Gwen Herbert  ~ Contralto

My upbringing was in a manse in a Welsh-speaking family. Local children provided a fair amount of English vocabulary. At the Swansa Grammar School, I competed in English and Welsh recitations.

A Home Economics education in Cardiff was a step to a teaching career in Luton. i retain a fond memory for the new Technical School.

Trevor (my husband), and I have two children and two grandchildren. A great pleasure! Indoor bowls affords me exercise, whilst walking is a 'must' for brittle bones.

My greatest hobby is the Bach Society. I hope my contribution is one of 'blending', both in song and friendship.
