I feel like I have disappeared from Wales slightly and feel the need to reconnect to all things Welsh. I met the wonderful Lynn Hunter the other week and she teased me for my absence and silence.

When you stand in a muddy puddle, you are a giant, a world destroyer, a builder. You leave an imprint that moulds and creates. But as you leave that imprint disappears. Slowly and by degrees.  

My hometown's muddy puddle is changing. Parts of it have disappeared completely: existing now only as memories. Slowly, their imprint disappears.

We follow two families and local town folk in their daily life for the first part between 1901 to 1904 and the second part from 1904 to 1913.…
