And The Winner is....( Left Coast Eisteddfod - Poetry Competition/English Language )

A message from Peter Thabit Jones.... Adjudication It was good to see the range of poetic forms and subjects submitted for the Competition. Each poem offered something to the reader, be it an imaginative mind-picture, an original phrasing of an emotion or a striking statement. Poetic devices (such as alliteration, internal rhyme and repetition) were handled in a confid… Continue

And The Winner Is.........( Short Story Competition / English Language )

A message from Lloyd Jones.....

Thank you for inviting me to judge the Americymru short story competition - I wish I hadn't agreed now because choosing a winner proved very difficult! I'm afraid that I discounted the autobiographical stories because they didn't fit the short story criteria, but I urge the authors to carr… Continue

The Lost Village

They say that near Ferryside in Carmarthenshire there is the thirteenth century village of St. Ishmael, But it is rarely seen. That is because it is submerged in the bay. It isn’t clear why it disappeared. West Wales was a remote place and news didn’t often travel very far. Often the news never made the leap from Welsh into English. Often it was never written down. There is certainly no record of what happened. The local people say that it was swamped by an enormous tidal wave caused by a volcan… Continue

Signing books in Cardiff

On Saturday I was out once again, meeting my public. This time it was Border’s in Cardiff, a shop in the old David Morgan building on The Hayes. It is a nice shop, large and busy and I was certainly very well looked after by the staff, especially Vicki. However, promotion remains hard work. My grandmother was a hard working and successful market trader in South Yorkshire but I am afraid I don’t seem to have inherited her gifts. People out and about on a Saturday don’t want to be harassed; they j… Continue

Bundling

The facts of the story are simple. Charles Jeffreys, a gentleman of independent means. Prosperous. Had a big house called Gwynfryn near Aberystwyth. A county magistrate. He was sued by Evan Williams, a farm worker. 23 years old. The crime? A violent assault on 4 May 1870. You see, Jeffreys thought that Williams was a burglar and you can understand why, but he wasn’t. I better explain. Evan Williams was courting Sarah Williams, a housemaid in Jeffreys’ house. She invited her beloved to come to th… Continue

Bedside Manners

I spend a lot of my time rooting around the damp undergrowth of the internet, like a pig looking for truffles. Sometimes you find them and sometimes you don’t. And sometimes you can pick up a faint scent. Often it is fascinating stuff but it doesn’t really lead anywhere. You know there is a story there,but you just haven't got enough material. Details have slipped through the fingers of history. A gravestone is the most important item. There is no point having a story but having no headstone. Th… Continue

On a visit to Beaumaris

We went to Anglesey to carry out vital research. Well actually it is more accurate to say that we went to enjoy ourselves. Graveyards can be an unattractive proposition when it is raining but in the pleasant weather we had, it was very nice to stroll around and read the messages our ancestors had left for us. It may have been February but it was dry and the countryside around us was pleasant, with a definite hint of spring. The roads were clear and the towns and villages slowly emerging after th… Continue

A quick reminder about competitions on Americymru.:-

1. The voting deadline in the Hardest Welshman poll on the main page has been extended to December 31st in order to allow people more time to vote. At the moment Owain Glyndwr seems to be running away with it so now is a good time to vote for your favored candidate and make it a closer race. 2. The Americymru Clown of the Month competition hasn't run for a while so we thought we'd give people the chance to submit… Continue
