I first became interested in History and Archaeology through Jeff (my husband) and his father. I`m originally from the Snowdonia area of north Wales and have Welsh as my first language. Jeff has always lived in south Wales. I have a B.Mus degree and Jeff`s degree is in History. We met as students at Cardiff and have lived here ever since.
Jeff is particularly interested in Naval history and the two World Wars. He`s also interested in south Wales` industrial history and his MA thesis was on an aspect of Cardiff Docks. His father was an Anglican rector with a passionate interest in old churches – especially those built on early Christian sites.
We`ve both loved Time Team from the start and have been visiting the Forum for about a year. I have no period that I`m particularly interested in but I love the way Archaeology gives us an insight into the lives that ordinary people lived at various times in the past.
I think that the Forum is very special and have had lots of laughs, information and great enjoyment from my visits to it.
