Another Newbie

Hi Terrier welcome to g c.

 

Thanks LoL! Do you know the Wrexham area?

 

Hi there, RavenMAd ... no, I'm from the Valleys ... Pontypridd. A right Welsh lass but widely travelled. Some say I have a hint of Welsh sounding in me ... but I can't hear it ... more Buckinghamshire I'm afraid ... but luckily the Brooklyn accent has gone ........

 

Hey. If we're bragging about ethnic origin, I want everyone to know that my maternal grandfather was Welsh (He was a Llewellyn). My paternal grandmother was from Edinburgh (She was a Stephenson). My paternal grandfather was a Yorkshireman. (He was a *****) and my maternal grandmother was a cocker spaniel. (She won best of breed at Crufts in 1910). :(

 

Welcome Terrier, to our (not so small now) forum.

I have fond memories of a holiday Pontypridd LoL- german measles at 7 years old. :(

 

LoL might not, but I do.... didn't live there, but had to take son for college interviews there, and have been to several Bluegrass events in thearea, including at the Rugby Club!

 

My OH dosn't have a Welsh accent until she's talking to 'her people' on the 'phone, and then the accent is unmistakable and her being a Welsh speaker.

 

Hey, Sarraceniac, have you still got the Crufts medal? Might be worth something.

 

Sorry you got ill in my birthplace, strongy. :eek:

terrier, I can't speak Welsh so only He knows why I can come up with an accent having left when I was two ... ???????

Well, John, what do I say about you ... nada ...

 

Hi terrier and a warm, if belated, welcome from me too. I see that you have met my Kid Sis already.
