The National Eisteddfod of Wales
Aug 9th
So, the 2009 Eisteddford comes to an end. We hope you made it to Bala, and enjoyed all the events and competitions. If you did go, let us know what you enjoyed most.
Elin and Ffion enjoyed their singing (and we managed to catch them on S4C as well as a bonus)
Jemma’s choir came joint 2nd in their competition – Congrats to all in 2nd position, and well done the winners as well. Jemma’s solo went not quite as expected, but a valiant try and recovery worthy of a pro.
Heartiest congrats to Dennis Brace Jones of Corris. Bard
Unfortunately we missed the tv coverage of both Jemma and Dennis. Work gets in the way of most eveything important.
Elin at the Eisteddfod
Aug 3rd
Eldest Granddaughter and her group were singing in Bala yesterday at the National Eisteddfod of Wales.
Although not in any competition, its still a big occasion for any 12 year old. Shame we couldn’t be there, but everyone else was, giving support and encouragement.
She enjoyed it though. Just what the Eisteddfod and music is all about. Ffion sings tomorrow, and Jemma on Thursday.
If you are in the Bala area – get to the National Eisteddfod
y ddraig goch
Aug 2nd
These are a series of wallhangings we produce, based on our own design of the Welsh Dragon and Celtic Knotwork.
We make a maximum of one a year, and each one is unique. Mixed techniques of applique, patchwork and quilting.
The example below was created in 2006 to be displayed in a revamped community village hall near Lake Vyrnwy in North Wales.
