Snowing Like Crazy Here In Swansea !

[mikey4444]

Just started, but its very wet, so will probably not settle much or stick. What is happening everywhere else ? ( Stand easy Sqad...not you ! )

Yes, pretty much the same as Baldric posted.

Mikey, the title of your thread reminds me of "A Child's Christmas in Wales". When Dylan Thomas narrates it, you're right there: you can feel the cold; you can see the snow and the cats; you can see and hear the maiden aunts tottering on their chairs; and see the firemen putting out the "inferno"...Excellent.

Here it is. It's quite long! https://video.search.yahoo.com/video/play;_ylt=A0LEVvZvqbZUHFkArA8PxQt.;_ylu=X3oDMTBsa3ZzMnBvBHNlYwNzYwRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkAw--?p=a+child%27s+christmas+in+wales+narrated+by+dylan+thomas&tnr=21&vid=B516210A7D3972F90FC3B516210A7D3972F90FC3&l=1207&turl=http%3A%2F%2Fts4.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DUN.608043867760756995%26pid%3D15.1&;rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F34234077&sigr=10pi3ffb8&tt=b&tit=A+Christmas+Gift%3A+Dylan+Thomas+and+A+Child%26%2339%3Bs+Christmas+in+...&sigt=121h0ei22&back=https%3A%2F%2Fsearch.yahoo.com%2Fyhs%2Fsearch%3Fp%3Da%2Bchild%2527s%2Bchristmas%2Bin%2Bwales%2Bnarrated%2Bby%2Bdylan%2Bthomas%26hsimp%3Dyhs-001%26hspart%3Dmozilla%26ei%3DUTF-8&;sigb=143gtok71&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-001

The only quote I remember of Dylan Thomas is, "Land of My Fathers? My fathers can bloody well keep it!"

[mikey4444]

Yes Stuey....my favourite poem by my favourite poet !

"I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six."

Incidentally, I drove past his house in Swansea only the other day ::::
