TRIBUTE TO ALWYN JONES

Alwyn was an environmental campaigner, activist and our neighbour when we lived in Gwaelod-Garth. In recent times we often met on walks on the Garth.

We recognise you by your values

Hard core green

Sincere

A man living by his principles

fighting for peace in times of war

 

We recognise you by your intelligence

logic, evidence of research.

Your ability to debate at length

to protect the environment

you prize so much.

 

We recognize you by your fleecy marigolds-

Day-glo gloves glowing

as you speed-walk, ruck-sacked

through Garth Mountain mists.

 

We recognise you by your determined chin

few words, lopsided grin,

but most of all we recognise you by your values.
