A Welsh love story

Appologies in advance to the population of Wales.But it is only a joke.

An elderly man lay dying in his little bed, while suffering the

agonies of impending death; when he suddenly smells the aroma of his

favourite treat, freshly made Welsh cakes, wafting up the stairs from

the kitchen.

He gathers his remaining strength, and lifts himself from his bed. And,

leaning on the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and

with even greater effort, gripping the railing with both hands, he

slowly crawls downstairs.

With laboured breath, he leans against the kitchen door frame, gazing

through watery eyes into the kitchen.

Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in

heaven, for there, spread out upon waxed paper on the kitchen table

were dozens of freshly made Welsh cakes fresh from the oven and cooling

slowly.

Was he in heaven? Or was it one final act of love from his Devoted

Welsh wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left this mortal world

a truly happy man?

Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself towards the table,

landing on his knees in a rumpled posture.

His aged and withered hand trembled as it moved slowly towards the

closest Welsh cake, possessing extra raisins, his favourite ones laid

out neatly at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked by

his wife with a spatula.

"F**k off" she says, "they're for the funeral."

Hi Graham

Before I read your message, I had just come off the phone from my mum, who had being looking after my son for me today because there was no school. I asked her what she was up too? Her reply was making Welsh cakes.

How spookey and we are from Wales.

Is that the Welsh Women, or the Welsh cakes ???. Mind you I have the Welsh Woman (wife) and she can make Welsh cakes to. That must be where the saying comes from " have your Welsh Cake and eat it "
