Take a look around the site and also download a brochure and you may win one of twenty £250 Blacks Online vouchers. […]

Cymru66 Runs In Wales

Monday, July 2nd, 2007

Steve, our blogging comrade over at Cymru66, has apparently been on ‘home turf‘ recently.
In addition to relaxing at such places as Hay-on-Wye, Penarth, St.Fagans and Cardiff Bay, he’s also taken part in a 10k race in Llanelli (Steve’s a running nut - a bit like me, but he seems to have more will power!).

Arwen’s New Blog

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

Arwen, FW Moderator and FW Blog contributor, has started her own Welsh Language Blog: Adenydd Celtaidd.
An impressive feat considering that she’s not Welsh! She’s from California and already has an excellent command of our language - she puts me to shame.

The Urdd Begins Today!

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Speak Welsh? Don’t speak Welsh? Want your kids to learn the language and what it’s all about to be Welsh?
Then you may want to attend this year’s Eisteddfod Yr Urdd being held just outside Carmarthen at the Carmarthen Showgrounds this week. Loads of stuff for kids to do and, of course, all […]

You thought learning Welsh was hard, how about trying dolphin.

Something I wish I’d found!

Monday, May 7th, 2007

I imagine when the Charity worker in Bangor opened up a donated book to find not just a lithograph by Picasso, but a design by Matisse, it probably blew her away. I know it would me!
A mystery donor contributed the book, a copy of Le Ballet, ‘compiled’ in the 50’s. I’ll quote the […]
