This was insipired by memories of my father’s lusty singing of the humourous 'National Anthem of the Ancient Britons' or the 'Woad Ode' (to tune of Men of Harlech) I didn’t know it by that title but just by some of the words and tune (see links) I used to enjoy the fun, rhythm and fun rhymes. What I’ve written comes from thinking about it but is nothing like it.

It seems obvious what has happened, but I expected Marti to rush straight out and to the police. Rhiannon

Somehow she comes to life in a nice way when you mention her enjoying having conversations in French, not being cross not to be needed in teaching French. She sounds as if she would always find ways to be useful, and of course, maybe in the music...

I think I followed you more easily than some of the others. I think my hearing finds it difficult to keep pace if reading is fairly fast. Mark started to put links on, and I thought that could be useful, to be able to refer to the written...
