Bought your books at your booth in Oak Brook and liked them very much. Lyn when will the third book of your trilogy be out? Hope to see you next year in Pittsburgh.

At 9:38am on July 21, 2008, Lyn & Sharon Clarke said…: Hey Dai.I thought of the Welsh Guardsman's name [who I played rugby with in Cheshire] it was Mike Gladwin and he was a good tearaway forward the kind that would run someone over than go around him.Talking about Max Boyce, remember "I met her in the Con Club in Pontypool" a line in one of his songs. Well, this past May I was in the Con Club. I was back home pedling my books and did signings in Newport, Cwmbran, Pontypool [2] and Blaenavon. At Ponty I rented a table at the market because there are no book shops there anymore.It wowked out quite good as I sold every copy that I had with me [about 100] My son came down from Doncaster and we went up from Caerleon and had a few pints at the Colliers' the Labor in Vain and the Sally all up the tranch area. I also went to the Race Club at the top of Blaendare Road and quite honestly there is not too much of note left in the old town. Luckily I still have a good number of my old rugby playing budies left and they always make me welcome although some of them are no longer around. Did I tell you that at one stage of my life I played for Ponty United and my father was captain of that club when it was known as the Harlequins before WW11. All the best. Lyn [the flying Welshman].

My memoirs are coming along slowly, but I will get there. My memory is too good,, when I get halfway through a paragraph I remember something else and have to go back over it. Looking for a British publisher. Spent some time with 'snowbird' Welsh Guardsman in The Towers, St. Petersburg. May do another Florida trip this winter. Relative3s in Ft. Lauderdale. My cousin was mayor.. The USA v Argentine is on the TV now. 75,000 at Giants Stadium in New York. It's catching on. Keep your powder dry, Dai..

I lived on the other side of town in New Inn. A little estate off Jerusalem Lane. It was but a short walk to Llandegfedd Reservoir and a short drive to Cwmbran Town center. The family bought a bigger place in Croesyceiliog after a while and my mother now lives in Ponthir.

Its good to hear that Pontypool Rugby Clubs' star is on the rise. I must admit I'm a bit out of touch with the sporting scene over there these days but I have fond memories of going to watch the match in Pontypool Park. I seem to remember, although I dont recall the year, one glorious occasion when Pontypool were the only club to beat a touring New Zealand XV. They beat the Welsh national side as well but Pontypool humbled them. A night of intense celebration followed.....lol.

I see from your website that both you and Sharon are authors. To my shame I have not read your work, a deficiency that I will seek to remedy immediately. I am a voracious reader and anything with a Welsh theme is grist to my mill. Might we possibly feature you in our Welsh Books of The Month Club at some point?

Hwyl am Nawr
