Gentlemen, I am truly humbled by your comments. Truly. It matter greatly to me that it comes from you, and from Adam and Rob Williams, who have also made similar remarks. My father has always said (my own example of @shitmydaysays) that writers write for other writers. Whether that’s a cynicism or not, it is still hugely gratifying to hear such things from you.

For my money, the best thing we’ve run this week is Adam’s piece on grief. To my mind, this is the essence of WalesHome.org, kicking against perceived wisdom, saying our own things. It’s been a purple week for us, and I hope we can carry on in such a way.

Da iawn to all of you. Of course, I would dispute what you’ve said – you’ve all produced pieces of which we can be – I am – immensely proud. It’s a good atmosphere to work in.

Clayton – I agree with you entirely. As an old sentimentalist, I was very moved and proud when I read the article this morning. Duncan has done an exceptional job here.

With apologies all other WalesHome contributors, this is the best article I have read on the site, by some considerable distance. Thanks Duncan.

PS. Jesus Jones were right about Romania. I visited the country last year and, some 19 years after the abrupt and violent revolution, it was still in a sorry mess.

I visited a lot of Russian bases around Berlin. The West had nothing to fear.
