Also I treated myself to a set of Sean's Maps - they are lovely - can't wait to get using them. I'm browsing Harmon's 'You are Here' at the moment which is wonderful too.jemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08181038873568527264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451211466898351699.post-23681590770238708702013-01-21T15:14:24.683+00:002013-01-21T15:14:24.683+00:00I'll ask Mam and Dad if they remember.

When I'm next back in Port Talbot I'll check the newspaper archives at Port Talbot library for the two little boys who died. <br /><br />I remember the snow of 1963, have a strong memory of looking out of the front room window onto Chrome Avenue.

There is nothing on the internet about that terrible accident. I don't know why that should be. It was a Monday like today and the famous snows of that year were about to fall. I remember one of those boys and I often think about him. <br /><br />I enjoy your site despite being a vegan with no interest in cooking or novels. It is a long time since I left Sandfieds but I think about the place every day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451211466898351699.post-61936273388707682542013-01-18T19:56:04.512+00:002013-01-18T19:56:04.512+00:00Hi Jem - do you know the book 'Maps of the Ima...Hi Jem - do you know the book 'Maps of the Imagination: The Writer as Cartographer' by Peter Turchi.
