Blaze told me to come here and talk about meself

So here goes .....am originally from Porthcawl South Wales (midway between Cardiff and Swansea) hubby is also. we live in Greenville South Carolina husband is a senior manufacturing engineer with Allied Signal Aerospace Div. I putter with buying and selling antique jewelry. Have two grown sons both born in these United States, we retain our Welsh heritage though we are now US citizens, we just joined the melting pot and assimilated very well.

We live close to the mountains and also the great carolina beaches. My idea of a wonderful few days is to visit Charleston SC and enjoy the historic buildings and history .........great seafood also. Hilton Head Island for a golfing weekend thats if you are in to hitting balls

Welcome to the site.

I love Charleston too, one of my most favourite places in the US so far.

I live in NC and visited the NC mountains twice this year. I had a memorable and enjoyable vacation in Charleston a couple of years back.

Celts readily intermarry with their neighbours and absorb them. From the earliest times the Welsh have been looked upon as an unclean people. It is thus that they have preserved their racial integrity. Their sons and daughters rarely mate with human-kind except their own blood relations. In Wales there was no need for legislation to prevent the conquering people intermarrying with the conquered. In Ireland that was necessary, for there intermarriage was a political matter. In Wales it was moral. I hope, by the way, you have no Welsh blood?"
