Covering the language’s history, grammar, dialects and more, the Wiki section on Welsh is quite an eye-opener.  Even if you come from Wales or live here, there’s still a great deal which you can learn from 10 minutes reading Wiki’s notes.
If Welsh is […]

I’m finally getting around to reading my backlog of National Geographic magazines.  I’ve plucked January 2005’s issue out of the stack and have just been reading about coffee - “the world’s most popular psychoactive drug“.
As usual, the photography accompanying the article is outstanding.  Take a trip to the National Geographic website to see some of […]
