Whiddett, Sara Hicks, Jackie Taylor & Ladan Harper. Its aim is to support residents and business owners in the village during the Coronavirus lockdown. The group’s overarching mantra is that people should only post to the group’s page if they could answer three questions; is it kind, is it true, is it useful?
Jackie, Ladan, Sara & Sarah
Initially intended to offer information and to keep people company (albeit online) the group quickly grew to a fabulous online community of over 3,000 members, full of positive, fun and informative posts. The four girls had no idea just how successful it would be.
Aware that not everyone uses Facebook – and needing a place to store the huge amount of information that was being collated into an easily accessible format – Team SaraH (known locally as Sarah with the blue hair & Sara without an aitch) along with more than a little help from Guy Willett from Pembrokeshire Web Design, set up this website which they hoped would be useful to all, not just during the current pandemic but in the future too as we find our new ‘normal’ and continue to support one another in our fabulous community.
You’ll find a wealth of information on here, together with a viewable link to our Facebook group (no need to join Facebook, you can just enjoy the contents of our page), regular updates and news.
We hope you enjoy the Saundersfoot Connect website. Please get in touch if you’d like to see anything added or have any ideas about new things you’d like to make happen. To go to the ‘Contact Us’ page, click here.
Stay safe, be kind and stay connected!

DAILY ROUNDUP
💙💙💙💙💙💙
During lockdown for the first time we started to watch Gardeners World …never seen it before but with limited options it became addictive viewing for us. One of the suggestions was to brew up a mixture based on horse manure - mixed it with water and left it to soak and unfortunately we forgot about it at the top of the garden. Found it today but my goodness does it pong - I'll let you know how I get on. I think the plants will bolt upwards to get away from the fragrance 🤣💙
You've been suggesting nominations for Super Service Saturday ..top of the list this week has been Sara Hicks' nomination- the NHS who are continuing to help us all to keep fit and healthy. Jane Lee and many other members also nominated the shops and their staff in our beautiful village. It's a very difficult time for our shops with limited numbers allowed inside and a large number of visitors around. You offered your thanks for their patience and continued cheerful attitudes ..Thank you everybody.
There have been lots of suggestions for films that we might want to watch, that we may have missed in the cinema. I have so many listed that I may need to stay in for a few days to catch up. Keep your suggestions coming. Having looked at the weather forecast for next week I think we may be grateful for some films to watch with a cup of tea and some biscuits.
Lets make the most of this fine weather whilst its with us, have a great weekend, fire up the barbeques and have a few outdoor drinks with those you love - Wally Norma Marr style.
In order to keep things fresh and interesting I am changing up the Daily Roundup for the weekend. Next weekend we will have a roundup on Friday night and an extended roundup on Sunday night. See you all tomorrow for Julie Davies Seashore Sunday.
Thank you Dan Harper for the beautiful picture. Nos da pawb.

Beautiful x 💕
A beautiful day and Roundup...enjoy having your Saturday evenings back Ladan 👏☀️💛💙
Love that photo, thanks Ladan, Gardeners World is one of our favourites.😊🌺🌻
Am going to try and keep this brief (I’m not always good at that) to say that I’m home now after suffering from a perforated appendix last weekend.
All I can say is, the service I have received from every member of the NHS has been amazing - #super service Saturday isn’t enough, it was more like incredible but that doesn’t begin with S so that’s no good!! Friendly, reassuring, kind, compassionate, professional and they listened too - I don’t want to list individuals for fear of missing someone out but fair to say I’ve used the full range of the NHS from 111, 999, our local pharmacy, our local surgery and Glangwilli Hospital where together they all saved my life, having emergency surgery on Sunday afternoon. The only one person who I will pick out is the paramedic who pulled over in a lay-by to give me morphine - I love you!!
Thanks too for the lovely messages or comment from so many Saundersfoot Connect friends. I’m sorry I didn’t respond individually, I could only just about breathe in and out but I did read and will re-read them all 😍
I was compelled to do something positive as a mark of my gratitude to the NHS and set up a GoFundMe page which is directed towards the official charity that raises money for Pembrokeshire & Carmarthenshire NHS. I will pop a link below but this is just an aside, it’s not a plea for money. It was to be “instead of flowers”!
Thank you again everyone. Stay safe and be kind xx
