Where I live in Wales. Dinbych/Denbigh #Wales
A lot of my subscribers ask me where in Wales I live and what it's like, so I've put together this video. A short tour of my hometown of Dinbych, also known as Denbigh.
Hope you like it.

    I was born in Denbigh in 1944. My late father was the dispenser at Beech House, Vale St after being demobbed until we left for good in 1955. He was a local town councillor as well. My Taid ran a choir from Capel Mawr until his death in early 70’s. All connections to Denbigh are now completely severed except for residents in St. Marcella’s, Whitchurch cemetery. Personally, I have no wish to return.

    I worked in Denbigh for 12 years (in the Council Offices called “Caledfryn”) and enjoyed walking around the town when shopping or stretching our legs at lunchtimes. Before that, I was involved in many construction and refurbishment projects at Howells School, so I know the areas you walked very well. I still return every autumn for the Open Doors programme of heritage open days of buildings across the town and Vale of Clwyd. However it was cancelled this year because of Covid-19, so your video was a very welcome alternative. Diolch yn fawr iawn.

    Well, Bych sounds very much like Buwch (cow), and there is an old local fairy-story connected to the name of Dinbych - often pronounced "Dimbych" by some of the oldsters. The story goes that a monster or "Bych" had taken over the castle and was terrorising the people of the town. Local hero, Sion y Bodiau "John of the thumbs" (he had extra thumbs on each hand), took on the monster, killed it in an epic battle, and freed the town from it's tyranny. It was said that the townspeople carried Sion y Bodiau on their shoulders throughout the town chanting " Dim Bych, Dim Bych, Dim Bych" - (No Monster). And that, according to the fairy story, is how Dinbych got it's name :)
