  1. Great post. Also, seeing the word ‘hiraeth’ is a treat. Having been born in Wales and living here most of my life, the word really does create a sense of both longing and satisfaction. It lets you know you are home. And yet, as the quotation says, maybe it’s a place that never was. Because we always remember things the way WE saw them. Great work.
