Diolch yn fawr, oldshep. Though I don't think my daffodil will like this somewhat un-Spring-like Cyprus weather!!!

Hi Barry, St David,s no not a rugby player , but a Archbishop of Wales, His mother saint Non , was niece of King Arther, St David,s birth was told to St patrick 30 before his birthday, his mother giving birthday by the sea held a rock so tightly it left scrach marks that can still be see today ,then on the moment of his birth lighting broke the rock in two! Great talker peacher was also know as David the water drinker as he only drank water ,once he laid his hand on his blind teachers head and his sight returned, and when he taught once the people at the back could not see him , so the ground rose up, so he taught on a small hill, plus lots of other stuff sorry if i condense a man,s life

Nowadays see as a welsh figure head for national pride, hope this helps Barry , but he could play guitar like you, No way
