About myCraidd
Welcome to myCraidd, a blog about a mid-westerner who has suddenly found himself in mid-Wales. I am a 30-something Illinoisan who, after college, moved to both coasts of the United States before jumping the pond to Wales. I offer this blog as a means to keep up with friends old and new, serve as an ambassador from the America that isn’t always shown in movies, and provide a guide for dealing with our American cousins.
What is Craidd? Craidd is the Welsh (Cymraeg) word for “middle” or “center”. I adopted the name for this blog to highlight both where I am from and where I am. It should become clearer through the blog that mid-westerners try to keep a centered outlook on life.
Just found your blog – hope you enjoy Aber. its a great place. Was brought up here but spent some time away at college etc but came back and brought my children up here, one still lives here but the other two have gone to live in Cardiff / Newport, but love coming home. Sue Jones Davies is a friend of mine a great lady and ambassador for Aber. Take care and enjoy.
