Growing up in Hengoed
I rememnber living at 21 Hengoed Road, with my grandparents, and my brother Glyn. How much fun we used to have, playing down on the Graig, sailing anything that would float on the river. Sometimes chasing the trains. In winter sledging down the hill. Walking to school where Mr Owen was the Headmaster, who bless his heart, helped me to find my goal to enter nursing school. I left Hengoed in 1966 and have been back twice, it still to me seems that time has not changed it too much.

My sister Pam Phillips had a friend Glenys Williams. We lived at 5 Heol Uchaf, then my parents moved to Bedwlwyn Road in Ystrad Mynach.

I remember another girl whose surname was Williams, a coloured girl who lived at the top part of Beech Drive, who I remember was also a friend of you both.
