Welcome! from the south Texas coast...from another quilter descended from Welch ancestors...I have visited your beautiful countryside several times.
I love the meat pasties. But the best is the wonderful hospitality and laughter that is in the hearts of the Welch!
One nice memory... while strugling to pronounce all the letters in the names of some of the towns, the train conductor laughed and said to me: "Dearie, you are doing much better than you think...Americans can pronounce Welch names much better than the english ever can! Their accent gets in their way, and its their counry, but don't tell anybody I said so!"
...and the singing...our family loved to sing!

I took Welsh lessons back in 1996 so it's been a while. Please forgive me if my Welsh is not good. It's a very difficult language to learn. My folks always spoke Welsh when they didn't want us to know what they were talking about. So, needless to say, they never taught us to speak it. LOL
Yes, this Board is addicting.
