On this day, yr dydd cyntaf mis Mawrth, the first day of March, we all marched from school to one of the many local chapels and had a service of celebration. and in the school playground during playtime we could hear the grown-ups singing away at their Cymanfa Ganu..a singing festival, if you like. Clearing the winter cobwebs out of the tubes!
Dydd Dewi Sant..gave way to Gwyl Dewi Sant..a festival of celebration of a culture, and survival ! Yma o Hyd & all that.
Diz Disley enjoyed speaking to me in a Welsh accent..he spent his childhood in Wales.
Reservoir dear boy, Reservoir...(as in Au'voir of course not as in Tryweryn)
