A PROUD MOMENT FOR WALES!

What an incredible achievement for Matthew Rhys, another very proud Whitchurch boy, making history at the Emmy Awards! 🎭🏆🏆

And this one feels especially special to us here at La Cucina da Mara. ❤️
Matthew’s parents are loyal customers of ours, so we’ve had the pleasure of seeing them enjoying a coffee and a bite to eat at the café over the years. ☕️🍝
To see their son achieving such an amazing milestone on the world stage is something we can all be incredibly proud of.

From Whitchurch to Hollywood — what a journey! 🌟

Congratulations, da iawn Matthew! 👏🏆

Another very proud moment for Wales… and especially for Whitchurch village! ❤️
