Averil my friend is from Pontdardawe. I think that is how it is spelt. Do you know of it? She has lived there since she was small as her parents moved there from somewhere near London I think she said. Anyway if everyone in Wales is like her it would be a fun place lol. At the moment she is trying to teach some of us on chat to speak Welsh...an almost impossible task via a chat room. I think I will just stick to what I can speak.
Okay all you others if i can come here twice in one day surely you lot can turn up once in a while. Do i have to reach through and wake you all up? LOL Catch up next time. Bye all.

Welcome to Averil. I am Welsh too and welsh-speaking, but from the North - Portmadoc. I've lived in Cheshire since February last year when my husband died and I moved here as I have two daughters living here. I miss my native Wales and go back as often as I can - I have two other children still living there as well as a brother and two sisters and their families. Sorry to read that the chat-rooms didn't please you Faye. Sometimes it's better just to walk away, isn't it? I've been out to dinner at my youngest daughter's house this evening. It was really nice and she wanted me to stay the night. I declined because they get up so early at hers and I like my lie-ins. I am NOT a morning person at all. Also I like reading in bed and I hadn't taken my book with me. Speak to you all soon. x x

My gosh!!! i cant believe it is so long since I have been into here. Not the only one to by the look of it all.LOL...Maureen Welcome to the thread. We have been going for a long time but don't seem to be going far right now. No doubt everyone will be back very soon with it beginning to get cold in the Northern Hemisphere. After all, the computer is a good companion in the middle of Winter. I have the pleasure of being into Spring as of Sept.1st and the weather has been reasonably co-operative. We have had a couple of lovely days when I have contemplated some work in the garden then it has turned cool or started to shower a little...perhaps I shouldn't mention that g word until it is a bit more settled.
The chat site I belong to was going well and membership climbing then I had to open my mouth and ask for a new room for the ones that were doing a bit of heavy flirting in the Lobby which is the first room new people come to. It has always been a clean site and is now going down just because a few people object to what has been named "The Flirt room". Solution= re-name the room. In the process of doing that right now but they continue to use the Lobby in the meantime. However, my point is, whatever the name on the room will it not still be a flirt room to be used for flirting or do flirts need an audience which is why they continue in the Lobby. Anyway I have now given up on cleaning the room up and will let them just wallow and carry on til the site falls out of sight...The Titanic comes to mind here. I simply dont want to be a part of it all so gave up the chatroom and will now just be another member viewing profiles, writing letters and generally just being a friendly member who will communicate in another way. It is much better than going into a chatroom to be greeted by silence just because I was the one who asked the Admin. to get something done on behalf of those who complained to me. I sure arent no prude and enjoy fun like the next person but sometime even over 50's go over the top a bit.
Okay Ive had my rant and bored you all to death. I hope everyone is in full health and enjoying the last few rays of Summer or Winter depending on where in the world you are. Would everyone please come back very soon. After all this time I would hate to see this thread die and it would be nice to still be going when man begins to live on the moon. Robert, will that ever happen? Maybe not in our lifetime but I guess stranger things have happened in this world. Wishing everyone health and happiness. I do hope your lives are going well and I will catch up with you all next time. Bye for now to you all......xx

Welcome Maureen. Nice of you to join us here. I love Scotland. It is very similar to Wales but on a bigger scale - bigger lakes and higher mountains. I have been to Edinburgh several times and also been to Aviemore where we had a fire in the hotel in the middle of the night and had to be evacuated in our night clothes into the snow! Turned out to be a discarded cigarette that was smouldering in a settee on the landing so we were able to return before we froze to death. On that trip we went up the Cairngorms, partly by cable car and walked the rest, and we went to Fort William and stopped by Loch Ness but didn't see the monster much to the children's disappointment - they were little then! Tell us a little about yourself Maureen. I am addicted to watching Big Brother at the moment so it's quite an exciting night tonight as they are nominating housemates to be evicted. I know I'm sad!!! Speak to you soon.

Hello again. Nice to hear from you Faye. Have I frightenend everyone else away? I'm feeling sociable today, having just replied to two of my penfriends and talked on the phone to my 80 year old friend in Wales, so I thought I'd carry on and write my bit here. I have 5 penfriends (all British) but one of them is now suffering with dementia and hasn't written for a while. When I phone him, he doesn't know who I am so there's no point. Sad really, considering we've been friends for about 15 years. Have been buying my American dollars today. Will be going to Florida in less than 4 weeks. I should have bought them earlier when the rate was better, but I didn't know they were going to fall. My youngest daughter, who's 25, has just announced that she is expecting her third child. That will make my total of grandchildren 17, and I have four great-grandchildren. Christmas doesn't come cheap any more - in fact I have to prepare for it all year round. Have done about half of my Christmas shop so far. Hope you're all keeping well and I look forward to reading all your news. Bye for now.
