Mick here's my favourite Welsh Lullaby sang in Welsh of course.



To my lullaby surrender,
Warm and tender is my breast;
Mother's arms with love caressing
Lay their blessing on your rest;
Nothing shall tonight alarm you,
None shall harm you, have no fear;
Lie contented, calmly slumber
On your mother's breast my dear.

Here tonight I tightly hold you
And enfold you while you sleep,
Why, I wonder, are you smiling
Smiling in your slumber deep?
Are the angels on you smiling
And beguiling you with charm,
While you also smile, my blossom,
In my bosom soft and warm?

Have no fear now, leaves are knocking,
Gently knocking at our door;
Have no fear now, waves are beating,
Gently beating on the shore.
Sleep, my darling, none shall harm you
Nor alarm you, never
And beguiling those on high.

Saltpoolsfilms, where exactly are you? I know some areas of Gog land quite well. I lived near Wrexham for a while and my daughter still lives up there. I think you may be the first Gog in the forum!

I once thought Suo Gan was sung a church song based on watching Empire of the Sun. A couple of years ago I learned it was a Welsh lullaby and Christian Bale was not the voice you hear in the film. Anyway, it's a really nice sounding song.

No Wayne there's another Gog Huw from Pwllheli he hasn't been around for a while though.

I stand corrected.

Welcome to the forum. Are the raised moles in an area that you can easily shave around?

I can't give you any advice from experience unfortunately, but I would say you need to be careful in that area - you don't have the benefit of a safety bar with a straight.
