I could do all the pics in my next Welsh book with AI, but I believe in paying artists, not stealing from them. If you have a fiver to share so I can pay the wonderful Lizzie Harper for her pics, that'd be grand. Pre-register here: www.kickstarter.com/... Please...

The Welsh/English production of Romeo a Juliet was absolutely amazing. Honestly one of the best productions of Shakespeare that I’ve ever seen. Let myself understand as much Welsh as I could, just peering at Kevin’s translation app when I really needed to. Just a fantastic afternoon.
