Di~This was a mining area too & it makes me sad how many are old before their time IYSWIM.
I agree beanielou.;)
My dad worked in a few coal mines as there were that many also in the Welsh Valleys, he often mentions them and thinks he still has to wake up by 4 am to go to work, and of course as you know yourself they worked way into dark, straight into freezing cold showers......:eek:.
And suffer for it at a young age too.The one and only "Dizzy Di"0 -

The only headmaster i ever had was Welsh. He was fantastic to me. I used to have to see him for extra reading classes. I used to read stories like Robinson Crusoe and Treasure Island when i was 6. I grew up in hospital and missed a lot of school but because of kind people like Mr Green i was encouraged and allowed to study with kids who were 3 years older than me.
He was such a kind man. His father was a coal miner he used to tell me happy stories. I miss him.
Great film that SW.:T
Yes that would be nice for you to visit Wales.
Sounds like you had a fab teacher too.:TThe one and only "Dizzy Di"0 -
