The Welsh Alphabet

For those following my Welsh lessons I thought I’d put up the Welsh alphabet. Deliberately posting this separately. The letter ‘J’ has crept in due to ‘borrowings’ from English. Note the double letters. So get to know your r,burr,eck. Which is how A,B and C are pronounced! [image] Any discussion on this won’t clutter the lesson feed.

St Davids Day 2023

[Who was St.David?!] ** Legend says St David was born in a storm on a Pembrokeshire clifftop in the year 500. These days you can find the ruins of Non’s Chapel there, named after his mother St Non. A holy well which people claim has special healing powers lies nearby. Taught by Paulinus, St David is said to have restored his teacher’s sight. Another tale recalls how St David addressed a congregation in a field in Llanddewi Brefi. The people at the back said they could not hear …

Wales - Eryri (Snowdonia): Almost 40 cars towed for illegal Easter parking on A5

Police have warned that illegal parking at a north Wales beauty spot will see more cars removed after almost 40 vehicles were towed at the start of the Easter break. [image] North Wales Police said parking on double yellow lines or obstructing roads in Eryri National Park - also known as Snowdonia - “risks lives”. The issue forced the A5 road to close on Friday. Large groups are expected to visit the area again across the weekend. Police are urging drivers to make use of the park and ride …

Wales - Rhos-on-Sea beach reopens with million tonnes of seabed sand

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-65219866 [image] A beach has reopened following an overhaul including about one million tonnes of sand from the seabed. The £14m project in Rhos-on-Sea, Conwy county, involved using a 1km pipe to bring in the sand from the seabed. It has prompted renewed calls for a sandy beach at nearby Llandudno, which has largely been covered in rocks as part of sea defences since 2014. The beach at Rhos-on-Sea opened in time for the Easter weekend after work began la…

Wales - Brecon Beacons: Park to use Welsh name Bannau Brycheiniog

Brecon Beacons National Park has announced that it will use its Welsh language name only in future. The switch - to Bannau Brycheiniog National Park - takes effect on Monday, its 66th anniversary. Park bosses said the change promotes the area’s culture and heritage, but the area MP said the English name could be kept alongside the Welsh. It is part of a wider overhaul of how the park is managed, to try and address serious environmental challenges. The Welsh name means “the peaks of Brychan’…

Wales: Yr Wyddfa AKA Snowdon: Beauty spot selfies 'adding to mountain pressures'

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3geglz0qy4o Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team said a rising trend of callouts at Yr Wyddfa, also known as Snowdon, could become unsustainable. Angela Jones, from Eryri National Park, also known as Snowdonia, said “social media has caused over capacity” at popular locations leading to issues including erosion, as well as pressure on car parks and rescue services. About 600,000 people climb the peak annually with the wider park seeing an influx since the Covid…
