Another great night with almost 20 people there including a couple of new starters having done lessons since September, needless to say they had SSiW thrust down their throats for half the night.
Iāve heard news of a field trip from Machynlleth coming on the 26th which Iām looking forward to.

There you go. What a great night.
Thanks to @BronwenLewis, @helenlindsay and @Isata for having the enthusiasm to travel so far just for a little chat in Welsh. I hope it was worth the effort.

Absolutely! Lovely place, great crowd (and I mean crowd) of exuberant Welsh speakers - what more could you want on a Monday night? Weāve put our names down for the Christmas party alreadyā¦

Wow, itās been ages since Iāve posted in here so, probably to most peopleās annoyance, Iām going to post again. I had quite a while off going because of a two week holiday and then loads of overtime covering other peopleās holidays but I ventured back last week and again this week.
Iām not sure if this bit would be better off in the āspreading the wordā thread but thereās a small group (3 people) who have decided to not go back to a classroom lesson (they really didnāt make the improvements they were hoping for) and are setting off down the SSiW route. Iām excited to see their progress over the next few weeks and months.
The group is really going from strength to strength and seems to be about 20 regulars now. Thereās always room for more though. Monday nights from 7:15 on. Turn up whenever, drink whatever, talk about whatever, leave whenever.

Last night there were another two new faces, one lady and her 18 week old baby. You see a different side of people when thereās a tiny human in the room, wonderful to see.
Also I had a chat with one of the newish starters, sheās been there a handful of times before but Iād never had a good chance for a one on one before. It turns out sheās been living on the same street as me for almost 3 years. THE SAME STREET! FOR 3 YEARS! I swear I go through life wearing a blindfold sometimes. Sheās up to challenge 6 and doing really well.
Happy times.

You know, given your distinctive facial adornment which appears in SSiW pics quite often, you are quite lucky that she did not come up to you and say, āHelo, dw i wedi gweld dy ar y Forum!ā
I am surprised that she didnāt say āHelo, dwi wedi dy weld di ar y stryd!ā given that I either walk or drive past her house every day and have done for the last 3 years.

Do you live in a town? It would be hard to imagine in a village in Wales!
No, in a village but I guess she doesnāt spend all day waiting by the window just to nose at who goes past.

in our village, the grape vine told who was moving in as soon as theyād made an offer on the house. They got lots of visits during move, offering sustenance and help with finding useful help - builder, hairdresser, etc. Invites to village festivities, meetings etcā¦! Oh, I just got friends dropping by, as i had been an honorary villager for years of staying with āauntieā!
Last night was really quite entertaining, maybe because there was actually less there, Iām guessing because of the weather. There was an impromptu game of eye-spy, a chat about 80s music among other things, and a lot of laughs.
Iām working nights for the next two weeks so Iām going to miss it, gutted.
Please call down if you are in the area, itās free.
