• Oldest Family Photo

    This picture was taken in 1894! It’s of my paternal great grandparents with their two babies. The smaller baby is my grandmother, who lived to be 93. The photo was enhanced and colourised using Luminar Neo.

  • Storytelling

    Write about a few of your favorite family traditions.

    My paternal grandfather was a proper Welshman. He said he remembered, as a kid, sitting on a pile of bardic texts. The Welsh love storytelling, and information gets passed down from generation to generation. For example, there’s a tradition in my family that the reason our ancestors sought refuge among the hills of north Wales, was to escape the Roman conquest of Britain some two thousand years ago.

    Although my family has become Anglicised, we still love telling stories.

  • Pizza Pizza


    I once worked in a pizza shop, as a delivery driver. It was a second job. There was no requirement on me to do anything other than deliver food, but between orders, I helped in the back kitchen, and behind the counter selling pizzas and kebabs and suchlike.
    It was there that I made friends with an Egyptian fellow called Mohamed. He was a lovely guy, and he taught me how to make pizza bases from scratch. There was an industrial quality mixing machine to help with that process. I really enjoyed working at the pizza place.
    The pay was poor, but one bonus was that we could make a pizza for ourselves and take it home. I love pizzas. My favourite is a seafood pizza with tomato sauce, herbs (thyme and oregano), tuna and/or prawns, lots of mozzarella cheese, topped off with anchovies and olives.
