If your goal is to become fluent in Cymraeg, what one thing are you looking forward to being able do when you get there?
Be able to provide live translation into English at the Eisteddfod Genedlaethol.
What are your favourite pizza toppings?
Pepperoni, pineapple, spicy mince, and tomatoes. But not all at once.

Working on Saturday and church on Sunday.
Your dream job is… ?
Ice-road Trucker. I want to drive the Dalton Highway.
If you could re-live one memorable holiday, which holiday would that be and why?
Schleiden, Germany, Easter 1976. Two weeks of being compére for (all in German and I was told by the audiences I had a very genuine German accent, which was all down to our lovely teacher, Mrs. Lewis), and singing in, our school choir, Ysgol Uwchradd Tywyn. (I’m convinced our school had an English name as well but I can’t remember what it was.) The reason? Meinir Williams sang a solo during Easter Mass and when she had finished there wasn’t a dry eye in the cathedral audience. OR the choir. I’d love to hear her again.

mungy: to write songs in welsh, that don’t involve liking red cheese.
