A Conversation for CELTIC DEVON

Breizh

Hi all,
I just got back from a small holiday in Brittany (Breizh) which as im sure most of you are aware is a member of the celtic league of nations and while i was there aside from enjoying learning about their rich celtic history i noticed that nearly all of the town "twinnings" were to towns in either Devon or Cornwall (infact i didnt see one that wasnt in Devon or Cornwall). I was quite aware of the obvious connections between our neighbors and Brittany but i was quite surprised to learn that many of our Brythonic cousins see Devon as celtic also.

Id imagine that come summertime ther'll be quite a few Devon flags on bumpers across Brittany sitting quite comfortable alongsode those of Breizh and Cornwall (As far as i saw our car was the only one in Brittany sporting the Janners Green)

Merry Christmas all.
