Thank you all, no gillgran didn’t post on GM, too many other sad things happening on GN and in the world, quietly celebrated.

Currently watching Bbc4 programmes about Wales. Loving the one called Hidden Wales. All about iconic buildings many which are derelict and need restoring.

I don't know anything about that. I'm only investigating the house where my ancestors lived.

Sorry Chestnut I was mistaken. It was Llewelyn’s palace or parliament. Sorry about that. Best wishes for your research

The Huw Edwards Patagonia programme was also excellent, it was lovely to see people with no connection to the founding fathers embracing Welsh culture which such enthusiasm. I really enjoyed it.

Anniebach, I won the chair three times running at our school eisteddfod. I still have the little miniature wooden chairs that I was awarded. I was very proud!

My little great niece was very excited to go to school in national costume yesterday for the first time. I have been sent a very cute photo of about ten little Welsh girls in their black hats and red

I am watching that too. So many derelict Welsh properties, both humble and grand. It would be impossible to bring them back and the guy who is working on that huge house must be mad to even try! I cannot see that ever being completed to be honest. The family farm I am researching is very old, and was being efficiently run and well cared for until about 60 years ago, but has since been neglected and may also end up a ruin.

Welshwizard you won the chair three times , I am in awe,

Have you seen Hedd Wyn’s chair ? I cried when I went to see his home ,
