Cornwall is gorgeous @Shaz51 Also loved Wales - a little town called Llangollen in the North was my favourite ...could have seen myself moving there when I was younger.

@Zoe7, I felt like I was home in cornwall and then to find the house my family lived in in the 1860`s was wow

My Irish side was less understood, as my father died when I was young and he had no rellies, so I was a little distant from it, but connected through it first through literature James Joyce and Uris' Trinity and Yeats etc ...

@Shaz51 @Zoe7

Good culture for writers @Wanderer

Love James Joyce and Yeats @Appleblossom

@Zoe7 @Wanderer , @Appleblossom

Great @Wanderer

I just had vague notion dad went to the Celtic Club ... and then there is the name ...haha ... that gives it away ... but nobody in family knew proper pronunciation ... I even remember dad saying there were 2 ways ...to say it ...

I am a writer too and have finally a desk and room aside. The material is very sad, ahhh no surprise ... so I am trying to get more connected and social before I retire to my cave and write ..

@Zoe7 @Shaz51

Think there was more than one to a bed ... certainly more than one to a room ...

went to Canberra way before my cousin`s twins were born in 1990 @Zoe7 , @Wanderer , @Appleblossom

my cousin lived there and my aunty, cousin and I rode our bikes over black mountain
