Porthmadoc in the rain and a Welsh choir

Yesterday was wet with occasional interludes of damp. We had a saunter round Porthmadoc and went into the Marine museum which was small but very interesting. It focussed on the shipbuilding industry in the town which really boomed in the mid 1800s until steam came along, then the number of wooden sailing ships built dropped dramatically.
In the evening we went to the Betws y coed church (which we learned means prayer house in the wood). We went to hear a male voice choir. They were very good indeed doing a mixture of songs for the concert. At the end they and those in the audience who spoke Welsh, which was most of them, sang a hymn followed by the National anthem, both in Welsh, and it was quite moving to isten to them. The Welsh love singing and sing from their hearts.
No photos, too damp and dark yesterday.
