What a fabulous presentation. The song is fabulous, coupled with the images of the Afan Valley redolent with memories. I can smell the sulphur, the coal, the trucks steam, the tarry atmosphere of my childhood. And dont forget the sheep amidst of all this carnage, they were still on the hillsides, above the houses snaking up the valley. It captures the hiraeth and the security of my very industrialised childhood. The dirty river Afan once polluted with coaldust and anything else such as old prams, bikes, sardine tins and all manner of rubbish now runs cold and clear again. The valley has gone back to sleep. Links in with my e book 'Nantybar ' which documents the rise and subsequent disappearance of one of the Afan Valley communities. All gone. all lost!Best .................... Bee
