Keep an eye open for 'The Invasion', when the fields vanished and the barbed wire fences went up and the rivers were sent underground.

February 1963 - the month of my birth. Not that I have any memories. My mother spent a week at Glasfryn Maternity Home as a precaution of my early arrival and spent more frustrating weeks spent indoors unable to show off her new baby in her new Silver Cross high pram!

A wonderful story about the area in which I grew up, but set in the previous decade. It has given me an insight into life there before the relentless march of the modern housing estate engulfed the hill and the men he spoke of.

I Enjoyed that. it captures how welsh people - Like myself - shorten things. Like "the Cwm" And "The Graig" that's very familiar, to me.

Cheers.
Purely autobiographical. And yes, aimed at my mental age-group.

I think I'll have to slim it down a bit though. I get carried away.

I like that. I guess it's aimed at the 6-10 age group?
