A Memory of Penrhiwceiber.

I was born Rita Maureen Thomas in Penrhiwceiber and lived there until I married in 1958, then moved to Stoke on Trent, most of my life I lived at 161 Penrhiwceiber Road. My father's name was John Rowe Thomas, my mother was Pheobe Thomas. I had two brothers who are now sadly dead, John and Cecil, my sister Ellen, known as Nellie lives about a mile from me. When I speak of home I mean Penrhiwceiber and I will be visiting there next Friday and cannot wait. We are staying in Cardiff for two nights first. I want to walk through Penrhiwceiber, that may sound silly to some people but I will feel home. Anyone thinking of leaving Wales, my advice is don't, your heart will stay there xx
