Went back home to Merthyr last weekend to celebrate my niece's wedding. The do was at the Hills Plymouth Cricket Club (how's that changed since I used to play there over 30 years ago!)
Stayed at Pentrebach House which is now a kind of Travel Lodge. I remember when my Gran went there to stay when it was a nursing home of some kind. Hoovers still there, but now looking a bit run down, although the groundsman was out tending to the playing field. Took a trip over Ponsticill up to Pant, through Dowlais, over to Goat Mill Road and then to Twynyrodyn to meet my brother. Some places it was like stepping back in time!
