Jannie,
I also loved the frogs carved into the wood work at Cardiff Castle and moldings for the ceilings – I think we have some pictures of that too.

Janice at SharingtheJourney sent me to hear Rhydian Roberts ( I think I have that correct) a contemporary Welsh male singer – very good. I found a post at welshscribe.co.uk

The Cardiff castle ceiling is truly a wonder.

Yes, I was in Scotland a-fore ye, Patricia. Ten years ago.

You certainly saw the sights.

I LOVE Welch men, then again, I love most men, singing or not.

And we have a Welsh love spoon! Was a wedding present.

JD,
I think my daughter did quite well on the photography and this water fall inspired the love poem and a love island across the water, when folks go to spoon on the Loch.

Talon,
All kinds of beauty in this world – just need to open one’s eyes to find it or ears to hear it!

There’s something energizing about waterfalls. That one is gorgeous!

It’s nice to admire human beauty, too.

You have some great pics there. I love waterfalls and that one looks especially energizing and powerful, yet serene. Actually, it looks like poetry in motion.

Janice,
I am all for popping over and hearing this fellow sing – how wonderful to find your comment here and a referral – awesome.

I think I have Edin burr ah rolling off my tongue now! Thank you for that assistance too…:)

If you pop over to Marc’s site, (Welshscribe.co.uk) he has an audio of the Welsh singer Rhydian Roberts in his archives; he’s got a lovely voice and isn’t a bit like Tom Jones. Many Welsh miners sing to bond and cheer themselves up; it’s a tough life.

Great post Turf Dad, thank you for the link.

We did not hear any Welsh men singing, we did have lunch at the 18th hole of the St. Andrew’s golf course!

Turf Dad,
I am not much of a fan of Tom Jones or all the references to Tom Jones. But I did think being told about Welsh Men being born to sing, was a significant part of my journey. I’ll go read your post now !
