+I was born in England and now live permanently in Australia.I have no welsh heritage that I know of.I was a war orphan and both my birth parents were killed in the blitz in London in 1944.

I love the Welsh for their choirs and singing.Bread of Heaven sends chills up my spine.I am still a Tom Jones fan and love the passion the welsh put into their sport particularly Rugby..I was an avid reader so I read many books about the welsh coal mining and How Green is my Valley is a great book.I think the English were right to recognise the Welsh as being a separate entity.As a young boy I used to watch the Rugby Internationals on the BBC on Saturday afternoons when commentators knew the game and the players so well.I forgot to mention I love Caerphilly Cheese too.I love everything Welsh .Any comments anyone ????

The truth is where you choose to find it and your view is as valid as the next man's, but there are other true versions that are completely opposite. We all edit life as we go along and process our experiences.

I used to live in Adelaide, where are you Ian? I went back there three years ago after a 32 year gap to discover that my memory had edited out the fact that it gets chilly at night there in April!

Viva Peter Lehman's shiraz!
