Well I'm home a few fdays earlier than expected but it was nice to have a break in Cymru drinking plenty of Cwrw Haf (Summer Beer in English) in the hot Welsh sun - the Evan Evans one was the better pint all round for me. We stayed in the middle of nowhere with Lampeter the nearest town which is over three miles away so plenty of walks were in order. We also visited Llangrannog (again!) and stayed at the Pentre Arms, a pub in which Dylan Thomas was a very naughty boy!
It's amazing how being so remote replenishes the mind and body for the return to Hackney!
Has any English speaker who visits this blog ever learnt Welsh? If so was it difficult and what method/course did they use? I'm pondering learning......
Anyway my inbox was full of e-mails on my return and I hope to get through them over the coming week although why I was sent a Princess Superstar remix I will ever know.
In the meantime have I missed anything on the music front?
as a Welsh person - who was taught what little Welsh I know at school - it was a tough language to learn.
The London Welsh Centre on Grays Inn Road, near Kings Cross - apparently runs courses.

But it might only be for ex-pats. The Welsh can be a funny bunch sometimes. ;-)
