Village Life - Aberkenfig and Sheilagh's Thoughts...

This is a place for stray thoughts and musings on and from my home village after thirty-odd yearsaway.

I have recently moved back to Aberkenfig, my home village and have decided to write about it. I have a mixed Welsh, English and Maltese heritage and have spent some time (decades!)in Cardiff. I gave up fulltime work to go part-time and write. I am a mediator, trainer, facilitator, advocate and consultant and also do regular work with adults with learning disabilities - and love doing so. What else? I'm a very contented feminist living a pleasant life back in the village...

Snow...

I love wandering around Aberkenfig and the surrounding area so was lovely to see it in the snow. Click on pictures for bigger version.

Hi Vivian,
I do indeed remember Mrs Thomas and Marian and of course Mrs Dowd as I knew them! I often think of them when I pass Ynysawdre parish Hall where the Ambuance meetings/training took place although I seem to remember it being in a scouts' hall on Queen Street Brynmenyn where there are still prefabs from the forties or fifties.

I have a vague memory of a young man who wore winkle pickers who sometimes called in - was that you?! There was also a man called Wyndham who sometimes dropped in but no idea who he was!
