WRITERS ABROAD MAGAZINE My heart will always belong to the Rhondda Valley, but my life is here and now and I am enjoying every moment of my adopted land. What can be pleasanter than lunching in the sun — beneath the shade of a gazebo or parasol, of course — that meal taking three or four hours, maybe longer? And what is more relaxing than walks through orange and lemon, almond and olive groves, greeting familiar faces and strangers alike?

I hope I will be enjoying it to the full for many years to come. 13 | S e p t 2 0 1 4
