Post party Chat (including Tatjana appreciation)

I’m not sure but I believe what @CatrinLliarJones had in mind is to put photos somewhere where one could play a slideshow to watch them. At least that’s what I’d imagine it to be. Google photo, Dropbox or Flickr offers just that but what I’ve remembered about Flickr is that I’m not sure they actually offer the space for free. PhotoBucket could be the option too, but the sad thing is that they don’t offer third party sharing without paying so … no this one can’t go in.

It’s all been said already but just wanted to add my heartfelt (not heartless :joy:) thanks here to all involved in organising such an incredible weekend. It was lovely to catch up with folk I knew already, to put faces to names I’ve seen on the forum for years and to make some new friends. I even discovered that Cat used to live in my village and heard about Huw’s Nia Parry obsession! :joy:The food was delicious, the music fantastic, the special guests inspiring and so many special touches with a lot of thought to detail.Thank you also to Siaron for the poppy seeds (they’re going in our caravan garden in Pen Llyn), the harpist in the foyer and to Tatjana for her amazing finale video. Yes it’s stuck in my head now too :joy: I also have to say what a joy it was to see all the children enjoying themselves so much and being a credit to their parents.
Diolch o waelod calon i Catrin, Aran a’r teulu SSIW i gyd.
Edrych ymlaen at y 10 blwyddyn nesa!! :grin: xx

You might be right, @tatjana, in which case I’d be happy to host it on my own Google Photos.
I’ve pm-ed you a link. Would you be kind enough to try to upload a few photos to see if it does the job before I post the link here?

It’s quite a lot. 120+. They were booked this year, but…

Do we have to wait until 20? Why’s everyone ignoring 15?

Or 12?

@tatjana - !!! Methu dweud diolch yn ddigon! It was very lovely to see you in full-on positive go-for-it mode again, and I hope it’s helped make you realise how very, very far you’ve travelled… :slight_smile: :star: :star2:

It seems to work for me Huw. :slight_smile:

But did you need to sign in with google account, facebook id, etc?
edit: Here’s Tatjana’s explanation:

I believe the problem is in the sharing. You have to put album to be publickly shared but this probably means it could be viewed elswhere on the net also. But to upload the photos you probably have to be signed in though. But this is probably the case with all photo sharing pages though.

Here’s the link again for people to view or upload without or with signing in

I have a google account so it loaded automatically on my phone. I wasn’t asked to sign in. x

I’ve signed out of google acount and tried your link Huw. It works at least to veiw the photos. I’m exploring further. But … I’m at the computer at the moment though. I can also see freshly uploaded photos from Catrin so it might work anyway.

And there might be not so small amount of people who have Google acount to this realyl shouldn’t be a problem. Everyone who has the YouTube channel has Google acount too.

Clicking further I could establish that you can view the photos but clicking on the “Add to album” requires signing in.

Photos can be dowlnoaded also what I’m not sure if you want to renable at lreast not if you’re not signed in.

So, this is my part of testing :slight_smile:

I’ve just dumped a whole load of photos in there and realised I took a lot of selfies with different people, so you’re going to get sick of seeing my cheesy, Prosecco fuelled smile soon… :rofl:

Lovely photos, Catrin.:+1: Our selfie was Maureen’s first chance to see me in a bow tie for about 30 years :laughing:

Thank you! I’m honoured I could do this for you all!

Thank you @aran. Yes I’ve travelled a long way - from Slovenia to Wales and back :slight_smile:
On the sirious note … this journey wouldn’t be possible without all of you. Every single member has put a little piece of mosaic into the path I’ve walked and my journey continues. There’s only 5 lessons to go to finish the level 3 and the whole south material with this. Next challenges are in plan but not too good shaped yet.

Diolch o weldo galon i chi gid. Dw i’n hapus a fach iawn!

Da iawn! Hapus ydw i yn helpu eto! :slight_smile:

Any suggestions for good poppy growing? For some reason I can’t seem to grow Welsh poppies despite previous attempts. Diolch

@tatjana, Beth yw ‘ear worm’ in Slovenian?! :grin:.

I’ve been driving my other half around the bend for most of this evening, absent mindedly singing the chorus of y Rap penblwydd! He’s threatening divorce but I’m sure he’ll come to like it if dwi’n cario ymlaen yn ganu e! :joy:

All the heartless people,
Where DO they all come from?

Well, this Fforum keeps telling me I’m all out of hearts…

What do I have to do to get a bigger allowance?

Funnily enough i took the chance to ask Meinir what soil,where etc (yes we are on first name terms now, as people in this whole scene are all just so lovely) as, of course, she has her gardening programme on S4C. And it’s not much help, but she said “Anywhere, they just grow anywhere!”

My only experience of growing wild flowers is in work (highways). But strangely, they tend to like rougher, less well cultivated and less rich soils. So they will grow in soil that wont support posh flowers. :sunglasses:

Diolch yn fawr, Tatjana, for giving us that wonderful gift that brought a great celebration to a fitting end!
I can’t be the only one who can’t get the lyrics and the rhythms out of my head and long may they stay there!

And diolch o galon, too, to everybody who organised the best birthday party that I’ve ever been to!

Hi, me again. Just to record a massive thank you to Aran, Catrin and the many others who took part in organising and made this such a lovely and memorable weekend.

Also thanks to fellow guests and the townspeople of Caernarfon, Bangor and the surrounding settlements who made us feel so welcome.
