Welsh Tartans

04/16/10 10:20:30PM, by Howard Evans

In a continuing effort to establish a Welsh Celtic identification, the Welsh Woolen Industry has introduced family and some general purpose tartans. The wool is from sheep grown in Wales, the material is woven in Wales, and the products are produced in Wales.The Welsh may or may not have a tradition of tartans and Kilts depending on your perspective and acceptance of the discussion of the arguments for both sides of the question. It can also be noted that the Irish did not have the tradition...

Welsh fortune-tellers

04/05/11 11:07:14AM, by Gaynor Madoc Leonard

I'm reading Giles Tremlett's biography of Catherine of Aragon at the moment in which he states the following (when she went to join Prince Arthur, her then husband, at Ludlow Castle, where he oversaw the Welsh Marches):"If Catherine knew anything at all about the Welsh before she arrived in Ludlow, it would have been what Ayala had written to her parents a few years before she set sail. He warned that the Welsh were renowned fortune-tellers. He drew comparisons with Spain's own, supposedly...

Welsh soul food

05/29/11 02:44:33PM, by m.c. chuka

I'm really new to exploring the culture of my Welsh (or is it more appropriate to say Cymru?) ancestors. My husband, who is Italian and Cuban, has a familial history of incredible recipes. I'm wondering what kind of cuisine the Welsh consider comfort food? Hopefully it's something I can try to make at home from ingredients I can find in Florida.

Welsh Dragon Tattoo

08/06/09 03:54:21PM, by Chad Davis

I'm thinking about having a Welsh Dragon tattooed on my arm. I've never had a tat before and this is one of those 'I'm turn 40 and I'm fighting it' type of things. Anyway, I want to put it on my right arm and the artist tells me that the dragon should be facing forward. This would require him to flip the image from the way it is usually displayed. My question is, by 'flipping' the dragon does this present any negative cultural implication? Having never visited Wales (yet) I don't want to do...

We'll be heading back to visit family in New York later this month and wondered if anybody had any good recommendations for a Welsh pint or bite to eat in any of the boroughs.

Welsh boat names

12/30/10 02:07:04AM, by Gregg Watts

I purchased a wooden kayak and would like to personalize it with a name and possibly some inlay. It's a Pygmy Kayak Arctic Tern and glancing in my dictionary I found ysgraell gogledd and ysgraen gogledd as possibilities. I have the gogledd down, but how on god's green valley do you pronounce ysgraen or ysgraell? And what is the difference? Masculine/feminine? Singular/plural? I thought playing off the image of the tern might have great possibilities for some Celtic knotwork as an inlay in the...

Welsh classes on Skype

I have been attending a Welsh class that I found on Meetup.Com and we just did our first session on Skype. It was amazing! I'd never used it before but it almost as good as being there in person. I am encouraging everyone interested to join us. Look for Dysgu Cymraeg on Meetup.com, you might have to look in the Philadelphia area, not sure. Any problems please contact me and I will help. Hope to see some of you there!!! Here's a link:...

Welsh is "unrecognised" on Kindle

04/11/13 08:59:48PM, by Gaynor Madoc Leonard

The Welsh publisher, Y Lolfa, currently has a petition asking Amazon topublish Welsh language books on Kindle. http://www.deisebelyfrau.org/ (bilingual). A report in today'sWestern Mail tells of how Y Lolfa published some Welsh books last year on Kindle but had to describe them as English as Welsh is unsupported on Amazon's Kindle. Languages such as Galician, Catalan and Basque are apparently supported but Kindle has no immediate plans to support Welsh. They have recently accepted a...
