While conducting research for the novel, I spoke to many older residents who remember them well, with real affection and longing for days gone by - the sense of longing and loss that we in Wales call hiraeth, and in Italy, lontanaza; a time when life was slower and we stopped to speak to our neighbours and 'community spirit' was very much alive and kicking in every corner.

Mae gen i hiraeth mawr am y farchnad ffermwyr yn Riverside yng Nghaerdydd lle roeddwn i'n arfer prynu llysiau, ffrwythau, bara, cig a chaws am yr wythnos gyfan heb orfod mynd ar gyfyl archfarchnad.

Yno cafodd adegau llawen ond weithiau roedd yn gallu bod yn anodd, ac roedd hiraeth arno am Gymru Yna rhoddodd ddarlun o'i waith, nid dwy awr yn unig, fel mae rhai yn edliw iddo, ond wythnos lawn iawn, ac un dydd yr wythnos yn rhydd, ac ar alw 24 awr bob dydd.
