      You may know the welsh word hiraeth which basically means the longing for Wales a Welsh person has for Cymru no matter how long they have been away. Blessings from your homeland

    This would be my happy place always. I live in America, i have mostly English/ Welsh Ancestry on both sides, I know still makes me American, but I tend to lean more towards the European way of life and I study the Victorian time period, my home decorations are Victorian inspired or Victorian antiques, I also study Edwardian, the American time period during this, Civil War, Guilded Age, pretty much the 1300's to the 1930's, but the Victorian Era is my favorite. We have a few Villages like this, they are Colonial, up to Victorian, though they tend to lean more Colonial, but I love that time period as well, so I don't mind.

    Where did you get the individual "candle" lights for your Christmas tree?

    Was that the beautiful Dyfi Bridge I spotted at the beginning of your video?

      @@cerridwencottagediary9194 My grandparents lived in Pennal. We lived near Aberystwyth and we used to visit them every weekend of my childhood. I know that journey like the back of my hand! Thank you for your lovely videos.

      Oh wow. The journey to Pennal will be changing soon as they are building a new bridge so the lovely old bridge will only be for walkers and cyclists. We are so glad you enjoy them@@SMartypAntsPants
