Imagine this – you're at home during the festive season. Tree lights on, candles going, mince pie in hand.
You hear a knock at the door, and a tap at the window too. You see the silhouette – a horse’s head. Mari Lwyd is here.
Mari Lwyd is one such Welsh tradition, its origins clouded in mystery as it canters on through the ages

@globalmuseum it's very, very hard to sing "bugger off" and keep the gravitas in your voice, you know.
