Great flash, Brian, with depth and bite. I gave it five stars.

Enjoyed this one. I liked how you pulled together life and death.

“How, for instance, would the Welsh valley take to a Yorkshire lass in their midst when they have plenty of gorgeous girls of their own…”

As it happens, the Welsh coal fields (and the English ones) drew people from all over Britain and Ireland, so perhaps as many as half of those there now are at least partly of non-Welsh ancestry. The Irish contribution meant that there were some catholics; the odds are that Frank had that sort of connection (though it still doesn’t feel right). The port area of Tiger Bay even ended up the first racially diverse part of Britain, with people coming from overseas too.

Nice story, Brian. I too can see a novel here, but then I often see that with your work.

From a butty.
