Join Us for an All-Day Celebration of Welsh Motherhood

Honoring Dylan Thomass Mam on the 130th Anniversary of Her Birth.

A Welsh Mam is a dragon with a huge heart... a woman you could trust with your life: a woman of pride, high standards, love and fierce loyalty. So says Annie Haden doyenne of 5 Cwmdonkin Drive Dylan Thomass lovingly-restored birthplace and home in Swansea, Wales.

And so, on April 27 from 10:30 am 4:30 pm, Annie is hosting a free tea party at the Thomas familys former home. She invites anyone in the area to drop in and share stories of a Welsh Mam. Shell supply the tea and Welsh Cakes, while visitors supply the memories - photos, recipes or reminiscences.

The celebration honoring Welsh motherhood and Florence Thomas continues from 7:30 pm with an evening of sung and spoken words that glorify the strength, pride and love of the Welsh Mam. Lorraine King and Cheryl Beer are among the poets, singers and storytellers who will participate. You can bring your own wine, if you like. Price 10.00 (approximately $16 USD) per person. To reserve, email: annie@dylanthomasbirthplace.com.

Well now, my feisty heroine Martha Morgan has been called "Mother Wales" -- but never, to my knowledge, a Welsh Mam. She was certainly a woman of great pride, loving, sexy (are Welsh Mams allowed to be sexy?), loyal, compassionate and fiercely protective of her children. And she enjoyed a nice cup of tea..... especially if the tea was smuggled and tax-free.

Ceri - I thought this was a fun way to launch myself on Americymru! The birthplace is fantastic and takes guests too!
