I wouldn't have thought that happens in anywhere other than Welsh speaking areas. Even then I would have expected there be a choice of English speaking schools.
I mean most of Wales is a Welsh speaking area, it’s their national language. But either way, the areas in Wales we’d be looking at would likely have one school and it will be a Welsh Medium school so no harm in learning a bit. I’d never want to be someone who goes to another country and demands everyone else speaks to me in English.
It's great for the brain development to hear different languages. My kids are so old. I used to play videos of a French cartoon called muzzy to them.
Has anyone heard anything about the lotto doing the £25 off days out again this year, or do we recon it wont be happening with it being taken over by a different company?
I dont know just bumping for those who only read last page

Used to play board games with the grandkids, used to count the spaces in lots of different languages even if we had to look them up lol. The kids decided what language and it carried on from there.
What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
Here in mid Wales we have Welsh schools & also mixed language schools
Everyone learns Welsh here but it isn't spoken as a first language
North Wales is very Welsh It was lovely watching Keith Brymer Jones learning the language on his programme 😊
Croeso 😊
We encountered a school class when we went dragon hunting near snowdon last summer, at that point we only knew bore da but the teacher spoke to the class in welsh and they replied in same and their littles tried to speak to our littles in welsh but we weren’t prolific other than greetings and Caru canu songs
We’re off to west wales this summer so we’ll get a chance to practice.
The littles are fascinated by language, symbolism, non verbal communication, animal communication and all the ways people and animals communicate their needs so we’ve also had a chance to see how to communicate with their father who has only one functioning ear and how to gain his attention in a positive way

My OH is worried about my interest in p*rn.
He usually falls asleep about 10 pm on the sofa, so I take the opportunity to watch things I know he won't like. I was watching Lost boys and fairies..... he woke up just as the orgy began. He stood up, expressed his disapproval at me watching gay porn and went to bed without saying a word 😁
A friend recommended watching Bridgerton..... so I thought I'd listen to the audio book whilst I was painting. OH said it's pornagraphic and left the room (he may have a point as I thought it was rather funny mummy porn)

I think he's turning into a prude!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My Mother watched it 😳 Only comment was it a shame the boy died 😳

I've not seen the TV program, but I will watch it after I've listened to the audio books.
I have to admit, I nearly turned the book off as the person reading it had a false, high-pitched voice.... but the reason for this quickly became evident. It really was hilarious 😂

Sorry I'm not keeping up at the moment but yesterday was a brilliant day and so far we have raised £1675. Thanks so much to everyone from here who donated your generosity has blown me away.

I grew up in South Wales. I didn’t know anyone that spoke welsh as their first language, other than a couple of welsh teachers at my school. In fact, I didn’t know anyone else who spoke welsh fluently. If you were out and about, you’d only overhear welsh being spoken by about 5-10% of the population. We had to learn welsh in school up to year 9, but it was only taught as you would learn French/ Spanish in a school in England. Nobody came away being able to speak very confidently and the general view was that if you were choosing a useful language to learn, it wouldn’t be welsh.
I know the picture is very different in North Wales, where welsh is spoken more commonly.
Not a cloud in the sky and the outside thermo is already reading 24 degrees at 8.30am so it is going to be a very hot one today!
Went for a very early walk while the day was all cool and fresh and that was really enjoyable. I'm not a lover of excessive heat, and I really hate the humidity that usually accompanies it, so will be staying in the cool areas as much as I can. Fans at the ready
Take care everyone, keep cool if you can, and have a lovely day.
Got up at 6 intending to walk dogs. By the time I had fussed about it was 8am, went outside and thought too hot for dogs already, so no walkies today. One day wont hurt them and they can go in and out to back garden, which has plenty of shade.
A comfortable 19 degrees with bit of cloud in the Brecon hills today. Sat outside drinking a cuppa after a very hot and sticky night in the cottage. 😬
Forecast does say 26 degrees later with bit cloud so hopefully won’t feel quite as strong as yesterday. I don’t think we have ever been to Wales when it hasn’t rained. 🫣
Good morning! Dogwalk completed, partly in shade 🐕🦺🐕🦺👍. It is now 23C outside🥵. We are off for a drive thru the Cotswolds 😎. Have drawn all curtains inside which keeps the house fairly cool.
Was lying in sun in garden the other day, listening to radio thru phone and earphones. Got warning on phone, saying it was overheating and it stopped working! Put it in fridge for a few minutes and it came back to life, bit scary! This was an iphone, so beware 🤪.
Hope everyone has a good day, 🫶🫶🫶 to those who want or need one.

My iPhone has a habit of doing that too. On a summer evening I have to leave it on an ice pack with a fan in order for it to charge. Mind you I’d rather it switched off than caught fire.
26c here on the other side of the Cotswolds already so doors and windows shut and the fans going. Chippy tea tonight from the TooGoodToGo app so hopefully it’s enough that we can top it up with some cold cuts and salad and make a meal for five. Of course this week I would have to have both big boys off work expecting three full meals a day 😂
