People often ask whether the Welsh language is a living language . Today I've been to the hairdresser, bank, 3 shops and I also bumped into 5 people I knew. Every single conversation was in Welsh. Mae'r Gymraeg yn fyw ac yn iach. The Welsh language is alive and well.

People on twitter angry that
@Plaid_Cymru
have secured free meals for primary school children. Angry that 'their taxes' are being used so that children don't go hungry. Angry because 'parents should provide meals and not them'. Shame on you.

When people speak French, Mandarin, Gujarati in front of me in public am I annoyed? No, ofcourse not, because unless I'm a weirdo I don't want to listen in to their conversation. Why do people get annoyed if I speak Welsh in public ? Very odd.

I'm catching up with Friday's show and yes , your name is in the Old Testament. Elis is derived from Elias or Elijah. Your dad wanted your middle name to be from the Bible so you were called Owain Elis. I wanted to name you after Owain Glyndwr.

I didn't break any rules. I spent Christmas 2020 on my own. I didn't see children or grandchildren for a long time. I couldn't see a close family member, who is in a residential home, for months. I kept to the rules to keep everyone safe.

Welsh is their first language. Welsh is my first language and I live in west of Wales. I'm not going to switch to English because someone on the next table wants to listen in to my conversation. Try to be kinder and accept that Wales is a bilingual country.

Over 800,000 people speak Welsh. It's my first language. When I worked at an university I used it every day. My 3 children are bilingual too and speak Welsh in their work. Two daughters work with patients who can feel at ease speaking in their 1st lang. You are so wrong.
