Hi! I’m coming to Wales in a week, and I’m going to spend the first three days in and near Cardiff. So, would anyone like to meet up for a chat?
I’ll be arriving on Friday the 14th, but will probably be going straight to Barry. So I will mostly be free on Saturday and Sunday (15th&16th). I’m not completely sure about my plans on those days yet! Probably more busy on Sunday than Saturday.
Shwmae @Novem!
I live in Barry and work in Cardiff.
Also, I finish work for a week on the 14th as I have my mam staying in Barry Island for a week.
I spoke to @Karla recently on Facebook about a possible meet up while she visits Cymru, but nothing concrete planned as of yet. If you (and others) are free between the 14th and the 22nd (preferable in the evening as the days will be spent with my non-Cymraeg speaking mam), I would be happy to meet with you also.
Absolutely! If @Karla replies beforehand with when she’s available then happy days. Otherwise, I would be more than happy to arrange a meet with you for when you’re here!
I guess @Novem is likely to just crash here on Friday night, although I’ll leave that up to her!
I’m not around on Saturday during the day at all so I guess that’s her obvious day for going to Cardiff.
We hadn’t arranged anything specific for Sunday morning, as one of the kids will be at ballet. But I was planning a trip to St Fagans in the afternoon with another Welsh speaking family. Anyone who would like to join would be very welcome of course!
We could always have a Barry meet up one evening too. Or people would be very welcome to drop in here any time in the house or garden if the weather’s nice.
Hey @Novem and @faithless78, a group meet up sounds great! As of now, I have nothing concrete planned for that week, so I’m happy to work around the both of you.
Hey @Karla, are you arriving at Cardiff airport at 9 am on Sunday? That’s only 10 mins from our house, so we could pick you up and bring you back here to join in if you like! (I don’t know what sort of a journey you will have behind you so you might prefer a less full-on start!)
Otherwise, people might meet on Sunday evening. Barry Island would be nice in nice weather - what do you think, @faithless78? (I’m likely to be busy looking after kids on Sunday night, but could probably pop over for a bit.)
Great, what fun! I’ll PM you my phone numbers - best to send a message when you land then we’ll probably pick you up from the meeting point outside arrivals to save parking.
I was planning on doing early Sunday lunch after ballet finishes at 12 then heading off to St Fagans. Do you both like roast chicken or shall we have a veggie option too?
Sat 15th and Sun 16th there is an event in Pontypridd (about 20 mins up the road from Cardiff) called “Parti Ponty” which is a Welsh Language affair with stands, bands and events - if you’re in the area!
