I didn’t know there was doubt about Druid existence.
I dated a Druid once.
She was such a Druish princess.
...sorry...

They’re digging up Druish Princesses?
Don’t let King Roland hear of this!

I didnt know there was doubt about Druid existence.In the absence of archaeological evidence of Druids, some writers have raised the possibility that Julius Caesar made them up. It's an overwhelmingly minority position on the question!
As they say in the ancient history biz, "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."

My Irish Grandmother claimed that there were rumours that one of our relatives was Welsh, but some of us remain sceptical.

I read that the Roman armies wiped out the Druids two thousand years ago.
Today’s “Druids” are just Johnny-Come-Lately wannabes.
To: Ruy Dias de Bivar
Today’s Druids have no connection to the original.
They’re British hippies.

My Welsh family had some Irish ancestry. People moved to Wales to work in the mines when they were booming.

I think they became fashionable for young UK nobs in the late 1800s. Sort of Victorian Age hipsters, Churchill joined the society. Help his political career to show he was one of “cool crowd”.

Neat. My Grandmother and father had black hair and brown eyes. I guess that’s not unusual for the Welsh.

My grandma, whose parents were Welsh immigrants, said the Welsh were either tallish and blond like my dad and some of her brothers; or small and dark like my uncle and some of her other brothers. Seems like my “dark” uncles were the wild ones.
Her dad went down to the mines when he was 8 but changed jobs after 50 years because the damp was affecting his singing voice. A guy’s got to have priorities ;-)
