I just wish to share with you a web site I found, and what I wrote there regarding the Rhondda, the place where I was born. It's quite short, but if you have time please check out the link.

Please take a look, the Rhondda Valley is truly known throughout the world, my comments are short, the link you need to see.

Hi there,
From a Valley’s Boy,
Rhondda, a place where I was born and raised, what a place, at one time, space for space, it was one the most heavily populated places in Europe. Collieries were everywhere you cared to look, a hive of activity in every corner, black faces, smiling coming home from work.
Not today, the collieries are long gone, but the people, well the children and grandchildren of miners, still have their traditional warmth and kindness, and long may it last.

I have written a book about the people of Rhondda, as they were in the 50 and 1960s, I know many people have read the book, continually, I get comments. It’s about how it really was, about real people who worked, lived and died in my Rhondda.

So yes, you could say it’s about Reflections of the Rhondda, please, get hold of a copy and read it. The story really shows how it was, and how the people handled the hardship. Rhondda’s resilience was legionary, and what is more, that tenacity is still there to this day. Please, if you haven’t already read this book, you must, really must got hold of a copy and read it.

The book is: “Of Boys, Men and Mountains”
