Oxford Welsh learners group

Hi Bethan,
I was really enjoying that, but BT had other ideas. My broadband went out - red light on the router. It seems to be more or less OK now.
Hwyl, Sue

Is anyone else finding a message “Sorry! We’re currently doing some essential maintenance on SaySomethingin.com” when they try to get to the forum? Luckily I still have an e-mail with a link to here, so I can get in that way.
Sue

I’ve rejoined if you want to continue !

I’ve given up and shut the laptop off. Also the router seems a bit undecided. Sometimes OK, sometimes not. I look forward to seeing you on Zoom on Friday. Meanwhile I hope that the plumber does his stuff well.

Very nice too! And I’m feeling slightly ashamed to say I don’t know where those photos were taken :slightly_frowning_face:

Good luck with finding someone to have a sgwrs with!

That looks wonderful. I do hope that your weather is better than ours.

The first picture is the north Anglesey coast near the ruins of the hen gwaith brics at Porth Wen. The second one is Beaumaris in a gloomy light…

Yes for once it seems that the weather was better on Anglesey than it was in Oxford.

Diolch Chris - I should have recognised Beaumaris, at least :roll_eyes:
One of the S4C’s Cynefin series focused on Amlwch and they took a boat from there to have a look at the Porth Wen brickworks from the sea - worth a look if the series is available on S4C Clic. If you happen to be in Amlwch again, the butcher there speaks Welsh and happy to speak to learners. He was very happy to chat with a group of us on a trip to Ynys Môn from Nant Gwrtheyrn - he even invited us into his house next door to see an old sheet of copper from the Mynydd Parys which had been retrieved from a copper-bottomed a ship. :slightly_smiling_face:

We were in/on Ynys Môn last week too. The most Welsh I managed was saying diolch yn fawr to the lady in Oriel Môn! I did have a talk to her in English about being a Welsh learner though. So good to hear and see lots of functional Welsh even though my own learning is araf iawn!

I am hoping to be there - but the laptop shows no sign of obliging yet.

This is bad. I have been watching a little ring of dots going round for the best part of 15 min now and Windows shows no sign of starting. Sorry!
