Image of a Welsh poem in the bottom margin of NLW, Peniarth MS 1, fol. 28r. A translation of the poem below this reads: “May the highest lord, lord with a glimmering golden sword/ protect our goods for a short while and protect our people/ against false English and Irish and against the wrath of butchers/ and against a clamour and enchantment and against wolves and thieves/ against that one yonder who is evil, against rabid dogs/ against sheet lightning and thunder and against bad crwth-players/ and against the barren darkness of the Devil and against the poetry of Wiliam Siôn”

A poem composed early in the 16th century in a margin of the Black Book of Carmarthen begs God for protection from a series of enemies, including the English and the Irish, but the worst of all is saved for last: kerdd Wiliam Sion ‘the poetry of Wiliam Siôn’

I’m not sure I agree with your policies on cheese and onions crisps!

Nice. Also cooked a roast for 7 of us. Lamb, chicken, sausages, stuffing with sausage meat, roast potatoes, roasted carrots, red onion and courgettes. Steamed green beans and tenderstem broccoli. Peas. Yorkshire pudding. Chocolate cake for dessert. I might have over catered!

Thomas Jones Memory Walk for Children's Hospice South West Help Alison Jones raise money to support Children's Hospice South West

Hello! It's two years since Thomas, my gorgeous son, died. Next month, Alison and I, along with around 30 friends and family, will be doing a memory walk in support of Children's Hospice South West. If you could spare a few quid in sponsorship, that would be 😍
