Neil McAllister’s retracing the steps of his youth in Welsh seaside town Barry in our May 15, 2021 issue.
The area has become associated with the BBC comedy “Gavin & Stacey“. However, in the 1960s, its seaside delights were a regular childhood treat.
Neil looks back fondly on the days of Butlins holidays and we will also join him on a visit to Dyffryn Gardens. The Exotic Garden is well named, and we will encounter a stand of palms and even banana trees.
There are many lovely drives and walks from Barry, too. Along the way, we will take in some of the filming locations of “Gavin & Stacey”, too.
The sound of baaing newborns can be heard as I approach the barn where shepherdess Zoe Colville farms in Kent. ‘Oh my God, it’s so amazing to see another human!’ she tells me enthusiastically.
By the time I’m inside sitting on a hay bale, the ridiculously cute lambs are making a deafening din as they fight for Zoe’s attention, desperate to be picked out of their pen and cuddled.
With her long, strawberry-blonde hair pulled back and her overalls caked in mud, she apologises for her unkempt appearance and explains she’s been up all night helping a ewe deliver triplets.
