Y Ddraig Goch: The Story of the Welsh Red Dragon Pt 1

Arderydd is the battle where Myrddyn went mad. Later on, that story was twisted into something more by Geoffrey of Monmouth and Myrddyn became Merlin. But it seems that the original tale referred to something quite terrible to behold up there. ...

Stephen Fry in America: The First Three Episodes of the Six-Part BBC Series

As much as he says he "abhors" the notion of "fun," he's quite fun to watch, listen to, and read himself!:)

Stephen Fry in America: The First Three Episodes of the Six-Part BBC Series

I watched the documentary on TV a few years back and loved it. I'd forgotten there was a book accompanying it, too. I'll have to check that out. Stephen Fry is always great to watch, listen to and read!

Make Your Own Baileys

I'll admit that I was worried when I first tried it, but I've never had an issue with the raw eggs. That being said, I only keep it in the fridge for a few days and then it is binned even if I haven't drank it all. I think carefully about when I ...
