My ancestors (Griffith/Mansel/Jenkins) came to the US about 1860, but I just recently discovered where they originated (Llanddarog parish, Carmarthenshire) and am trying to steep myself in Welsh heritage.
Thank you for posting the videos--I very much enjoyed listening to the music and viewing the Welsh scenery. I had not heard the Welsh National Anthem before.
The Welsh anthem is the best and whenever I hear it, I would like to be Welsh. I'm not though, but as a kid, I did enjoy several family holidays in Llandudno(sp?). Fond memories indeed.
Thanks, Anne and yes, I very much appreciated that. x Hi, Muddlescombe. How nice to meet you and thanks for your good wishes. It's very interesting to read that you have Welsh ancestors. I think the anthem is among the loveliest in the world. I hope you get a chance to visit Wales one day! Hi, Rolf. Cincin and Iechydd dda! Thanks, Cherie. x Hi, Mary. I always get a lump in my throat when I listen to the anthem. I'm glad you have fond memories of Wales. Thanks, Nerys. Hope you had a good one too!
I bought daffodils because my son is called David, so it was his special day too. In Greece, they always celebrate name days instead of birthdays. Hope you had a great St David's Day.
I'm late but I truly enjoyed listening to Welsh music and your National Anthem. Many thanks. I'm sure you had a lovely time on St David's Day. All the best, always!
Hi, Ellee. I think David is a lovely name. People celebrate saints' days more than birthdays here, too. Thank you, Claudia. I'm glad you liked the music.
Happy St Davids day to you Pat.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you knew the significance of the Daffodils on your birthday card :-)
Hope you have a lovely week. x
Happy St. David's Day from America:
