I met a beautiful girl about 20 years ago from Ohio (West Virginia really) which prompted my move.

Absolutely the loveliest and prettiest woman I’ve ever met.
It’s absolutely absurd to me how we come to be, but come to be we did.

I miss Wales like crazy.
I spent 3 years in London and a good while in Australia with spells back home in between.
Hiraeth is still a very real as for me.

I tried to move us back after my mother died.
Something like Ł65,000 was required in the bank to show you could support it or a job for 6 months.

I had a crack and commuted on the train to Brizzle every day from Lliswerry in Newport...which meant a bus into town at about 6.20 to get to a train to Temple Meads and another train or bus from there to Clifton.

Come back to DC over that Christmas period to see the Mrs and basically quit on the idea.

Still hope we can do it one day!
