Wales- Where Life is Simple, and the Fighter Jets Play

Wales

Wales must be one of the most idyllic, pastoral, green, lush and relaxed places on the planet. Farm fresh Duck (pronounced “Douhk”) eggs, gently weathered slate mountains blanketed by grass clipped neatly by grazing sheep, oh yes, and fighter jets exercising in the clear blue sky.

Seriously though, if Machynlleth and the Dyfi Valley is anything like the rest of Wales, I cannot think of a more ideal place to enjoy the simple life; its got the view, the friendly (though sometimes thick-accented) people, the progressive minded attitude towards good food and good living, and the sense of centeredness that is sometimes lacking in the urban jungle.

    Glad you enjoyed Wales. The song is”WE’ll keep a welcome in the hillsides, we’ll keep a welcome in the vales. This land you know will still be singing,when you come home again to Wales. This land of song will keep a welcome and with a love that never fades, we’ll kiss away each hour of Hiraeth(longing) when you come home again to Wales. I have it on one of my tapes so you will be able to hear it when you come home
    Luv
