The Survival of the Ancient Kings of Gwynedd
It was long regarded as a truth that the senior patrilineal (that is from father to son) bloodline of Rhodri Mawr - known as the House of Aberffraw - which had sired such famous names as Owain Gwynedd, Llywellyn the Great and Llywellyn ap Gruffudd The Last - had died out in the Middle Ages upon the death of Owain Lawgoch in 1378.
However - recent research has shown this to be untrue. The family ANWYL O TYWYN are the real royal house of Gwynedd and of Cymru
To be a king among the Britons your ancestry was everything and without a valid claim by blood you could never be more than a mere usurper. Inheritance was almost always through the male line and the descendants of Rhodri Mawr's eldest son Anarawd were long acknowledged as the masters of all the other British princes. It was standard wisdom that this line died out upon the assassination of Owen Lawgoch in France in 1378.
However, we now know that descendants of Rhodri Mawr - the Hereditary Kings of the Britons - survive to this day and still live in Gwynedd. The male-line descendants of the sixth son of Owain Gwynedd survived in the guise of the noble houses of Wynn of Wynnstay and Anwyl of Parc through the Middle Ages to the modern era. The House of Wynn died out in 1719 but the House of Anwyl survived and endure unto this day.
This video is based on genuine records (See Wikipedia: 'Anwyl of Tywyn' for more) and plots the course of kings had Wales not been occupied by England and its line of proud kings dislodged.

Ancient lost Forest on the coast of Wales in Borth.
After a storm in April 2019 on Borth Beach in West Wales, an ancient submerged forest was uncovered. The forest had been covered over by sea and sand 4500 years ago by rising sea level after the last ice age. It is believed the forest went out many miles into the Irish Sea.

Something Just Like This
I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spiderman's control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list
But she said, where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
The testaments they told
The moon and its eclipse
And Superman unrolls
A suit before he lifts
But I'm not the kind of person that it fits
She said, where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can miss
I want something just like this
I want something just like this
I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

More people choosing alcohol-free drinks this Christmas
(15 Dec 2017) LEADIN:
The number of British adults who consume alcohol is at its lowest since 2005.
A movement called mindful drinking is on the rise, with events, bars and a host of booze-free tipples being marketed to those looking for balance in their drinking habits.
STORYLINE:
Nirvana Brewery uses the hops used by any other craft beer maker to producer its pale ale, lager, stout and IPA.
But despite its brewer being an old hand in the alcohol beverage industry, he stops short of ever making any alcohol in the brewing process. He uses a very similar process to making normal beer, but employs tricks such as using a less fermentable recipe.
Nirvana bills itself as the world's first low and no alcohol brewery - its all natural, non-alcoholic beers never have more than 0.5 percent alcohol in them.
We're not telling people not to drink beer. We are another option for those of you who (don't drink alcohol) for health reasons, for religious reasons, lifestyle reasons, or simply be it designated drivers, says Steve Dass, the co-founder and creative director of Nirvana Brewery.
Dass wants to bring the non-alcoholic beer market away from past notions of such drinks being poor tasting and badly marketed.
What people want from non-alcoholic beer, if we can achieve it, and we're trying very hard, is what the craft brewers are doing, Dass says.
Our beers, at the moment, our Karma (beer), is packed with citra hops and citra hops is great, and this is what a lot of the craft brewers are very successful with. Our Sutra (beer), we've got cascade and chinook (both types of hops) which gives you a bit of pine, a bit of grapefruit (flavours).
It's just something a little bit different. And also our beers are very low calorie - like 70 calories, which is great.
Nirvana has been selling out since May when it started brewing - initially 7,000 bottles a month, now 14,000. Dass wants to double that current capacity next year.
Dass comes from a career in the beer industry and was inspired by not being able to find good tasting non-alcoholic beer to drink. So he's not surprised that his beers have found a market
It's a very, very big community now, he says. This sector of the industry is something to really be taken seriously.
The numbers back him up. Those preferring to cut down or stop drinking alcohol - also known as 'mindful drinking' - is a growing trend.
The UK's Office for National Statistics now says that 21 percent of adults say they don't drink alcohol at all and that the number of British adults who consume alcohol is at its lowest since 2005.
In the UK, sales of low and non-alcoholic beer grew by 20.5 per cent over the last 12 months to July 2017, according to market researchers Nielsen.
And the popularity of mindful drinking extends to bars and events.
Club Soda is a mindful drinking movement with an online community of more than 10,000 members.
It holds nights in alcohol-free gastro bars, in trendy areas of London such as Notting Hill and Shoreditch, and hosts festivals.
At its Christmas festival, one of Club Soda's members, Belinda Fullelova, explains why she became a mindful drinker: Health reasons, obviously, and also for me I found that alcohol was having quite an emotional impact. People often talk about the beer fear the morning after when they have a hangover and stuff like that. For me it was just bringing a lot of anxiety and depression my way. And once I identified that there was a link there I thought, '(Let's) see what life is like without it'.
Teetotaler Carwyn Tywyn, says he gave up drinking when he lost his job and thought that drinking alcohol wouldn't be of any benefit in such conditions.
But he has since maintained avoiding alcohol for additional reasons.

A Little Piece of Me - Samantha Horwill
Samantha Horwill follows her debut album with the release of the intimate and affirmative 'A little piece of me'
'A little piece of me', the second single to be taken from 2012's 'Caught in the light', is the equally beautiful follow up to lead single 'Do you remember?'
Recorded at one of the best studios in the world, Real World Studios, and mixed with a Nashville flavour by of Mark Nevers (Lambchop), this is another in a collection of songs that captures the voice of a unique singer and songwriter.
The album's most intimate composition, 'A little piece of me' finds its strength in a simple piano and a compellingly restrained vocal; Samantha's distinctive voice [is] warm, delicate and effortlessly skilled (Amy's Musical Express). Its uplifting refrain offers a vulnerable and raw meditation on the power of expression within us all that can find its release in the beauty of the everyday.
Lyrics
Pallour of grey is where I begin,
then the setting sun rushes to colour me in.
There's a little piece of you,
there's a little piece of me that needs to explode.
Like a fallen star in an empty dream in a sacred place for you and me. Like a flower born when the sun is high, so beautiful it makes me cry. Exploding.
Broken is somewhere innocence hides.
Kaleidoscope pictures, a dawn on the rise.
There's a little piece of you,
there's a little piece of me,
there's a little piece of everyone that needs to explode.
Like a fallen star in an empty dream in a sacred place for you and me. Like a flower born when the sun is high, so beautiful it makes me cry. Exploding.

Medmerry Flood Defence Scheme
The Environment Agency has restarted construction work on the £28 million project to build new sea defences and create environmental habitat at Medmerry.
Work had to stop over the winter due to the very heavy rainfall that made the site too wet. The recent drier weather has allowed the ground at the site to dry out after the wettest year on record. Bulldozers and excavators are back on site to continue moving the half a million cubic metres of earth needed to build the seven kilometres of new defences.
