Saw Wales on the WDYTYA show on Wednesday & thought of you.

I love the scenery & so miss our visits to North Wales especially - spent a lot of summers in Ferndale and Ponty.

Good Morning Everyone :-) :-) <3

It's been sunny but cold here this morning, but it is starting to cloud over now.
We may go for a walk later.

I'm very busy with the rugby at the moment, so apologies for my not being here quite so often recently :-)


Tabitha,
Thanks for thinking about me during WDYTYA. North Wales Scenery is indeed STUNNING. My GR friend **Ann** lives just down the road from the elderly half Great Aunt featured in the programme.

I live on the South Wales coast which has it's own beauty too :-)


Lovely to see you QuinsGran :-)

DACW 'NGHARIAD (There's My Love / Sweetheart) .... EVE GOODMAN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nrkgdj0bVAo

Eve is the daughter of TV Historian Ruth Goodman (the redhead often on the One Show) Eve has a beautifully pure voice.

ENGLISH LITERAL TRANSLATION

There is my sweetheart down in the orchard,
Oh how I wish I were there myself,
There is the house and there is the barn;
There is the door of the cow house open.

There is the gallant, branching oak,
A vision, lovingly crowned.
I will wait in her shade
Until my love comes to meet me.

There is the harp, there are the strings;
What better am I, without anyone to play them for?
There’s the delicate fair one, exquisite and full of life;
What nearer am I, without having his attention?

Ah Jem how lovely - love your little Welsh Dragon and i do like South Wales too.

I love watching Ruth Goodman & the team in the shows

I also like the Back to the past for dinner show

Thank You Tabitha, he's my little pickle :-D :-D <3

Love Eternal Flame.
Used to enjoy singing it on my karaoke machine in the days when I had a singing voice :-D


We were able to go for a lovely long walk in our local Country Park yesterday.
It's a lovely place and has one of the best beaches in the UK.

Good Evening Everyone :-) :-) <3

It's not been a bad day here today weather wise :-)

Hi Tabitha,
the link made me giggle :-D
He's on German TV and first he lights up a cigarette and then talks his way through it! :-D
I always get a shock, when I realise, not only have my Grown Grandchildren never heard of him, but my daughter can't remember him either! :-0 ... it don't half make me feel old! :-D :-D


~~~ to Tawny, lovely to see you :-)

ST DAVID'S DAY SPECIAL ....

CALON LAN .... ONLY BOYS ALOUD, ONLY MEN ALOUD, ONLY KIDS ALOUD
at the final of the Eisteddfod 2012 ... goosebumps!<3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XNXHKODrL0


CALON LAN (PURE HEART)

Nid wy'n gofyn bywyd moethus,
Aur y byd na'i berlau mân:
Gofyn wyf am galon hapus,
Calon onest, calon lân.

Calon lân yn llawn daioni,
Tecach yw na'r lili dlos:
Dim ond calon lân all ganu
Canu'r dydd a chanu'r nos.

I don't ask for a luxurious life,
the world's gold or its fine pearls,
I ask for a happy heart,
an honest heart, a pure heart.

A pure heart full of goodness
Is fairer than the pretty lily,
None but a pure heart can sing,
Sing in the day and sing in the night <3 <3 <3

One of the most beautiful Welsh Songs ....
AR HYD Y NOS (ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT) ... BRYN TIERFEL

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWU07oVhF_4

AR HYD Y NOS
Holl amrantau'r sêr ddywedant
Ar hyd y nos.
Dyma'r ffordd i fro gogoniant
Ar hyd y nos.
Golau arall yw tywyllwch,
I arddangos gwir brydferthwch,
Teulu'r nefoedd mewn tawelwch
Ar hyd y nos.

O mor siriol gwena seren
Ar hyd y nos,
I oleuo'i chwaer ddaearen
Ar hyd y nos,
Nos yw henaint pan ddaw cystudd,
Ond i harddu dyn a'i hwyrddydd
Rhown ein golau gwan i'n gilydd
Ar hyd y nos.

ENGLISH LITERAL TRANSLATION ... ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
All the star's eyelids say,
All through the night,
"This is the way to the valley of glory,"
All through the night.
Any other light is darkness,
To exhibit true beauty,
The Heavenly family in peace,
All through the night.

O how cheerful smiles the star,
All through the night,
To light its earthly sister,
All through the night.
Old age is night when affliction comes,
But to beautify man in his late days,
We'll put our weak light together,
All through the night.
