Mike maɪk<p>Good to re-visit a fav. place in N. Wales. Cymru-Wales has the largest no. of ancient yews in the world. This yew, one of the oldest living things I’m ever likely to see, is in the equally ancient burial ground at Cyffylliog. It’s thought to be over 2000yrs old.<br />Fascinating to imagine as a sapling it would hear (!) a Brittonic dialect spoken by Iron Age locals + Latin &amp; other tongues of Roman army passing through, building their roads &amp; forts.<br /><a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/yew" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>yew</span></a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/wales" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>wales</span></a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/cymru" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cymru</span></a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/today" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>today</span></a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>language</span></a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/welshChurch" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>welshChurch</span></a></p>
Mike maɪk<p>A fav. photo of 2022 taken at this time of year before the start of Spring. It felt a dead place, the graveyard &amp; redundant welsh church in the Dee Valley. I reflected on the death of my once lively christian faith which for years controlled how I saw the world, as the church has done for centuries. I found a new way of seeing, new Light. The dark winter days will pass, like everything, even the church. <br /><a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/riverdee" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>riverdee</span></a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/oldchurch" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>oldchurch</span></a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/wales" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>wales</span></a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/walkinginwales" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>walkinginwales</span></a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/newlight" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>newlight</span></a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/welshchurch" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>welshchurch</span></a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/oldchurches" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>oldchurches</span></a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/cymruwales" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cymruwales</span></a></p>
