Section retitled: Cwm Rhondda

I show a posting below that I received last night on my talk page, together with my reply, and the user's response:

Bread of Heaven

I enjoyed your collection of flags at the top of this page.

I know (the English version of) the hymn that includes the line "bread of heaven". In fact, it is right up at the top of my favorites. But please tell me what is the specific connection between Welsh rugby and "bread of heaven".

Thanks, Wanderer57 (talk) 22:35, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Cwm Rhondda is a very well known Welsh hymn tune. First performed in 1907. Cwm Rhondda translates as "the Rondda Valley" in English, and more often than not, sung to the words: Guide me, O thou great Redeemer. Wales rugby union supporters adopted it years ago, although the reason is not understood, apart from the fact that it is an inspiring song which everyone knew (Sundays in chapel) and could keep repeating, and repeating... I think it splendid.
It was sung at the funerals of both Princess Diana and the Queen Mother, and at the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton.

It is indeed splendid, both tune and words. The version I learned (in the United Church of Canada) began Guide me, O thou great Jehovah.
The part of the story I did not know was its adoption by the Rugby union. A great anthem, known to everyone in Wales. I guess it is a natural. Wanderer57 (talk) 03:37, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

I am wondering if you would be kind enough to add below any knowledge you may have on this topic.

Many thanks for your time.

Assessment classes

Thanks for correcting my blind spot for mid(dle) and med(ium). I'm trying to minimise the number of stubs we have. I see you have spent a lot of time sorting out an assessment process for MonmouthpediA. Well done, I could n't get it to work and I see you have one working in your sandbox. Are you going to publish? I'm going to be in Chepstow/ Monmouth on Monday and Tuesday. Are you local? Victuallers (talk) 19:55, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
I live locally (well South East Wales, not Monmouth), except I'm away from home for the next few weeks. I will look where I can publish what's in my sandbox. welsh (talk) 20:32, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
