Introducing me My name is Mike Jenkins I live in Brynglas, Newport Born in Newport to a family that goes back over many generations in South Wales.

Being a lot closer to seventy years of age than sixty Married for fifty years next year.

I have a view on most things and believe that on items Welsh, have the right to voice them.

Do not speak the Welsh Language but do not believe that makes me a lesser Welshman.

While I am Welsh and proud of it, I am also British and proud of that too, and believe that the two go together, as they always have.

Britain has always been the four nations united into the United Kingdom, and should stay so.

As a Leaseholder to a property with Newport City Council/ soon to be transferred to Newport City Homes I joined the Leaseholder Panel since this Panel will represent Leaseholders with NCH it is a well worth membership.

So I look forward to placing a wide variety of items on my blog and look forward to interesting exchanges with those that respond.
