Bore da Janice,
Sut mae'r tywydd? it is blowing a gale here on the South Coast of England, very mild for the time of year but wet.
Thank you for the T Shirts, they arrived yesterday. Babs and I were very pleased with them.
Any Swansea Jacks in your Association - people born in Swansea/Abertawe. Swansea Jack was a dog who saved a few people from drowing and they know have a bust of his head on a plinth opposite St Helens rugby ground it was there when I was a boy - but people still talk of the dog as if it was yesterday.

Babs and Steve Davies
More from Steve & Babs
Have you ever managed to visit Wales? A lovely country although denude of heavy industry now that the coal mines and steel works have closed. Within 5 miles of where I lived in Swansea there were 7 working mines now there are none.
We still have some of the best choirs in the world - my home town choir is the Morriston Orpheus although my favourite is the Treorchy Male Voice. When both choirs sing our National Anthem - Hen Wlad fy Nhadau I am transported back to Wales - although I left Wales at 17 to join the Army and have never lived there since it is still HOME.
Hwyl am y tro,
Steve and Babs
