Ilove brass bands, they give me goose pimples! It is amazing how many churches are on pagan sites. I have no religion, but the atmosphere in most churches is awesome.
Here there are also 3 chapels, they tend not to be on the same scale, although the singing on Sunday evenings has to be heard to be believed!!! The first time I heard it, I was up the garden, and thought someone had "Songs of Praise" on rather loud, it sounds wonderful!!! It didn't snow any more, so we're just frosty this morning.

PS Guy and Moldy, I haven't been to south Wales, yet, to see the valleys, though my name comes from "How green was my valley" Mid Wales is very rural, and Llanfair is a tiny place that used to be a market town.
