Wales

I'm trying hard to at least say some words in Welsh by using tutorials on line and also by watching Pobol y Cym - with subtitles.

whoops! Should be Cwm

The first time I saw Pobol Y Cym in the tv listings, my brain tried to make sense of it before I realised it was in Welsh!
If all the men in Wales sounded like Richard Burton ( or looked like him) I would live there in a flash.

Have no chance of forgetting Wales exists, Annie. I am married to a Welshman. He doesn't sound (or look) like Richard Burton, but he'll do! My sister always said his voice made her melt. He can sing the odd song in Welsh, but doesn't speak the language.

DH and I are a very multicultural couple Anniebach. We were in Glasgow for the weekend, home to England on Monday and DH was in Wrexham yesterday on business.

and I have millions of daffodils growing in my front garden

Greyduster, the voice does it every time

I love Wales. We have spent many happy hours on holiday there. Anglesey is my particular favourite, the scenery is fantastic. I married a man with a Welsh surname, so I count myself part Welsh. (I don't know how long ago the family left Wales).

Anglesey is beautiful, my family are from Anglesey, many generations , no idea how far back, only got to 18th century

My very first holiday away from my parents was at the age of 10 when I went to a Girl Guide camp for a week in the Berwyn Mountains above Llangollen. The weather was wonderful and the scenery breathtaking. I have loved Wales ever since.

Writing this from a small village between Cardiff and Bridgend. We live in a multi generational bungalow with DS DiL and two GC for about 6 months of the year, the rest is spent in Cyprus. Wouldn't change our time in Wales for anything. GC go to the village school and are teaching us Welsh. Love the country, love the people.

I love Wales, it's a magical country.

Lona, it is suppose to be magical, with our Druids, witches etc. We seemed to have every lake and mountain haunted by beautiful women, dogs, cats , not men though , unless you count Arthur sleeping in a cave , yes he is here as well as Glastonbury

We had a static caravan in N Wales for about 9 years and it was a very sad day for me when we had to give it up when my H's problems started. I spent such very happy times there. I just loved it.

We love Wales too any part suits us. My Mums family are from Sth Wales valleys and my sister lives near Tenby and a niece near Aberystwyth so we visit different parts for our trips , we've never visited Anglesey but keep promising we'll go maybe this year.

We visited Wales last year, just outside Conwy. It was beautiful. I also loved the fairground at Llandudno. It was just like fairgrounds I visited when I was younger. Lovely and very nostalgic.

Love Wales Annie
Have spent lovely holidays and weekends in North Wales
We have friends who live in Ogmore nr Bridgend .
Have also spent many a time with DH
zipping tootling round the welsh mountains on a motorbike .
Nice thread after some of the rhetoric on other Celtic threads

We visited Conway on the way back from Anglesey some years ago. In the process of trying to find a branch of our bank, we found The Tudor House. A very unprepossessing place from the outside but inside WOW! It's like the tardis, and similarly, it whisks you right back to the sixteenth century. I was blown away by it. Anyone been there?

Just driving back from there now annie. Mr C is Welsh, wonderful memories of holidays in the North and West. Very foggy right now on the motorway after a lovely sunny day.

Talking of Welsh voices, did anyone watch the series 'The Trip' and 'The Trip To Italy'
With Rob Bryden and Steve Coogan.Brilliant!
