I am part Welsh on both sides of my family and have always been proud of the fact. My darling grandmother spoke Welsh as her first language and I have memories of her talking to me in her lovely soft voice and not being able to understand a word she said some of the time. Apart from a few words she taught me like
nos da- goodnight
bore da- good morning
cariad= sweetheart
When I stayed with her she lay next to me on the bed and counted sheep as I tried to get to sleep
un, dau, tri
I may not have been born in Wales but a part of my heart belongs to the Land of my fathers so Happy St David's Day everyone.
