Hello @peterallen, I wanted to let you know that I am now responsible for writing the weekly email. I took over from Deborah last summer and I’m happy to keep sharing updates regarding your meet-ups. 
Just so that you know to tag me instead of Deborah, to ensure your updates always appear on time for me, and I don’t miss any of them. Diolch!
Will do, thanks Catrin.

Lovely walk in London starting by the graffiti tunnel in Waterloo, a stroll along the Thames, up past St Pauls, across to the Barbican and back over the bridge for a pint. Lovely to have seen everyone and hope others can join us next time. Hwyl, Peter

The next Llon-dain walk will be on the 9th June at 2.00pm so one to put in your diary. We are intending to return to South London with the current plan to start at Honor Oak Park Station which is on the Overground (Zone 3) and connects to Croydon in the south and Highbury and Islington in the north (with a direct connection with the Elizabeth Line). More details to come nearer the day. Hwyl, Peter @CatrinLliarJones

"Apologies to all who’ve requested to have news and announcements put in the weekly email, because our email system is still down unfortunately.
We’re working as hard as we can to get it up and running again, and as soon as it is we’ll let you know.
Diolch to you all for your patience."
S’mae pawb, I have just realised that our first Llon-dain walk was in May 2019 so our next one on the 9th June will be just over five years since the first one so, without planning it, it makes sense to return to South London where we first started. Anyway, the reason for the post is a reminder that we will be meeting outside Honor Oak Park Station in the sunshine at 2.00pm on the 9th June. Our walks take two to three hours with some of us having a drink in a local pub at the end. Hope to see the usual and the new. Hwyl, Peter @CatrinLliarJones

Sunday’s Llon-dain went well with a walk from Honor Oak through a wood, into a cemetery, up a lane called Donkey Alley, through Peckham Rye Park and into the Nun’s Head at the end. Another walk to be organised soon.

S’mae Pawb,
The next Llon-dain walk will be on Sunday the 18th August at 2.00pm. We haven’t a route yet but will provide details nearer the date. Our walks are up to five miles long and generally end in a pub for a quick drink.
One for your diary and looking forward to welcoming learners of any standard.
Hwyl,
Peter

Hi Peter, and thanks for being the organiser of what look like interesting walks and chats with fellow Welsh speaking enthusiasts .
I’ve lived in London, mainly SW6 for many years and have recently completed the SSiW Level 3 so I’m at the stage of not wanting to forget everything and needing to speak and practice as much as possible.
Your upcoming walk looks really interesting, please let me know where from and I hope to be able to join you and the team.
Diolch, Huw
Just keep an eye on this thread by tracking it. Haven’t decided on a route yet but will be relatively central to London. Hwyl, Peter
S’mae Pawb,
This Sunday is the next Llon-dain and we will be meeting at 2.00pm by Platform 3 in Paddington Station. We have done a walk from here before so may follow the same route but it will be about four miles and will end either back at Paddington or near another station.
Hopefully a number of you will be able to come and join us. Remember, Welsh of any standard is welcome. @CatrinLliarJones
Hwyl,
Peter
Hi, some additional details for our walk tomorrow. As above we shall start at Paddington and then walk through Hyde Park, Green Park and St James’ park crossing the river on the pedestrian footbridge next to the Charing X railway bridge to the South Bank complex and ending the journey in Waterloo or Blackfriars. This is about four miles in total. Hope to see you there. Hwyl, Peter
We had an easy walk on a lovely day through three of London’s largest and prettiest parks before having a quick drink in the South Bank Complex. Another one to be organised soon which should be in East London starting at Walthamstow. More details to come.

Thank you so much, Peter, for the lovely afternoon and keeping it ‘dim ond Cymraeg’! In relation to our next adventure, I am now thinking of setting off from Stratford, through the Olympic Park, then Vicky Park, down the Regent’s Canal to the Limehouse Basin and the River Thames, and then for a drink at the Star of the East on Commercial Road. Home from Westferry DLR or Canary Wharf. Beth ydych chi’n ei feddwl? Walter.

We could do the Stow another time, perhaps.

Dear all,
Our next walk will take place on Sunday, 03 November, in East London. Can we meet at 1:30 pm at Stratford, opposite the old shopping centre, at the bottom of the steps leading up to the new shopping centre, ‘Westfield’. I will try and post a picture of this location in a moment. You will find details of the walk above. It’s probably a good idea to wear weather-proof clothing and bring an umbrella, as we all know what early November weather can be like, but I hope we will enjoy some wonderful autumn foliage any which way. I might change the pub for refreshments at the end. I visited there a couple of weeks ago and it has changed a little from when I visited there a number of times in the 1980s when my brother lived just round the corner in Burdett Road. Although still lovely, they now show football matches etc. on a number of screens, which might distract from our Welsh conversation. I’ll let you know.
Thank you so much Peter and Richard for letting me be the guest host this time and look forward to seeing you all.
Walter
