Fly to Cardiff on Thursday to dismantle exhibition in Brecon. Hopefully this time the airline will not loose our luggage.

Some good news…Swansea museum have agreed to take the "Children of Craig-y-nos" exhibition for the months of July and August.

Moreover, they will store it there until needed. So we take it, with the help of volunteers involved in the project to Swansea museum on Sunday morning having put it in to archival boxes supplied by The Wellcome Trust, courtesy of Dr Carole Reeves.

Meanwhile, will take the opportunity while in Wales to do some last minute research. Have just heard of a vast collection of photos belonging to an auxiliary nurse, Auntie Maggie, who was a surrogate mother to all the children.

She died, blind, some years ago.

Just when I thought all my research for the book was complete an email pops into my mailbox from Canada…and yet another avenue opens up: more childhood memories whizzing across the world wide web.

Sandy from Ontario tells me she burnt the dinner the night before so engrossed was she in reading my blog and seeing photographs not only of herself but of childhood friends there.

I am going to have a rant..Apple is the computer of choice by artists and designers so I can't be alone in using one, and I must even be in a substantial minority, yet I have so far failed to load images from my Apple or to insert links and have to borrow my partner's PC.

Surely this can't be right? Am I the only one who finds the design of this software unfriendly to Apple ?

Used this image of Caroline today along with her story. (htttp://www.craig-y-nos.blogspot.com) .

It was taken over 50 years ago and she had never seen it before. Yet it turned up in another child's photographic album.
