    Steve, your vlog put a huge smile on my Welsh husband’s face. The Brain’s beer advert on your rugby shirt…best beer…then the Welsh cakes! We had his own bake stone made by a Caerphilly blacksmith 45 years until very recently, sadly it rusted and became obsolete. We now use a cast iron frying pan, kept specifically for Neil’s Welsh cake batch baking. Hearing your parent’s voices at Christmas, as any Welshman or woman he detected a Welsh intonation but thought it couldn’t be right. But yes…that accent stays a lifetime. Thank you for sharing your heritage, your family who were so pleased to see you!

Great to see Wales - our convict family members were from Scotland and Ireland.. tracing the family history is never ending.. Thanks Steve, I'll be making the Welsh Cakes for sure! 🍪🦘

    I thoroughly enjoyed this tour with your parents and extended family. My mom, her siblings and parents emigrated from Denmark to Canada when she was young. I remember when we accompanied my mom for our first time there, my uncle (who moved back to Copenhagen) took us to all the places they had lived in the city as well in the country before they moved. He knocked on doors and told the owners the story of their childhood living in the homes and the people were SO gracious and invited us in for a tour and cup of coffee, we were blown away! We too have a treat from Denmark that we make as well, it’s called Æbleskiver - so, so, good!!!

    Morning Steven, this was such a beautiful video. Seeing your parents, very nostalgic though with scenes of the other family members, a good time was had by all. Yes, a pity Sara could not come with, alas there will be another occasion I am sure. Those Welsh Cakes always look scrumptious. Nothing fancy but oh so tasty. Eating them as they come off the griddle is the best, no fancy toppings just the true flavour of something good. Glad you had the time and all the good things at your weekend visit. It was also good to see you making them Welsh Cakes, I bet Sara enjoyed them as well. It gives me encouragement to try these myself. My husband being Scottish, will surely enjoy them as I know they do not go for fancy cream cakes etc., kind regards, be blessed.

    Wow! That was a treat 🎁 to see your lovely parents again, meet some more of your dear relations, learn some of your familial history, & catch an amazing glimpse of incredible Wales🎉.
    🤔 What a fascinating & handsome place to see. The stunning bay. The mix of ancient & more mod architecture. Interesting (& a bit sad🥺) how gentrification changes neighborhoods.
    At least, you can now ✈️pop over to the UK easier. Perhaps your Welsh relatives will one day 🧳venture to France to see your 🆕 & glorious historic homestead too.
    😋 Enjoyed your baking tutorial. Can't wait to give Welsh Cakes a try. Will have to delay until I have folks to visit (or visitors). Otherwise, I would be tempted to eat all that deliciousness myself. (😉 Although perhaps I can experiment by cutting the recipe in half.)
    😁 Happy you had a memorable weekend with your loved ones. Sorry Sara had to skip this adventure for the workshop, but hope it went well for her too.

    Welsh cakes are traditionally made on a 'bake stone' a very heavy flat steel plate with raised handles that my Mum would put on top of the hob, my Dad was a blacksmith and used to make bake stones for friends and family, i think most welsh homes had one and they are often handed down the generations :D

    Thank you so much for bringing me back for a surprise visit to Cardiff, Wales as I had a good friend, Iris Vaugh Zuzik, whom I visited several times in Cardiff, who with her husband, Bart, ran a B&B in a corner of the Castle walls. I loved Cardiff, it was quite thrilling to open up a hugh door in the Castle wall and be right out on busy streets, filled with people, and walk either to the Castle proper or downtown shopping. I hope you took more footage of the Castle because it is quite astounding. Marianne, Chicago.

    Stephen… there is nothing like family. When I was 24, my husband and I moved to Florida and lived there for 23 years. My family lives in Delaware which is where I was from so once a year we came home for Christmas for a week, which is really hard for me because I was oldest of six children and the youngest is 12 years old and I left home. I have now live in Delaware going on 20 years. I’m going to someday soon make your Welse cakes and while you were eating them I was thinking I bet they be good with a little bit of maple syrup poured on them. Looking forward to your next video.
