I tried very hard to enjoy my Welsh ancestry. Learning
the language is an ongoing process. I finally deleted all
participation in online Welsh groups as the nasty socialists
perpetually injected language too foul to be on my
Facebook news feed or timeline. It’s my ancestry not my
heritage. I’ve traveled to Wales many times. Not real
interested in doing that again.
I am so sorry to hear that Myrddin, especially when you made such an effort. Remember, the vast majority of Welsh people do not speak Welsh either.
Don’t let the small-minded nationalists get you down. Like many left-wingers they are full of sound and fury and do not represent us all, but like to think they do.
If you ever return to Wales and stray into the Gwent/Monmouthshire area, I’d be delighted to show you an example of the hospitality of the Welsh (I work at a large historic property).
Keep that dragon’s fire burning!
