Great article, Anne, and good to see you here!

Let's try again - BlueSky seems a bit flaky at showing posts! I'm Chris, I live in Leicester with my partner Phil and our "visiting cat" Cleo who's here 99% of the time! Medieval astrologer, active in the community.

Hi! Glad to have stumbled on this as I've just joined BlueSky. I'm an astrologer living in Leicester, England, specialising in medieval astrology. I'm active in the Astrological Association here and in local groups. I live with my partner Phil, and our visiting cat Cleo (she's here 99% of the time)!

SSiW didn't run one this year, so in the summer four of us booked an AirBnB in Aberystwyth and did a DIY bŵtcamp!

Last year, I went on a SSiW "bŵtcamp" in Lampeter - ten of us, and no English allowed! Scary at first but a fantastic experience (and no, it's not like a military bootcamp - just a group staying in a house using our Welsh), and a great way of giving you confidence to just "give it a go" in Welsh.

SSiW is excellent and works well with Duolingo, I think (you learn some phrases in SSiW without really knowing what each word means sometimes, and Duolingo gives you the structure).

Shw mae Mark! Chris dw i, a dw i'n byw yn Lloegr hefyd, yng Nghaerlŷr. Dw i wedi bod yn dysgu Cymraeg ers 3 flynedd, nawr astudio ar-lein gyda Coleg Gwent. Safais i'r arholiad canolradd llynedd.

Cyfres gwych! Dw i wedi bod yn dysgu Cymraeg ers 3 flynedd, a dw i ddim yn rhugl eto, felly allai i ddim ddeall popeth - a weithiau dw i'n twyllo a defnyddio'r is-teitl. Yn anffodus, achos dw i'n byw yn Lloegr, mae is-teitl Saesneg yn unig.
