All my yesterdays belong to the past; the future belongs to no one From his early life on a farm in pre-war Pembrokeshire to years spent working in education, James Marsden has witnessed first-hand the sweeping changes the world has undergone over the last seven decades. This is what makes All My Yesterdays more than the story of one everyman's life (exceptional as that life has been); rather, it is a record of the past, of a rural way of life in rapid decline and a golden age of education that's now little more than a memory. James Marsden now lives with his wife in the city of Llandaff on the outskirts of Cardiff.
