ReplyDeleteHappy St. David's Day and glad to see you're teaching your students Welsh (British) culture, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, cherrypie.
ReplyDeleteHi, Leslie. I've never believed that you can teach the language in isolation from its culture and I believe cultural knowledge makes it interesting.
ReplyDeleteThey tower over you, don't they?

ReplyDeleteHappy (belated) St. David`s Day Welshcakes:
ReplyDeleteGreetings from one with a Welsh Grandpa and half Jewish Granmama. Not sure what that makes me, mind !
We love Wales and have lots of holidays there. Once stayed at a place called Cwm Ivy Farm on the Gower Peninsula. It was run by a lovely,rather quirky, Welsh lady. She had several different Bronze Sculptures in the gardens surrounding the 'Holiday Lets;. One was of a life sized horse; Heaven knows how it was put into place.
Anyway after that trivial piece of info. Happy Belated Greetings, my friend.xx
Di.xx
Love to Simi too.xx
Manhy thanks, Trubes. I'm just imagining that horse - I love your "little tales" ! Love to you and Chloe from Simi and me xxxx
