Erratum:

One of the benefits of a Network Blogs feed is that posts on this site also appear on the facebook, whence Julie W makes the following correction:

 "After recently touring the brewery I can't help but correct you on the history of the name. It was in fact after Scottish and Newcastle had bought out Theakston brewery and he set to go against the grain* and start up a small local brewery rather than being part of a multi-national. He was in fact a black sheep of the brewery business, not his family. So I was led to believe."

Bread of Heaven

Listen to Bread of Heaven (Cwm Rhondda)

Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch,
Fi, bererin gwael ei wedd,
Nad oes ynof nerth na bywyd
Fel yn gorwedd yn y bedd:
Hollalluog, Hollalluog,
Ydyw'r Un a'm cwyd i'r lan.
Ydyw'r Un a'm cwyd i'r lan

Agor y ffynhonnau melus
'N tarddu i maes o'r Graig y sydd;
Colofn dân rho'r nos i'm harwain,
A rho golofn niwl y dydd;
Rho i mi fanna, Rho i mi fanna,
Fel na bwyf yn llwfwrhau.
Fel na bwyf yn llwfwrhau.

Pan yn troedio glan Iorddonen,
Par i'm hofnau suddo i gyd;
Dwg fi drwy y tonnau geirwon
Draw i Ganaan -- gartref clyd:
Mawl diderfyn. Mawl diderfyn
Fydd i'th enw byth am hyn.
Fydd i'th enw byth am hyn.

Thy daily bread #1

Birthdays are great for getting typewriter paraphernalia. This fine bone china mug was a present from my sister in Wales. The creative behind it is Roderick Field. He has a way with words and pictures. Mug is by McLaggan Smith Mugs of Alexandria, Scotland. It is about an hour away from the former Olivetti works at Queenslie, Glasgow.
