If of its people, then little wonder that Scotland and Ireland are more 'noticed' than we Welsh.
IMHO, by and large we have cloaked ourselves…"
John Berry replied to John Berry's discussion The "Image" of Wales"I'm with you on that, although I felt truly welcomed last summer in North Wales, on a deeper level than the rather superficial American treatment. I found the south a little less warm a few years ago, but I spent most of the time in Cardiff…"

Graham Williams replied to John Berry's discussion The "Image" of Wales"John: I've gained a valuable insight from the replies that I received to a blog that I started as a consequence of this conversation. To summarise, it boils down to emphasising what doesn't exist in the USA and talking…"

Those are lovely photographs, too, and one tough person…"
Graham Williams replied to John Berry's discussion The "Image" of Wales"I've got to say, the 'Chinese query' tickled me pink! I absolutely agree with your observations and this subject is one that I often find myself ranting about whenever we go abroad. I recently started trying to capture…"
John Berry commented on gaabi's blog post Calling all members! I want your opinions!"I'm all in favor, but I hope you realize how much work it will be. One suggestion would be to take things from the various threads on Ameericymru (walks, placenames, etc., and gather them into one place."
John Berry commented on Ceri Shaw's group 2012 West Coast Eisteddfod Online Poetry Competition"Very funny thing, though - when I go back to the link you sent (where I re-posted), I can't see anything there. Can you explain?
Diolch."
John Berry commented on Ceri Shaw's group 2012 West Coast Eisteddfod Online Poetry Competition"Diolch, Ceri.
I've reposted at the link you sent - I hope it's in the right place now. I hope the two other people also re-post.
