In any event, I’m pleased to see that Amazon is adding more Welsh content.

Says it right there…I thought “Brokeback Ovine” was classier, but no-one asks me.

We were shopping around town at a bunch of used bookstores yesterday. My wife found this children’s book marked down to $6 on a back table. It’s from 1922. I’m hoping I look half as good if I make it to 97.

The name amused me, and the illustrations were beautiful, so I bought it with the plan of scanning it all and posting it here at some point.

I’m also going to do some digging and see if I can turn up any info about the author and publisher; off the bat I see they share the same last name.

In the meantime, here is the cover:

(Edit) apparently I got a pretty good deal:

So hey the sheep thing is what the English like to say about Celtic peoples. What is the analog that the Welsh, Scots and Irish say about the English?

“Saes” in Welsh, probably from “Saxon”. “Saes diawl” is “English devil”.

My dad’s people came from the isles, pretty sure the clan motto was something like, “Get yer ass in the boat ye ninny, ye can have more children! Women an’ livestock first!”*

There’s always time for livestock, and I expect, lubricant too. Or so say my forbears. Ahem.

*Not really. The clan motto is something less useful and equally tiresome.

Actually, I think it’s what Celtic people say about Celtic people. I expect the English say things like, “The Welsh are still a thing? How twee!”

I’m embarrassed to admit that the Scots have all the best jokes about it.
