OK, if I''m completely honest, since I''ve been quite ill just before my half-century, at the end of 2016, I realised that I hadn''t ever got around to passing on the stories of my childhood to my children; that cluster of experiences and characters from my past that have "helped" me become the person that their father is today. Memories of a childhood in late 60s and 70s Llanelli is considered within, though they''ll possibly be of no consequence to others, I hope that my girls find them of interest. This entanglement of belonging and of being are what has made me who I am and how I am. I''ve never written a book before, though I''ve created one many times and at many stages of my life in my head. English is not even my mother tongue. Welsh has and always will be more comfortable for me, though I''ll try to make Dr Martin Rhys, my English teacher, who I both revered and feared at Ysgol y Strade, proud.The childhood memories noted here are true from my perspective. Any factual mistakes
