She meant to, from the time she takes to dress.
Spring knows too well you're glad of any date
And, like the pretty girl she is, comes late".
Writer and producer John Ormond's gentle film documentary is a lyrical tribute to the arrival of Spring. Beautifully shot by Bill Greenhalgh, and narrated by Rhosllanerchrugog's finest, Meredith Edwards.
Made by the BBC's Welsh Film Unit.
Clip taken from A Sort of Welcome to Spring, originally broadcast on BBC Television (BBC Wales regional opt out), 26 March, 1959.
