Thanks to Gareth Davies for posting this on Facebook -- just some of the carved inscriptions on that flattish slab just inside the cave entrance.  Location:  top secret, but up near the top of Tycanol Wood..

Sacrifice -- the audiobook


 This one is now available from Bolinda Audio, from Audible and other outlets, and it should also be available from the Welsh Library Service via county libraries etc.  If you are not looking for a digital download, there are CD versions too -- the MP3 version is a single CD for use with computers and modern equipment, and the normal CD version has 13 discs, ready for use on an old-fashioned CD player......

That French Invasion 1797

 





Somebody posted on Facebook these photos from the 1997 celebrations of the French Invasion 200 years earlier.  The top two photos show the uniforms that some of the French "Black Legion" might have worn -- and the bottom pic shows some of the red-coated British troops as they might have appeared in Lord Cawdor's scratch army in defence of the realm.......

All the CDs published so far

 


A nice parcel from Australia today -- from Bolinda, the producers of my audiobooks. These are my author's copies of the six Angel Mountain audiobooks published so far. There are two versions -- the thick packs contain normal CDs, and the ones in the foreground are MP3 CDs for those who have the right equipment.  The MP3 versions will not play on old-fashioned CD players, but will work on modern computers with a CD slot, car CD players and DVD players connected to a TV or audio speakers.  All available for sale and from the "Borrow Box" service arranged by Welsh libraries.

All the books can also be downloaded as digital audio versions, for use on Kindles, iPads or iPhones.

Billy Ifans the head man

 


This is a lovely image of Tony Wrench, our friend and neighbour, looking up towards Carningli.  I like to think this is Billy Ifans, the head man at Plas Ingli, looking up at the mountain in one of his quieter moments...........
