3. Where is Guy Fawkes in this list?

Doesn’t he count?

And John Crapper? I’d celebrate that day lol!

[cwydro]

4. Oh never mind.

Guy Fawkes is next month.

But I still think good old John Crapper should have a holiday.

12. I'm not sure that is his birthday...

It's when he tried to blow up Parliament.

[geardaddy]

5. LOL

I don't know! I though Guy Fawkes Day was Nov. 5.

[cwydro]

6. Yes, I think it is too.

My mom and dad and some friends used to sit around with drinks, laughing as they chose new holidays.

My mom, who was Welsh, always reminded me of St. David’s.

7. Iechyd da!

Dw i'n gwybod dy fod dy llysenw yn Gymraeg
(I know your nickname is Welsh)

but shouldn't it be crwydro (to roam) or did you mean it to mean vomit?

[cwydro]

8. Lol, no, when I registered it with DU, I spelled it wrong.

I tried to change it, but to no avail.

Yes, it was “to roam” or wanderer.

I’d had a few too many that night. Still irks me.

All my family is in Wales. Pembrokeshire. My mother died in February, and I hope to go over soon. Haven’t been there in years.

I’d love to move for good. Dual citizenship.

[geardaddy]

9. Me too. I'd love to move there.

My grandmother's family was from Port Talbot and used to go to Welsh services in Scranton, PA. I have her Welsh hymnal. I went to Bangor for about three months and took an intensive language course.

10. My mother never spoke Welsh, but she sure could interpret it.

She always said her grandmother spoke it, but not her mother.

I’ve never thought about taking a language course; I’d love to do that. Lol, wonder if Babble has Welsh?

[geardaddy]

13. Babbel doesn't have it. Try Duolingo.
