Phil Steele's First Walk In The Country.

I moved to llanrumney at a very young age and lived there until 1992 it was an amazing place to live back then. sedgemoor road was where I lived and it was a vibrant mostly happy place to live my niehbours were the morrises the waldens ,the bowdens the campsees just to name a few. in the summer we played mob ,kerb ball until it was dark we also made what we called boogies .basicly a scaffold plank with pram wheels attached, no brakes and we would take them to the top of countesbury hill behind our street and try to turn at great speed into our street at the bottom of the hill .more often than not we would crash .all the families knew eachother and mostly got on . and twice a year the dackrouse and spurier families would organise a coach trip to barry island . I used to get so exited about those trips , I would be at our gate with my bucket and spade looking up the street at 7 am, the coach wasn't due until 9 am, I didn't want to miss the coach at any cost
