"As someone who regards running for a bus as an extreme sport, I thought writing was a safer option. It is, for me, a spectator sport and people are endlessly fascinating. I am in training, keeping my senses on full alert. I also rely on a photographic memory. As a child I lived in Coelbren, the site of a mare's tail of a waterfall, the Henrhyd Falls, and had the freedom to roam. Our road had imaginary pavements and no white lines. I was surrounded by open moorland and had an old dram road to follow. The lesson I learned, retain the picture in your mind before it is obliterated by progress. I love the fact that houses bear the imprint of their owners. Farmhouses and pubs feature heavily in my short stories. The ghosts of those who have made this their way of life seem to linger in every corner." Patti Webber
