Speak Welsh? Don’t speak Welsh? Want your kids to learn the language and what it’s all about to be Welsh?

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. Now, normally I try to avoid writing about depressing stuff - what’s the point, we all have our problems, why bring everybody down with depressing dissertations. But I have to say that whoever […]

And a reminder - did you vote for your favorite Welsh city yet? I admit to switching from Swansea to Cardiff because Cardiff stands a good chance of making the board at this point. I’d encourage everyone to do the same as the other Welsh cities are well down in the pack. […]
