    I tried looking at some of the other videos on the ITV site. However, it said the videos can only be viewed by those in the UK. I'm in Canada. I would have LOVED to have seen this. Does anyone know of any way those of us outside of the UK can see it too?

    I did a copy and paste from the front page - I would far rather see it on a proper TV than a lap top

    David's episode airs tonight, Friday, March 4 at 8 pm on ITV 1 Wales and 9 pm on ITV 1 + 1 in Wales and The Westcountry. You will also be able to view the broadcast episodes online.

    I went to ITV Wales page - couldn't find DG's episode but others before yesterday's date are available. Perhaps we have to wait a couple of days for it to be added to the system.

    Good news...

    I have the stuff, and will make it available soon. Just have to be slightly careful with some possible YouTube issues regarding rights. Might have to find a different home for this but I think it will be there soon.

    Here is a little taste....

    David Gray Revisits Solva in New Series

    David Gray

    Multi-million selling artist David Gray will be taking a trip down memory lane in a new ITV Wales series ‘Time of your Life' on Friday 4th March.

    The singer-songwriter moved from Manchester to Lower Solva when he was eight, spending his formative schooldays at Solva Community School and later Ysgol Dewi Sant in St Davids.

    The episode follows him as he visits Solva Community School as well as favourite old haunts in the village and on the coast. He also indulges his love of the sea in a Voyage of Discovery boat trip.

    Gray, 42, a BAFTA and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter whose hits include ‘This Year's Love', ‘Babylon', and ‘Sail Away', has previously described the thrill of moving to Pembrokeshire.

    He said: "I remember like yesterday the day we moved from Manchester to a tiny cottage tucked under a hill in Lower Solva. There was a picturesque fishing harbour outside the door, a bluebell wood behind: I was eight, and I thought, ‘This is Action Man heaven.'

    "My friend Jonathan had a 15hp dinghy; we'd catch mackerel and cook it on the beach, and swim with Simo, the Solva dolphin, which sort of befriended us. It was a wonderful, free life.

    "These days, I like to walk there round the headland from St Justinian, where the trip boats depart for the seal colonies on Ramsey Island. I love it in May, with wild flowers piling over the cliff edge, that glittering Pembrokeshire light and the air infused with the scent of spring." 

    The episode was filmed in the autumn, and Associate Producer Alun Jones said Gray enjoyed his trip back home.

    "The village has obviously changed a lot since David was a boy but that didn't seem to matter one bit, the countryside, the sea, the wildlife and the people are what made this his home and in that sense it was like he had never been away," he said.

    Time of your Life has already profiled Nerys Hughes and Rhodri Morgan and will also feature Colin Jackson (11th February), Sian Lloyd (18th February), and Gareth Edwards (25th February).

     

    Take care !

     

    Marcel.

    David Gray wears a cardi - my husband is in fashion - at last!!

     On a more serious note - thank you, Marcel, for putting that up - What a beautiful place - the cottages - the surrounding landscape - the sea and the coast line. Well away from modernisation; an absolute dream of a place. What a beautiful area to be brought up in. I just loved DG's stories of growing up. Fantastic. Once again Thank you.

    Thank you so much Marcel!!!!!!!!! I absolutely loved watching this. I love hearing DG talk about his past. He grew up in such a lovely place. So interesting to see those old clips of "Lead Me Upstairs" and the family riding on the boat at the end. He really seems to be such a decent, kind man in addition to being a wonderful singer/songwriter. 

    Thanks again Marcel. I really appreciate that you took the effort to put this up for those of us who couldn't access them through the website. You're a very decent, kind guy yourself.
