PHOTOS-Happy Saint David’s Day

Happy Saint David’s Day to Welshmen and Welsh Women around the world and universe! A short anonymous poem about the seven wonders of Wales:-

“Pistyll Rhaeadr and Wrexham steeple,
Snowdon’s mountain without its people,
Overton yew trees, St Winefride’s wells,
Llangollen bridge and Gresford bells”

Who’d have thought of the Welsh connections some of these celebrities got!
