Restless Aber

Is it ok for an Englishwoman to be relating Welsh Heritage stories? I do feel a bit uncomfortable but having passed this by locals who have given me a thorough critique; I thinks it is ok. After all I am putting my point of view across, from someone who has lived and worked in Wales for 30 years and has absorbed and embraced the local culture.

All stories have been researched carefully to find some sad stories, some challenging stories and a splatter of humour rolled in to the event- as you would expect from Aberdabbadoo. The research has taken a long time to create the right balance of social history, mischief and facts, but I hope it has brought up new stories and angles of stories that you will not be aware of.

As you would expect, my walks also include a sociable interval. I am collaborating with the Museum Cafe who is making you complementary home made soup and a roll using locally sourced goods.

It is a slightly longer walk, due to the long interval, its a’ linger longer’ event for Aberystwyth. All walking is on the flat but wrap up warm.

So, I am asking you to be the judge; should an Englishwoman be delivering stories of Aberystwyth? I hope you think so.

Comments from my early taster critiques say,

‘I thought I knew Aberystwyth but this is a real eye opener!’

‘Lift the lid on Aberystwyth’s non conformist past’.

‘Aberystwyth? Sgersli Bilif’

They didn’t get the complementary soup though!
