gongladosh Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 We should all go for a compromise - all kids in Britain should learn Welsh swearwords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I know how to swear in about 5 different languages I also know how to say, I understood what you just said, in 3 different languages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 We always wanted to move to Wales but DH has found that because he works in sales and can't speak Welsh he has no chance. Which is fair enough, if we moved to France we would be expected to speak French My parents have a house, and will be living in Mid Wales when they move back from overseas. They are retired though so no need for the language even though they both have a basic grasp. Mum had lessons and Dad went to Welsh speakng school. I can't wait take the children and spend long summers with them and a jaleous of anyone who does get to move there. It is our retirement plan too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Well, We have had an offer accepted on a small cottage with 4 acres (1 acre garden and 3 acres of wildflower meadow/pond/veggie garden It's 10 miles from the coast at Aberaeron. Hopefully we should be in end July which gives us time to re-carpet possibly and repaint where needed before we get the furniture out of store. That will leave the chooks to move and finally the bees when the supers come off. Phew....wish us luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lillybettybabs Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I'm welsh and would love to move back as we could get so much more house and land for or money But employment hasn't been great there for the past few year and with OH having two sons we decided to wait until the oldest was at uni before going for it. I think middle - South is more affluent than north( or it was) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
