That was very interesting. I am so blessed. I not only live in Wales I live in The Brecon Beacons National Park - one of the best bits!
Don't know them but I scam searched & nothing was listed against them.
Amazing! Have joined that Facebook group and wrote this:- First the EU dropped Wales off a map and now Facebook! We soon told the EU and put that right. Now we must tell Facebook. Tell everyone - Wales exists! I came to live in Wales by accident. ...
Who was Owain Glyndwr, and what band was she in? Was she a democrat or just some royal freeloader....have you any photos of her relatives or pets...cheers.
A group for anyone who wants to learn or practice Welsh
Dear Tam
Huw would be a great choice but it is a bit early to nominate actors - I doubt the film makers would pay any attention anyway! The first step is to convince the film makers, so that they can convince the money people, that the public woul...

We go walking every day & I have a very full social life. I organise 3 parties for everyon in the village every year. A love in on St Dwyen's Day - 25 Jan. She is The Welsh Patron Saint of lovers.
We bring food to share and have a night of love songs, poems etc. The village Hall gets packed. We have a village Lamb Roast in the summer and mulled wine & mince pies after the Carol Service at Christmas. There is a lot going in in these hills!
I am divorced, have 3 grwon up children, 7 grandchildren in America, England, Wales & Denmark and one little great grandson. I visit all of them at least once a year. This year I had my Birthday - 4 July - in USA. That was a first! I write fun educational books for children and adults who are learning Welsh. They are available through Welsh Book Council site, or from me.
ISBN 9781905550029 Y DAITH DROS YR IA / THE ICE JOURNEY is in dual language, with dual language audio CD. This is the first in a new series and asks where the first native Americans from Europe?

Wild Canary said… - Oh, dear! I am so glad you are all okay, but what a time. I have done some spinouts on wet leaves, but fortunately nothing got in the way.
To think you were in Ithaca riding the Indian! A dear friend from Ithaca was just on the phone this morning. He wrote a score that his mother lent me, so I was complimenting him. And my girlfriend's daughter is at Cornell in her first year.
Well, you take care of you and the doggies. Ours just had a tangle with a porcupine Sunday, last. The dogs looked bad, Two had to go to the vet. But they killed the poor porkie.
It is so exciting about the raffle. You are kind to donate.
Now, take care and rest up. Those accidents have a way of sneaking up on you. Godspeed.

- Congratulations on your win! You are my kind of grandma...riding on an Indian motorbike! Wheeehaa! You also have an understanding of distance in grandparenting; not easy but not impossible either.
Soon, soon, maybe we will end our experiment in non-consumerism and I will be able to buy some of your books.

My grandfathe came to the USA from Brecon in 1923 and I was wondering how many people with the sir name Winston were still in the area? Do you know any Winstons? Thank you for any info you could give me.

Huw Davies said… - Hi Valerie, I don't know if you've found it yet, but there's a video I made of Ynys Llanddwyn in North Wales - where Dwynen had her hermitage on my page.
I once did some filming in Myddfai, and Carreg Cennen just up the road from you - a programme about the Doctors. lovely memories.

- Dear Tam & Ceri
I do hope your father had am much fun on his Birthday as I am having. Fireworks & a party on my Birthday and treats everyday. Yesterday we went to visit a friend of a friend and I had a joy ride in his little plane. He almost looped the loop. Would have if his plane had been capable of doing so. I then, much to my grandson Kristian's annoyance, had a ride back to town on his Harley Davidson. Quite by chance met this guy's sister & her boyfriend and I switched to the boyfriends Indian motorbike (never heard of the make, or model, before but it was so pretty and noisy! The boys at the West End Cafe in Llandovery would have loved it) for a burn up round the town. When I got back I gloated so much that Kristian said he would torture me to death if I didn't stop.
Initially I had a few problems with my grandaughter Lula, so difficult to establish a relationship when we live so far apart, but we had a talk on the way back from bowling and she has been a joy ever since.
Friday we are off to New York City, My son Nicky's Danish daughter Maria is flying over from Denmark bringing little Magnus, my great grandson. So looking forward to seeing them. I fly back on Monday but will not get back to Wales till 16th. I am looking forward to the spending the rest of the summer in my little cottage with my dogs Brock & little Lily. I don't have any trips planned till I go to The Ukraine in October. I will be a keynote speaker at a conference. Have never been to The Ukraine before!
It is difficult to look at you photos etc at the moment but hope to do so when I get home. I will also add a photo to my profile.
