  8. Leeks, Daffodils, Male voice choirs, valleys and not to mention rugby! What a wonderful country!

    Great to see there’s another country that celebrates it’s own day without being perceived at racist or extreme nationalist… unlike that Turkish (or was he Palestinian) George chap who has several countries as his own patron saint but only one that’s not celebrated

    Does Australia have a patron saint?

    Sir Donald Bradman aka The Don?

  12. Hee Hee Tocino,

    Dyfed (or Pembrokeshire if you want to wind up the natives). I lived and worked there for 5 yrs. Wonderful place.

    It got hit pretty hard by the storms of 87 though.

  17. Ooops! I didn’t realise that other charioteers spoke Portuguese. I must be more circumspect in future….. 😀

  23. Of course it was a typo, Bearsy, sir. Whatever else could it possibly have been? 🙂

  27. Thanks folks. I got that, OZ you baaaaaad man. You’re the only creature that makes sheep nervous 😉

    I posted in a rush this morning so hope this works. Been there, done this, got the goosebumps….

  30. Jan – Without divulging any lupine hunting secrets, it’s simply a question of not making them nervous until they’re well within striking distance, by which time it is far too late for them anyway.

  32. I used to live opposite Cardiff Arms Park in Riverside, used to hear them every Sat pm. My first flat after I graduated, used to walk past the grounds and over the bridge every day on the way to the Western Mail and Echo where I worked.
    In those days it was all white and full of brothels, very amusing. I drove through there a couple of years ago when I was up in Cardiff to the WNO for old times sakes, wish I hadn’t! Full of bloody pakis!
    No daffodils either!!!

  33. Last time I was in St David’s a couple of years ago for a concert, a chunk fell out of the roof and nearly killed someone!
    If anyone is ever in that neck of the woods the 11am sung Eucharist is always very beautiful, the Cathedral is only about 30 mins from my house in Wales and as I don’t like my local ‘happy clappy, tambourines in the aisles’ local vicar I often go up there on Sunday morning, well worth the journey.

  35. Nor here toc, they are all up lurking in the bud.
    But I have my Welsh flag flying today. I expect the locals think a bunch of immigrants have moved in! Ruritania rules supreme! No one would recognise it for part of the UK that’s for sure, most don’t have any idea where Wales even is!! American’s sense of geography is rudimentary to say the least.
    We’ll be lucky not to be firebombed! Nah, they’re too PC round here on the whole.

  36. Blimey OZ, you have the strategy all worked out. Given by current av. I’d better watch my step! 🙂

    No daffs in Cardiff, Tina? Shocking!! Took a few to work plucked from the front garden this morning. Bloomed just in time. Glad you have been flying the flag 🙂

    Janh,

    Christina is in America, Toc is in Wales. :-

  38. Janh has been looking upon the wine when it was red!
    Never mind girl! Dew dew.

  39. Evening peeps. Not even looking upon the wine, Tina, worse luck. I was merely responding to this
    In those days …etc..etc..etc..No daffodils either!!!

    Christina is in America, Toc you are in Wales, lucky you, and me I the Welsh side of the Severn but the English side of the Wye. Yes, I knew all that 😉
