About Me
- The Cwtch
- I live in the Welsh countryside, close to the sea and the mountains. I am a country girl but I love travelling and visiting London for inspiration and new ideas. I love fashion, colour, art, good books, old films, baking and photography. I dream of a sparkling home in the city and a cottage in the country.

The Time Where I Am
Wenglish
Although a lot of people in Wales don't speak Welsh, the influence the Welsh language has had on the way we speak is huge: we regularly use welsh words mixed in with our English vocabulary and our sentance structure is often governed by the way you would say things in Welsh. This mixture of a language is called Wenglish
Wenglish Word / phrase of the moment:
Let Loose: Acting in a wild manner; "Behave yourself, will you? - you're acting like as if you're let loose!"

As native-born English speaker, living in London, I am so glad that, at least potentially, the Welsh language will gain equal status with English, in Wales.
As the "International Year of Languages" comes to an end on 21st February, you may be interested in the contribution, made by the World Esperanto Association, to UNESCO's campaign for the protection of endangered languages.
The following declaration was made in favour of Esperanto, by UNESCO at its Paris HQ in December 2008. http://portal.unesco.org/culture/en/ev.php-URL_ID=38420&URL_DO=DO_PRINTPAGE&URL_SECTION=201.html
The commitment to the campaign to save endangered languages was made, by the World Esperanto Association at the United Nations' Geneva HQ in September.

beautiful photo! you can almost hear the silence of winter gazing at the mist... :)
What a magnificent view you have! I Love the countryside. I am living on the edge of the countryside, the forests bordering France and Switzerland I can see from our appartment window, but I am not quite "in it". Oh how I am dying to jump over that (invisible) fence and go full blown country living.
