Many of the books focused on nature, Welsh culture and farming and the number of people browsing and buying showed the interest and regard for these subjects. Although I couldn’t understand the ones written in Welsh, there were plenty in the English language to browse. I thoroughly enjoyed the show particularly the hour I spent in a bookshop where all the books were written by Welsh authors. I visited the Royal Welsh Show with a dozen other farm women from the South East Women in Farming group. I can’t think of any – it’s been a good year. It was lovely to see their delight in meeting old friends and reliving memories, knowing their stories will be enjoyed by many readers for years to come. It was launched in Kilkenny College last week and the lady who instigated it all, Freda Yates – past pupil, teacher and headmistress of the school, now in her early 90s, was delighted with the project as were so many other past pupils. I researched and wrote a social history of a girls boarding school focusing on the years 1909-1973 (the Collegiate School Celbridge amalgamated with Kilkenny College in 1973).
Favourite moment of 2017 (apart from own personal activity)
