Strange But True
John Jenkins, keeping brief climate records at The Royal
Institution of South Wales between 1843 and 1846 concluded that
the climate in the Swansea Bay region was “highly conductive
to the health of persons affected with pulmonary complaints and
desirable for the residence of the valetudinarian.” In April
1980, it was reported that thousands of fresh garden peas pelted
down in Tonna (nr Swansea) over a man called Trevor Williams in
some freakish weather phenomenon. John Jenkins was finally proved
right. Holidaying in the Swansea region really is good for you!
