PJ: The other week I took my mother and aunt to Tywyn, Wales to trace family history and meet some friends. On the way back we stopped in Bala. I had heard of another nurse and a bookshop reminded me: Elizabeth Cadwaladr - with a movement for another memorial.

The lady in the shop explained the way to Betsy Cadwaladyr's home. That's a walk for the next trip.
