I've tried to learn Irish, but I get confused - too old to learn new tricks, I suppose!Dragonstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935435587527038459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-12389325438338640672008-06-25T17:50:00.000+01:002008-06-25T17:50:00.000+01:00I live in Chester which is virtually on the Welsh ...I live in Chester which is virtually on the Welsh border, and you do hear the Welsh language quite a lot in the city centre. I love listening, as they are sometimes a bit short of Welsh words & come out with something incongruous in the middle of a sentence, like 'helicopter' or 'laptop'.<BR/><BR/>Great W!HappyMouffetardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157145094611234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-70795867898186566972008-06-25T14:38:00.000+01:002008-06-25T14:38:00.000+01:00Well how intesting...

Like some of your other readers, I love language, and enjoyed learning something about Welsh. I didn't realize that it was still spoken that much in Wales. <BR/>I do so want to visit the UK and visit all the different areas this time. In the meantime, I enjoy taking a tour of the countryside through your posts.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-45469421947485460202008-06-25T13:29:00.000+01:002008-06-25T13:29:00.000+01:00Thanks for the interesting information about Wales...Thanks for the interesting information about Wales. Wales is indeed a different country. We felt at home as in the rest of the UK, but we could pronounce the LL sound as we have the same sound in Holland. Wales has also a lot of great singers and choirs.Reader Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384603525251159272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-65333244225072801042008-06-25T10:07:00.000+01:002008-06-25T10:07:00.000+01:00I fully understand how your choice for W changed a...I fully understand how your choice for W changed at the last minute...happens all the time to me.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for your comment re Family Stuff!

I love how words came to be, their origins and so on. Place names and peoples names fascinate me too. My own name is Greek for 'life'.<BR/><BR/>It is fascinating to find out more, and I think it makes the places we stay more interesting to find out.

There is a place in Somerset called The Leg of Lamb Lane, and another called the mutton place.<BR/><BR/>Bakers Street? Wonder where that came from!!! LOL.<BR/><BR/>Cornwall is the same, as Wales with the names meaning things. Surnames as well, Taylor, Smith. As you can tell I could wax lyrical about this for hours!!!<BR/><BR/>Love the postSolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00809314184012834659noreply@blogger.com
