Just a little reminder such a country exists in the UK smile

loopylou, the beacons change colour , well depends on weather smile I think the most beautiful sight I have seen was travelling by bus from Merthyr to Brecon on a summer evening, we got almost to Storey Arms and from the road right up the mountains every inch was lilac, the driver who had done this run for years stopped the bus , lilac road, grass , rocks, . Second most beautiful was when having a picnic in January in Freshwater East beach, lighting storm over the sea close to shore, incredible sight. Bring your camera smile

Hello Oldcroc, it's Hiraeth , no cure , it's in you blood , smile

Sparkly, yes beautiful she is, I could never leave her , many years ago I broke off a relationship after four years, he thought I should move to Hereford , nearly fifty miles ! [grjn]

I don't want reminding of Wales as I spent 20 miserable years there. Having at last escaped I send pity to everyone living in exile, which includes Welsh people of course.

Of course, can't expect everyone to like the same things. But I don't think I would click a link marked Wales if I didn't ' want reminding of it' !!

Anniebach Mon 03-Apr-17 19:51:17

Which prison were you in watermeadow grin. Why didn't you leave earlier ?

SparklyGrandma Mon 03-Apr-17 22:10:37

Anniebach Hereford? Its ok for lunch out but Wales is best grin

I think the Scottish midges only strike in August and September, but just to be on the safe side, we have only ever gone in May or June, and have always had reasonable weather it's the UK ( for now!) after all, so no hot sun beating down day after day, but pleasant weather and midge free everywhere.

Our Welsh holidays have had decidedly more rain than we are used to, it has to be said, but that's what keeps it all so green.Like The Emerald Isle.smile

Sparkly, who wants to live in a city where a Welshman can be shot with a longbow in the cathedral close on a Sunday and it's sooo flat . Talking of laws , it is against the law to call a Welshman - English grin

Anniebach Mon 03-Apr-17 22:39:35

Rosesarered, what's the odd shower? Or two or three or four ? Or few more .

rosesarered Mon 03-Apr-17 22:39:36

and vice versa?
We could all try that law out ( and the one with a longbow if we can get Galen to cooperate) grin

rosesarered Mon 03-Apr-17 22:40:54

ab...... the 'odd' shower in Wales is the shower you get in between showers.

Anniebach Mon 03-Apr-17 22:41:50

Rosesarered ? You wouldn't , would you?

rosesarered Mon 03-Apr-17 22:44:02

???

Anniebach Mon 03-Apr-17 22:45:50

Ooooooh, you would ?

rosesarered Mon 03-Apr-17 22:53:56

Well, I am up for it, but Galen would have to agree to shoot him through his Welsh hat ( as I am not up for doing time in HMP Cardiff) ???‍?

Anniebach Mon 03-Apr-17 23:04:30

Not nice, not at all nice , could be his only hat, and if he was wearing his Dai cap what then?

rosesarered Tue 04-Apr-17 09:35:26

Oooh, you are awful ( but I like you) grin isn't a Dai cap, well, a bit unmentionable,
In polite circles?

Anniebach Tue 04-Apr-17 09:56:01

Is it? I didn't know, always been called Dai Caps , not P.C I suppose smile

Not going to speak of weather , told a neighbour last night - no rain till Thursday, let the dogs out for run in garden less than hour later Yep it was raining

Galen Tue 04-Apr-17 09:58:14

I shoot with a recurve. Ot a longbow. And I'm only likely to hit him if he dodged. * Bags* is a better shot.

Anniebach Tue 04-Apr-17 10:05:48

We don't even cull badgers in Wales

gettingonabit Tue 04-Apr-17 10:23:45

What's non-PC about Dai Caps?

SparklyGrandma Tue 04-Apr-17 13:53:27

Exactly Anniebach or worse in Chester where their bye laws state any Welsh man found in the town after dusk can be hung... agree its too flat....

A Dai cap is a Dai cap, isnt it?

SparklyGrandma Tue 04-Apr-17 13:55:46

Rain in Wales? Not heavily surely? I mean what's a bit of drizzle, day in, day out rosesarered?

rosesarered Tue 04-Apr-17 14:58:59

grin??☔️
You need a pacamac not a pashmina in Wales.

Galen send for you best bowman (*bags*)?

Heehee.... I was just messing about saying things about the Dai cap ( have no clue what it is.) Just sounded a bit, medical.
