Hi Silwa just wondering have you moved yet? If you have how are you liking it?
The Brits sounded like a great night, reading the report on it. Aled looked lovely all in black.

Hiya Kar
The Brits was indeed a great night and Aled was absolutely stunning in his black attire!!!! I found the night quite surreal in some ways and it wasn't til the orchestra struck up to the Four Seasons that it all hit me that I was actually there! It was an amazing evening! Aled's speach was fab! And getting to see and chat with him after was fab!!

The best birthday I have ever had!
I haven't moved yet and it's all getting very frustrating! Remind me never to move again! Lol!! We should be exchanging this week and so moving within the next few weeks!! I can't wait!! Very Happy

Ah to be amidst all that beautiful scenery!!

The boys are preparing for the new language by watching videos in Welsh! And of course we have Aled's songs sung in Welsh!! It is all very exciting!! Do you find yourself up that way at all? If so please feel free to pop in for a drink anytime! Hope all's well with you!

Oh well let me wish you good luck with the move then. I think whoever said it was one of the most stressful things you can do was right. It will be worth it in the end though.
It was a birthday to remember that's for sure. i saw it on the t.v but ofcourse you only see a small amount of it don't you. The boys will learn the new language without too much trouble I expect it's us old ones that find it hard Wink
