These are great designs for kids' raincoats. :))

Great ideas, these OK to Wake toys :D. But I, too, thought that was a glowing skull. It was rather incongruous there :D

King James II was monarch of both England and Scotland, but he 'converted' (some evidence to say he was all along) to Catholicism. The English nobility pretty much kicked him off the throne and installed William and Mary.

Meanwhile, up in Scotland, the clans weren't best pleased about this. They campaigned (with swords) to have James reinstated. He was their true monarch. It wasn't just in Scotland, it was notably in Ireland too (Battle of the Boyne), and had some sympathy in the rest of the British Isles. Those who supported James II were called Jacobites.

After he died, his son, then grandson were deemed to be the real kings; while the throne was actually being occupied by first William and Mary, then Anne, then finally some Hanoverian cousins - all of those Georges. Nevertheless, the campaign was still called Jacobite, even though the monarch at the time of Culloden was actually called (Bonnie) Prince Charles Edward Stuart.

Thank you very much.

I thoroughly recommend finding a nice pub, perhaps in Temple Bar, Dublin, with live Irish music and a Guinness on the table. That is the perfect way to enjoy it.

Shonna - LOL And what's new here, cariad? <3

Mira - I may be biased, but I think that the Welsh language is the most beautiful sound on Earth. Y croeso. (You're welcome!)

I note your request for a Wizzle about the Welsh dragon, and I will do my best to deliver it. <3

You had me at Wales!

I'd like to try the Guiness in Ireland too! :D

This was a great article, Jo!

So interesting! Now I know about the Red Dragon and more about corgis!! Ah, and learned a few other things as well, including some Welsh.:) I'm fascinated by what this language looks on paper, and like the sound of it (thank you for the Silent Night song!)

I want to know more about the Red Dragon!! So interesting that a fantastical creature shows up on a flag. I guess you didn't write more about it because people know about it, but I find it fascinating.

HI DO YOU HAVE THE ROCKSTAR JACKET ON SIEZE 4T?

I find the history stories fascinating, but I don't always understand them. What is a Jacobite? Maybe I read too fast.

Actually, it's pretty cool that you can shop and ask someone at home what to buy. There certainly are advantages.

I'm guilty of some of the things you say, Lana. I talk to my friends while shopping. I take it on walks. I never answer the phone unless I recognize the phone number. There are pros and cons to cell phones. Some of the cons are big which makes you wonder if it's worth it.

Bendigedig! Did you sing along with him?

This is a great reminder for people, Katie. My main problem with social media now is that I don't get out as much to meet people face to face. However, it's a necessary evil for those making their living on the Internet. I'll Tweet this to get the word out to others.
