We checked out a few charity shops, and got a few things from a local bakery. If you fund yourself in the Llandovery area check out La Patisserie at 2 High Street. Find them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/La-Patisserie-Llandovery-1868836196703173/ The pastry on their pasties and pies is fantastic, and the bread is great as well, very friendly service.
