It is a big deal for me, Suzanne. Wills and Kate are lovely, so is George North. What I would call A list celebs.

And you are lucky enough to see them and meet them, so that makes you A list in my book.

My wife's nain (Elizabeth Owen 1879-1967) was brought up on Caenewydd farm, Pencaenewydd. In the "big house" next door, Clough Williams Ellis was born and brought up. And she knew so many famous people through Eifionydd roots - a lifelong friend was Sir Ifan ab Owen Edwards, who established the Welsh League of Youth ("Urdd") :-D :-D

dont do the big welsh language thing John,think welsh parents should teach their children the old language if they wont the welsh to continue in our future lives,,my husband is welsh speaking,he wasnt bothered about our children speaking welsh,he was more bothered about them having a good education,they are all going to leave anglesey at one time because wr have no work here,i sent my children to welsh schools ,they all speak welsh,it wasnt up to my welsh speaking husband,it was because his scouse wife thought it was the best thing for our children :-D

Never regretted putting a bit of effort into Welsh. Even if only for the fact it sounds more poetic and Welsh poetry and songs sound so fantastic. Your children (wherever they work and live) will become more and more grateful that they know Welsh and have learned something of the culture. And Liverpool roots will keep them grounded and with an excellent sense of humour

Watched the rugby match today on S4C in Welsh instead of BBC2 English commentary. Jonathan whining away on BBC2. On S4C you felt almost a part of the game. Even though we lost pretty heavily, the commentators were so enthusiastic from start to finish. :-D

hubby just got in,hes in a terrible mood,his beloved wales lost,never mind,we all lose sometimes :-D

my children love the fact that they are fluent welsh speakers and their mum is a scouser(i speak welsh as well(but not very well). dad who is welsh,is more bothered that they get a good education,(they have had good schooling) but welsh people believe that welsh is dying because of incomers to wales,im a incomerbut ive taught my children welsh,and my welsh speaking husband didnt,so really can you blame english speaking incomers for the language dying??? think its up to the welsh speakers to keep the welshj language going and not to blame english people for the death of the lauguage,when its really the job of the welsh parent to teach and not to blame. :-D
