BioCroeso. Bore da.
A good day to you. My name is Bran Davies. I live on a sheep farm in the county of Ceredigion, Cymru, near the almost impossibly small village of Tywyn. I play the harp and am learning all the old tales and songs. Because it is important to me, and important to John Rowlands, my friend and teacher - though he has passed now - I practice and study. He knew all the old lore and ways. I did well on my A-levels in school. I had been caring for John, and for my father in this remote cottage in which I now find myself alone. In truth, he was not my father. My mother brought me from elsewhere and departed again thence. She left me in this valley when I was scant days old. My father's identity is implausible, even to me, though at times I believe it. I was raised here by Owen Davies, who was a rector here as well as a sheep farmer. He did not own his land but farmed it for another - David Evans. I sing in the choir and was brought up with the rectitude of the church. Like John Rowlands, Owen died this year. I nursed them and have no idea what I shall do now. I am an albino, which is unheard-of in these hills of black-haired Welshmen. It does not make me exotic - it lets me see the darkness of others' souls. My eyes are weak and I must stay out of the sun. I once had a dog, born on this farm. His eyes shone, and his name was Cafall.
I chose to remember. So much seems now like a dream, but I know who my parents were.
