Born Shouting

It doesn’t jump out at you, but Born Shouting is a blog that has been born and bred in Wales. Wales is a country that is little known, often misunderstood and sometimes confused with other places. I love the description written by Geraldus Cambrensis in 1191 – short and concise yet a powerful depiction of Wales’ geography and ancient inhabitants.

It is a country very strongly defended by high mountains, deep valleys, extensive woods, rivers,
and marshes; insomuch that from the time the Saxons took possession of the island the remnants of the Britons, retiring into these regions, could never be entirely subdued either by the English or by the Normans.
