There are other events in life which in reality are a million miles away from our personal lives which have a similar effect on our memories, a nation’s memory, sometimes even the world.
In years to come I expect we will start to talk about where we were when we heard of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and that has made me look back at other world events that have left their mark on me.

I don’t think I’m nosey, I think I’m just interested…well that’s my excuse. My dad was the same. He couldn’t help himself just talking to people. That is how I found myself this week entering the ‘Swansea Library of Things’.

This week I had the chance to experience a ‘hot flush’ courtesy of Carolyn Harris MP and the Menovest. Man, I feel like a Woman.

It’s free to visit, its got the best food and produce and its open come rain or shine. Swansea Market is the Jewel of the City Centre and you’ve really got to go.

As the Swansea Grand Theatre celebrates its 125th birthday there is still life in the old lady. There is Grand Ambition again at the Swansea Grand Theatre and I’m delighted to be a part of this Revival.

But for all that my greatest memory this week has been that house in Pontcanna in 1982 watching the World Cup. If I’m honest, at the time, I was completely broken but Chris took me under his wing, made me feel at home and made me feel I had a future and for that I will be eternally grateful.
