SUMMIT OF SNOWDON ~ YR WYDDFA ~ 1085 METRES !
LLANDUDNO ~ LLANGEFNI ~ LAKE BALA
ALL play grounds of my childhood
NORTH WALES was very close to LIVERPOOL
DRIVING ~ cycling ~ bus or train accessible !
ONLY MOUNTAIN in the UK over 1000 metres
FOR us SNOWDON was a challenge ! We were all
MOUNTAINEERS ~ It was our EVEREST ~ every
YEAR we climbed it by different routes in all weathers !
FOR the bucket & spade brigade there were
A PLETHORA of sandy beaches North ~ South & West
THE GOWER PENINSULAR was a Paradise and
HEARING the lilt of the WELSH Language and the
ENCHANTING harmony of the WELSH Harp & Choirs
RELISHING Welsh Cakes & Welsh Lamb ~ Food of the GODS !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX
In LIVERPOOL we were at the CROSSROADS of Four Nations
ENGLAND but with a Scouse accent & attitude WELSH ~ Song
& Language ~ IRISH Humour ~ SCOTS Dancing ~ We all knew
that the UK was a Four Nation Melting Pot ~ United in One
Kingdom but very divided and competitive in Rugby Union !
If you plan to visit the UK be sure to spend time in Wales ~
Scotland & N Ireland as well a England. Each Country is very
distinctive in Accent & Language ~ Culture ~ Dress ~ Climate
and Scenary ~ try to spend at least ONE WEEK in each Country
of the United Kingdom and the Great Capitals of London ~ Cardiff
Edinburgh & Belfast ~ ENJOY Blessings to ALL ~ BRIAN XOXOX

Very interesting to learn about your heritage--great write! Sister Christina
Thanks CHRIS ~ The history of the UK is very complex ! Some Americans just visit ENGLAND (The London Area) and fail to understand that it is UNITED KINGDOM of four distinct and very different Countries ! ENGLAND ~ N IRELAND ~ SCOTLAND ~ WALES ! The Irish Republic (Southern Ireland) is another separate Country ! Thanks for your comment. I have added a picture of a GUPPY to my FUSION ~ please check Yours BRIAN
Good write Brian, Wales is a great place to visit, so I am told.
I used to have a friend who was a tanker driver and he always said that the best thing about Wales was the M4 Bridge coming out!
Hello Brian, it's a wonderful poem... I really enjoyed it. Such a lovely acrostic sonnet. I really got a taste of the beauty of Wales through your poem. I think that climbing a mountain as a child is one of the best childhood experiences. It's beautiful. ~ Jo
