Being both from Vermont and from ancestors who were Welsh I immediately went and bought Carwyn’s book. Enjoying it immensely so far!
Hi Christie! What a coincidence that you are from Vermont, that made me giggle. So happy you enjoyed the episode and are enjoying the book too. I absolutely loved both the information in it and Carwyn’s beautiful writing. Thanks for commenting 🙂
