Bri, I think you mean my grandfather, my Mum's father. My Taid used to walk his corgi everyday, first Judy, then later Lucy. Both dogs were bilingual!
He was a lovely man, sadly he died of cancer in 1990.
I don't know if you knew but he was awarded the Kings Commendation after the 1950 Penmaenmawr Irish Mail train crash. He was one of the first on the scene,(he was living in the police house in Penmaenmawr then) and despite the risk to himself, entered the wreckage and rescued several passengers.
