I love my nice things, but I'm still the Welsh family girl.

My Welsh grandmother Mair didn't meet my grandfather until she was 28, quite old to be unmarried in the early '40s.

I'm a proud Welshman.

I came to England in 1962 as a very young bride, in my teens, hoping just to stay two years and go back.

I have an English family and I've lived in England for years.

My wife is Dutch and very independent. She never wanted or needed to be married.

My husband hailed from Dagenham; he's an Essex boy. Me myself, I come from Derry City in the northwest of Ireland, so we love to get back.

My two elder sisters married Englishmen and went abroad.
