About Glyndwr65
Proud to be Welsh and British. Keen for people all over the world to know more about Wales, and my home city Cardiff (which has the oldest record shop in the Universe and so many choirs that many people belong to several at the same time). Hobbies: music (mainly classical); history (especially 20th century); art; architecture; zany European gameshows (hence all the clips from Jeux Sans Frontieres - why don't they bring it back!); being a dad (when I have the energy!); rediscovering Welsh language and culture. Lifelong love affair with northern California from days of seeing it in movies as a child; one time resident of Berkeley, and Cal student. Great fan of the British monarchy, but wish they hadn't slaughtered the Welsh monarchy! Oh yes - and I love a good ghost story!
