I have just had a wonderful week, immersed in Welsh all day and all evening. I probably had a few bits of Welsh in my dreams too!
This was the Wythnos Byw’n Gymraeg held in the Garth Newydd house in the heart of Lampeter, in Welsh-speaking mid Wales.
Nia Llywellyn, the organiser, gave herself heart and soul into making this a special experience for the group of 9, hailing from England, Wales, Sweden and Australia.
The group enjoyed teasing me about my constant glasses of what I insisted on calling llefrith, not llaeth, and we had a lot of fun and laughter generally.
We had interesting excursions and great experiences, visiting behind the scenes in a theatre, a pub quiz, Rugby Club, Choir rehearsal, crown green bowls, a Welsh chat group by the seaside, a school, cannot remember what else!
The activities will not be all the same each week, of course. Oh, I nearly forgot! A visit to the demonstration kitchen of TC chef Gareth Richards, where we whisked up some delicious cakes and puds.
All this in the friendly atmosphere of Garth Newydd, encouraged by Nia, and spending time - and money - in the shops of Lampeter.
Will I be back for a second taste?
You bet!
