Scramble Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 oh also, as for saying them, my best friend is from Southampton and moved here and started learning welsh, we all have to and she couldn't say 'fach' which means little but you use the back of your throat to say it and you really need a welsh kind of accent to say it, not that any of use have much of one as we all speak fluent english but anyway, I was her partner for our speaking test and her accent made it sound as if she was saying a very rude word! But she didn't realise until she said it out loud how it would really sound.... funniest welsh lesson ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I love Wales and the Welsh. We had holidays as a child in Llandudno and visited Betys- coed and went trout tickling. Lovely. Excuse spellings. stayed with lovely couple and learnt to say G'night and morning in Welsh. I can see you are all impressed. Would like to live in Dorset but at present in MIll Hill London and we have fields etc up the road and on the whole people are nice. originally from E Midlands and I miss the people and the accent so "Aye up me ducks" and see you later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Went to get some veg this morning in Whitchurch - popped into Hardy's Cottage Garden Plants - got carried away again. Lots more for the girls to chomp! I'm a bad influence because Mum bought some plants too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Sounds impossible to leave without buying something, you've been leading Mother astray! Not at all off topic there Koojie...straight from speaking Welsh, , to... random song ....to living in Wales ....to buying plants. Er, not that we have a topic, it just made me laugh, anything to keep this topic going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I love Wales and the Welsh. We had holidays as a child in Llandudno and visited Betys- coed and went trout tickling. Lovely. Excuse spellings. stayed with lovely couple and learnt to say G'night and morning in Welsh. So that would be "Bore da" and "Nos da" then nochucksyet! Well I don't know about elsewhere in the country, but its a glorious day in South Wales, and I have my friends coming over for dinner tonight (we have what we call "The Last Friday of the Month Club), always hosted at my house (as I haven't got children) and always a 3 course meal with menu choices. So just to make you all hungry, if you came to my house tonight you could have had: Starters Scallops with pea puree Cream of Tomato Soup or Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce Mains Salmon in Jack Daniels Marinade Pork Chop with Barbecue Sauce or Veggie Sausage Bake (All served with Potato wedges and Salad) Desserts Rhubarb Tart Butterscotch Cheesecake or Ice-Cream All are HomeMade. So what would you have had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanbb Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Sounds delicious. Please may I have...the scallops, followed by salmon and the rhubarb tart for afters. Thank-you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Slurrrrpppp! You mean I have to choose? Little bit of each????? Oink! OK, if I must then - asparagus for starts, the call of the alcofrol means I would have salmon and the butterscotch cheesecake sounds wonderful. Have you put that on the thread for all things nice? I know I digressed a little, OK fine, a lot! I just was rather pleased with my flowers for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheilaz Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 ....bother, I'd be too late for even just the cheesecake if I left now....Sounds wonderful Debs, please could you post the recipe in All Things Nice Section? Mmmmmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 That menu certainly sounds delicious Back to random topics - I've got a in my garden. It belongs to the family two doors down but they don't seem too bothered that it has gone under fences and has spent the day hanging out with The Grannies (chooks) in my garden evading capture It keeps nipping to the garden next door where it really will have peace and quiet as no-one lives there. Surely they should be more concerned that their rabbit is on the loose? Plus it keeps nibbling my petunias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
