'A Liverpudlian in Wales' |
Growing up in Liverpool, I had the great fortune to pay many
family visits to Wales and have very happy memories.
In the fullness of time, when I was teaching in London,
I had a number of close Welsh friends and colleagues.
Eventually I married someone from Wales, so I now enjoy frequent visits.
My talk will reveal some of the best memories
of my trips
to Wales over the years. |
