Arwen, FW Moderator and FW Blog contributor, has started her own Welsh Language Blog: Adenydd Celtaidd.

And I won’t tell you I’m not horridly jealous - because I am! Lucky Shana Sammons, a fellow Californian, has now earned her British citizenship after living in Wales for a few years. More power to her and I hope I’ll be standing in that spot one day very soon! Da Iawn […]

Having found myself unable to get the monopoly site to work, I found myself reading the BBC news alerts instead.
