Alwyn 'Taffy' Parry

I grew up in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, where I went to school through the days of the Second World War, before moving to work in London. At the age of 21 I migrated to New Zealand, where I worked and spent forty years painting various scenes. Now in my twilight years I have enjoyed brushing back the cobwebs of time to reveal dormant memories. I hope you will enjoy the recollections of the period, as seen through the eyes of a little boy growing up in Wales, during the 40s and 50s. Then accompanying him through the challenges of his school years, before he departs as a sixteen year old to his first job in London and five years later makes his life changing decision, to journey to New Zealand.
