Day Out In History

As I said, on Thursday Christine and I had a great trip out to Dyrham Park ... a really lovely place. There is so much to see, I think we could have gone back the following day and still there would be plenty to keep us focussed.

Anyway - here are some tasters -

Yes, well worth (another) visit.

Weekend Again

Well, we are 2 months down in 2025.  March already ... and, Happy St David's Day ...

"Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus"

And for anyone who wants to know more about St David, here is a link for you.

The first school I went to was in North Wales, and I went there for a term and a half, until we moved back to Essex.  My memories are few, but vivid.  I can describe the classroom.  I was 5, but put on the 4 - 5 year old table, as I only spoke English.  The class had 4 - 7 year olds, and by the time we were 10 we would have been expected to have all our lessons in Welsh.  Sadly, when I got back to Essex I had to "forget" my Welsh as I was having to do all the nursery rhymes, prayers etc back in English.  I do remember I enjoyed those days in Flint Mountain Primary School

So I have posted the photos, gone and picked up a few things at the shops, and it will soon be lunchtime.  After lunch I am definately going to go for a walk, as it's another sunny day.

But for now -







1. What’s your favourite pastime?
Sightseeing!
I love reading fan-fic, making icons, etc
I love jigsaw puzzles... some handcraft.

2. In 1959, the Mars confectionary bar was advertised with the slogan, “A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play”. Do you remember any old advertising slogans/jingles? Do you think they would be used today?
The other real classic of that era is memorable "For mash get Smash" ... a freeze-dried mashed potato, that was advertised by metal spacemen!





Right - enjoy your weekend.

See you Monday x

Not 100% happy with it, but at least I am trying to work out what I like when I am making banners
