Bar 44 Tapas y Copas: This Is Our Spain

Product Information

Owen: It’s something we’ve been asked about for years and years, by regulars especially- “Why haven’t you written all this down?” Describing the early days they opened the original Bar 44 in Cowbridge, Owen says: "It was 100-hour weeks covering cleaning toilets to prepping at 5am, to running the bar, waiting tables, bookkeeping and even being door staff.

The exact date and place of Morgan's birth is unknown, as Morgan himself hid the details. Although the 1881 census states his year of birth as 1839, latter studies have placed it as 1836. [2] Born to a Thomas T. Morgan, a coal miner, and his wife, Margaret, of Penygraig in the Rhondda, research in The Oxford Companion to the Literature of Wales states that an Owen Morgan was born to a Thomas Morgan and Margaret (née Owen) and christened in 1836. Although no explicit evidence is available, Morgan would later claim connection with the families of Morgan of Llantarnam and Thomas of Llanmihangel.

Owen Morgan, also known by his bardic name Morien (1836 – 16 December 1921) was a Welsh journalist, and a writer of books on the subject of neo-druidism. Morgan developed the mythology of both Iolo Morganwg and Myfyr Morganwg [ cy], and his druidical writing is not taken seriously by historians. [1] Life history [ edit ] The idea is to create a permanent parish based data base of husband and wife names from individual family files, incorporating birth parishes, occupations, date spans, places at censuses/burials, names and birth places of children, and where in the country/world the contributor's appropriate direct ancestor ended up by 1901.

We create food, drink, atmosphere and venues that people want to spend time in and create great memories." I lost three stone in weight in five months. When I came up for air my friends who I hadn't seen in that time couldn't believe it." Tom: We do online vouchers and one of the most satisfying and reinforcing things is the messages people put on there to go with the voucher. ‘This is our favourite place’. ‘We know you’ll fall in love with it’. Perhaps if someone bought the book as a gift for friends overseas but wanted them to know what it was like at the restaurants…that would be just as special, that they wanted to share their enthusiasm for what we do. We have various companies in the UK which would send us samples- we must have tried around 50 types of Asturian blue cheese in the last year alone- but to go there with the guy who makes it is so special… I suggest a ? is used where a fact is unknown/uncertain, and a + sign where a date of death, for instance, is not known and where the latest known date that a person was alive is being shown.In 1870 Morgan took on a job as a writer on the Western Mail, and around the same period he began to write his own books after taking an interest in local history. He made his name as a journalistic writer when he covered the Tynewydd Colliery rescue in Porth in 1877. [3] Morgan closely associated himself with Myfyr Morganwg (Evan Davies), a self-proclaimed archdruid and Welsh writer in neo-druidry, who himself was a student of Iolo Morganwg (Edward Williams) one of the most important and controversial historians in Welsh affairs. In 1889 Morgan published Pabell Dafydd, a Welsh language book on druidism which he followed with Kimmerian Discoveries, covering Morgan's research and thinking on the alleged Chaldean origins of the Welsh people. [1] In 1893 he wrote his magnum opus The Light of Britannia which again explored Druidism in Britain, but also included chapters on phallic worship, King Arthur and his twelve knights and Saint Paul's supposed journey to South Wales. In 1901 Morgan released, The Royal Winged Son of Stonehenge and Avebury a reprint of Kimmerian Discoveries under a different title. The Royal Winged Son was republished in 1984 under the title Mabin of the Mabinogion.

Owen: Well who knows… perhaps it’ll be translated into Spanish, unleashed on international markets, taken into space…

A lot of this is what makes us different to any other Spanish-led operator in the UK. What really sets us apart though, is the unique skill sets we all have, splitting them out and excelling in our different areas. We push each other on together be more than the sum of our parts. I get messages from people talking about some of the difficulties they had figuring out what it means for them to not believe, and communicating with family members and stuff,” he said. But since Oliver has been doing ex-dairy cows, he has now got it to a level which is absolutely incredible, so it’s hard to tell now when we sample- one of the hardships of the job!- his alongside imported Galician Blond. That’s his true passion and craft, and him only accepting the very highest standards.
