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]. My ambitions were destroyed early, thanks mainly to my dad who kept saying I was an embarrassment. Later, I became a good skier and canoeist, not that my father counted them as valid sports. I once thrashed him at snooker which gave me great satisfaction!

Media release: Spectacular Brodick Castle projections launch Arran Arts Heritage Trail
BRODICK Castle is the backdrop for a spectacular display of artworks to mark the launch of the Arran Arts Heritage Trail.
The unique projection images feature the work of Joan Eardley, Jessie M King, Craigie Aitchison and Alisdair Gray, amongst others.
The image projections – combined with a public online symposium, chaired by broadcaster and writer Kirsty Wark – mark the launch of the trail on the 29th April.
The Isle of Arran has been the inspiration for many iconic artists and in collaboration with members of the local community, 20 locations with a featured artist have been identified to establish a new island-wide Arran Arts Heritage Trail. The trail aims to celebrate and document this rich cultural heritage for current and future generations.
When psychotherapist Rachel Weiss from Perth sat down to watch TV one evening she had no idea she'd soon be launching a movement that would help people around the globe.
