A question to all the Mumsnetters who are WELSH........

[RTKangaMummy]

When you are driving and see the writing on the ground in english and welsh

which do you read?

I have just come back from a week in wales and have been wondering it as driving around











.

duwcs, dyma braf!
Nice, nostalgic thread about CYMRU FACH - what more could one ask for..?

[RTKangaMummy]

lol

oke doke

[moondog]

Aaaah,edam,will think very fondly of you know, saying 'diolch' across the UK.

Good for you-I know people who have lived here for years who can't even exercise these basic courtesies.

[edam]

Be careful how you use that RTKM - I came back from nostalgic trip to Wales last year and had to remember to stop saying 'diolch' in shops. Got some very strange looks at the motorway service stations on the drive home...

Mind you I get odd looks when I come back from trips to my other 'family home' calling everyone 'love' - for some reason people in the South East aren't used to it.

PLEASE and THANK YOU

Hi CQ. MAy well take you up on your offer this summer.

[CelluliteQueen]

Haven't been on MN for a while but just wanted to say hi to Moondog and Pixie. Hope you're both well and still welcome to call for a coffee if you're ever in the area! My DS is 2 next month - it's scary how time flies! xx

gosh, mum used to live in bodelwyddan, just down the road from the marble church, have been to bodelwyddan castle many a time, strangely enough when i was in the majorettes, we quite often used to have carnivals at st asaph. rtkanga, my kids can not really speak much welsh, they can understand the basics, but then dh is english so only me, welsh speaking in the home.

Countryside is beautiful

[moondog]

Thanks! (Must have been too busy swotting to concern myself with immediate vicinity....)Thought of Denbigh a lot tonight...Live Aid occured on my final day of school after seven years' incarceration.......

The Speech Day was ruined by girls running off to watch it. Remember my bf at the time coming to see me-hardly saw him the whole day. He found a tv secreted in a lecture theatre and never came out..

Ahhh,reminisce over. Glad you liked our neck of the woods.

[RTKangaMummy]

here is some more info

[RTKangaMummy]

So if you go through denbigh and out other side

It is very very tiny village

[moondog]

Freaking even more-was in school in Denbigh!!!

[RTKangaMummy]

On the other side of Denbigh

[RTKangaMummy]

A residential centre kind of place

[moondog]

Where's Nantglyn? What goes on there?? (Feeling mildly paranoid now-should know as I spent 7 years in boarding school in that neck of the woods.)

[RTKangaMummy]

DS was staying in Nantglyn

So I chose nearby town

[moondog]

Eh? Seems an...unusual choice of holiday destination, unless you were staying in Bodelwyddan Castle?

St Asaph

I am working on preparation for my next bout of sessions at Galeri next week, and I've been away-went to see Al Green in Birmingham on Thursday night. Stayed over in fab Hotel du Vin, had a full body massage,drunk loads of Champagne.

Solitary bliss for 24 hours..first time I've been away from ds overnight.(He's 1 tomorrow!)

All like a strange dream now though. Back to washing nappies and sweeping the kitchen floor about 20 times a day......
