It's Father Christmas!

Arthur was passing out the cash for the young ones for Christmas tonight. £10 each. That will buy us each an extra beer tomorrow after the rugby.

Well we had a wonderful evening in Ebbw Vale. We enjoyed the dulcet tones of Dy Williams with his moving rendition of Proud Mary at the Park Hotel Karaoke Night. Both Arthur and Ceinwen are in fine form with tales of relatives of dubious identities: Johnny Banjo, Flower Price and his BROTHER Petal (the original "the only gay boys in the village" I suspect) and I am certain there was someone named Quidgy(?). There was a local physician nicknamed Dr. Death and there was a tale of someone related deemed too religious for the local establishment who was snatched up at the age of 18 and forced to live 62 more years in an asylum.

So, kids....lunacy clearly runs down the Harries side of the family. This means you can not rely on anything they say, especially if frothing at the mouth.
