    🎶 There's Reverend Jenkins doing fine. He's preaching hellfire down the line. And shouting out "Send me a sign!" And one of these days we will.🎶
    At the end of that line, I always imagine a two-fingered salute (specifically a backwards peace sign).

    Bendigedig. Certainly one of their best, very clever rhyming. The little Welsh trains are marvellous- and you can get to the summit of Snowdon on one- best on a sunny day for the views. 1:40 Bugeilio'r Gwenith Gwyn/Watching the White Wheat tune, a lovely song about a true tragic love. 2:20 Llwyn Onn/Ash Grove. I strongly recommend Thomas L Thomas singing those 2- on youtube. 3:46 Rhyfelgyrch Gwyr Harlech/ Men of Harlech, maybe best known in the film Zulu
