Bad Day for Wales

Our thoughts must go out to the families and friends of the trapped Swansea minersLet us pray that they are rescued safely.

Thank's for your kind words Benny. Two of them were big friends of mine and it has indeed been a sad day for the Swansea Valley.

A very sad time indeed. I worked in the mines before I joined the Army and aware of dangers the profession holds. Indeed, I have also lost pals and a relative to the mines.
To echo Benny's sentiments, my thoughts and sympathy go out to all relatives and friends.

t'was early morn before the dawn that grey september day, premonition did not warn of disaster on its way. it slowly dawned on his numbed brain tis heaven that i see and angels they must be

A sad day for Wales and a sad day for the Swansea Valley. God bless and protect their families.

Mogs22 reminds me of the verse:

'Old miners speak; not to complain, each one recalls those with more pain, we're the lucky ones: is their belief, the friends we lost caused far more grief'

Condolences to you and their families. tom, sheila.
