We are Rhys and Bryn both Welsh boys, two old Taffy’s now.
We live in the Gower peninsular which in 1956 was designated an area of outstanding beauty and rightly so.
We met as two young boys at school and became very good pals, by the age of 16 we had become one, as they say.
We have always been open and transparent about our relationship and were accepted by our local community, they had no choice our mothers were very strong Welsh woman and wouldn’t have anything said against their boys.
Many years later when we both retired, we got more involved in charitable work around the community and this kindness has been repaid many times over by the locals who now help me with anything I need to support Bryn, and I am so pleased that I now have the group GGAT who I will be able to talk things over with when things get difficult because sometimes caring can be overwhelming.
I wish GGAT every success in reaching the goals they have set themselves and look forward to the group’s success. Oh, and if your ever in this part of Wales pop in, kettles always on boyoh.
