the language of heaven

as you all know, welsh is the language of heaven.

it's a magical language that sounds beautiful, even when duffy is singing it.

it is pleasing to look at, even though it resembles a bad hand at scrabble.

here are a few snapshots from my recent trip to y fenni.

even a car park sign looks good in welsh.

ha ha ! look at the welsh word for 'display'... what a great word.

damn i've got to learn to speak at least a little bit of welsh.

wales is a fair trade nation

translates as...

mae cymru yn genedl fasnach deg

which i must admit, didn't go down too well with my spellcheck just then.

well i never knew that about abergavenny

did you ?

and here's another sign regarding the syrup making skills of the locals

i must admit, i saw nobody in abergavenny last sunday wearing periwigs.

lot's of baseball caps but no periwigs.

even the post office stamp machine held a strange fascination for me

when it's instructions were printed in welsh...

hmmm... at least the welsh for 'hour' looks like the way you pronounce it.

i wonder why there is no welsh word for 'post' ?

and why is 'get more' three words in welsh ?

i need to learn welsh.

another ceramic piece of welshness

nice rabbit.

i went to abergavenny castle. if you can guess what i bought in the gift shop

there i will give you £100 cash

i'll show you in another post soon, but basically it's something you wouldn't

expect to find in a castle gift shop.

what the what ?!

oh that's not nice.
memo to self... if an englishman invites you over for christmas dinner, don't go.








no idea what this means, i just love seeing welsh words.

and i'm going to start learning the language of heaven soon.
