1965: I’m three here and my sister Meinir around 18 months, with my mother Aerona and father Hywel. He was a schoolteacher then Head of Welsh Language and Literature at Swansea University and died of pancreatic cancer aged 75. My mother, who did all the work raising us, is 84 and still lives in the family home in Llangennech. She’s my greatest supporter and a constructive critic. A bad haircut or a dodgy tie will be commented upon and she has a go if I look too tired
1972: I love rugby but I was a hopeless player. This is me aged about ten in my primary school team [back row, middle].

I once thrashed him at snooker which gave me great satisfaction!
