Bethan and I visited Talley House in 2014 and this was taken in front of the old house where as a child, I spent some of the happiest days of my life. It seemed huge with creaky stairs, big rooms including a kitchen with stone floors and a big Aga which kept it beautifully warm. My early memories include the oil lamps as electricity had not yet reached that beautiful part of Wales. Also there were acres and acres to play in and a huge lawn big enough for tennis or a serious game of cricket. If we grew tired of the house itself, there was a 1,000 foot mountain and lakes within easy walking distance. It was a magical place and if heaven is half as nice as this, I will be one happy camper!
