"I treasure the solitude that farming gives me. It's a sort of tedium in which you needn't think where you're going to throw the next shovelful of muck and can think instead about how you're going to put the next words together."

Dic Jones's serious words have been gravely received and rewarded by many prizes, including the most coveted of all, the Chair at the National Eisteddfod. His lighter lines celebrate joyful events, lampoon the living and commemorate the dead, works often done to order and repaid usually with thanks but on one occasion with a gift of four trout - "which worked out at a trout a line."
