My Lovely Arms (series)
by
Alana Beth Davies (AKA Alana Jones, Alana Davies-Jones)
In the compilation edition of my little memory books, I have brought together the first 2 volumes, covering the period 1948 – 1969. In Volume 1, I wrote about my life up to the age of eleven in 1959 and back as far as 1918, when my grandparents married. In Volume 2 I venture into the 1960s, with all the pitfalls and surprises that could bring. It was not my intention to shock, embarrass or otherwise bring unwanted attention to others, so I may have left some details out. If anyone is looking for inspiring prose, this is not for you. I haven’t tried to raise the literary level in these little books. It’s a quick march through 21 years of my life, listing events, recalling some tiny details that won’t mean anything to others, but which have stayed with me.

Learning Something Every Day
by David Huw Thomas
Huw Thomas has lived in the village of Pwll, in his home town of Llanelli, south Wales, for all of his life – so far! After working in the retail sector for many years, he has now put pen to paper, documenting past and present, and giving his own world view on the things he sees around him.
In prose and poetry, Huw pays homage to people and places that have meant a great deal to him during his life. His memories are rich, and will resonate with his contemporaries, as he recalls the everyday events that we may have taken for granted, but have passed into the history books. Local shops, TV programmes, radio and music, these are all things we can identify with, and he jolts our own memories with his.
This is a true celebration of life. Joy and sadness, laughter and loss, Huw doesn’t shy away from any of them.
