The Boathouse

In 1936 Dylan meets Caitlyn Macnamara who was, at the time, the lover of the artist Augustus John, he meets her again at Laugharne some months later and the relationship developed resulting in their marriage in July 1937. In May 1938 they move to Laugharne to a house generously provided for them by Margaret Taylor, the wife of the historian A J P Taylor. This man had big connections. Caitlyn recognised Dylan's talent and was very supportive. They both enjoyed enjoyment in its many forms. Dylan's talent was, by now, recognised by the BBC and he appeared in poetry programmes and wrote scripts. Their first son, Llewellyn was born in January 1939 and Dylan now had responsibilities, he developed the art of writing begging letters, which reminds me of the story of the chap who won millions on the pools. "What are you going to do about the begging letters?" His friend asked him. He replied "Oh, I shall keep sending them!"
