Mae'n edrych fel glaw ~ It looks like rain

'Nant-Gwaedlyd (bloody brook.) A stream which rises in the Cefn range of hills, flows in a south-easterly direction through Whitchurch and is, apparently, lost in the Glamorganshire Canal at Mynachdy. It is said, with some probability, to derive its name from the great battle fought between the Welsh and the Anglo-Normans on Cardiff Heath c. 1090.'

Penderfynais i fynd i'r siopa heddiw, er gwaethaf y glaw, oherwydd doeddwn i ddim eisiau mynd i'r siopa ddydd Sadwrn, pan fydd pryd gallen nhw fod yn brysur. Roeddwn i'n ffodus i gael tywydd sych am fy nhaith er (fel rydych chi'n gweld) roedd y nant yn rhedeg yn gyflym gyda chanlyniadau'r glaw cynharach. Mae lliw'r nant ar ôl glaw drwm yn atgoffa o'i enw 'Nant gwaedlyd'.  Maen rhyfedd i deffwl bod bobl yn cerdded wrth y nant i'r siopau heb ynrhyw syniad am ei hanes. Mae'n angen plac, efallai.

I decided to go shopping today, despite the rain, because I didn't want to go shopping on a Saturday, when there is a time when they could be busy. I was lucky to have dry weather for my trip although (as you can see) the stream was running fast with the results of the earlier rain. The color of the stream after heavy rain is reminiscent of its name 'Bloody brook'. It's strange to think that people walk by the stream to the shops with no idea of its history. It needs a plaque, perhaps.
