I love Morning (your title is too short!)Usually I am not able to be on SW in the morning. I leave the house before 7 for lifeguard training before college. I am responding to everyone who replies. In an unhurried way. Evenings are quite different. So busy. But mornings are quiet.
I live in the mountains.All around are mountains. They are not high like the Alps. They are old and worn down yet beautiful. They tell us that the Cambrian mountains and the Appalachian mountains were part of the same mountain range, separated now by continental drift. The...See More »
Good Morning and my title is too short.I know it is not morning everywhere. I live in Wales and it is nearly six of the clock. The sun is out. The sky is blue. These things are most unusual. I don't have any lessons in college today but I have a shedfull of homework that needs to be done...See More »
The Valleys. I need to talk about them.Most of you don't know Wales and our culture. Of all the countries in the British Isles we are the country that is known the least. As the UK disintegrates my country will be the last to go. Ireland started to go 100 years ago. I don't think it will...See More »
I fell asleep! Title too short!I was really enjoying chatting away on SW this evening. I was talking to some really lovely people. But I fell asleep! I had been up since 4 and done loads of lifeguard training. Anyway, I am awake again and just looked through all your posts. Thank...See More »
We don't usually have snow just now.Yet my Dad remembers snow on August Bank Holiday. And I remember sitting exams in school in June and the pond outside was frozen solid.
It is Summer. And yes This is a post!It is just after half past six. 18:39. The windows face north. But just now the Sun has crept round. She will be there most of the night. She will go down behind the mountains soon but her light will lighten the sky until it is indigo. And then she...See More »
I'm a Welsh girl.I grew up speaking Welsh. I mostly understand English but some of the stuff people write to me I don't understand.
I have a big family.I am the fifth of six children. We are five girls and one boy. My oldest sister Becky has three boys and a girl. My second sister Jenny has five children. The baby was born the day after my birthday! My third sister Karen lost her husband and is...See More »
I had forgotten what being VIP meant.I had completely forgotten I was a VIP here until I saw my signature on a previous message. I remember the days dealing with adverts mostly of a questionable nature. I don't see those. I can recommend being VIP.
Good Evening. It is 17:09 where I am.I put the time in because SW would have said my title is too short. I got back from college at 4 of the clock. That's 16:00. I spent the next over an hour reading posts and responding. If someone takes the trouble to write, the least I can do is...See More »
Anything you say is important to me.I always look at all the posts you have sent. When I was younger there were often well over 100 every time I logged in. But I read them all and responded if it was appropriate. Today there were only 38. An old lady like me is less interesting! But I...See More »
It is almost midsummer.For weeks now it has been daylight when I go to bed and daylight when I get up to feed the sheep. But soon it will be longest day. End of June I love to tell people the nights are drawing in! They throw things at me!
Good Evening everyone.Today I was in school. I am there once a week. All college students have to get a certificate in Maths and in Welsh. Level 3 like A level. I am level 3 in Maths but my reading and punctuation is level 2 so I got to work at it!
Pool (Title length correct but too short for SW)I chose this category because I was writing about the pool. But I think the Pool group on SW is very different.
Old friends.I just wrote a post about my life on the farm. I hadn't written about it for some time and it caused me to think about people who used to write often but I haven't heard from them. Covid seems to completely changed everyone's friendship groups....See More »
I live on a farm.I live on a sheep farm high up in the hills in Wales. I grew up here with my Mam and Dad and my four sisters and my brother. I am the youngest but one. The others have left home but live quite nearby. They have their own children and have given me 15...See More »
Good EveningToday I spent most of the day at the pool. I arrived at 7.30 this morning for training. Most of the usual people were not there. Just me and the Dean of the university who is so sweet and quite a character. Even though I'm just a student she chats to...See More »
I love writing. I can't stop once I start.I have always enjoyed writing. We wrote essays and a dissertation.
I love SW even if my title is too short!They have looked after me. When I was under 18 they didn't let anyone inappropriate contact me. Even now they are there for me. A man presented himself as my age. Then suddenly he was in his 50's and I challenged him. No He had been that age all...See More »
Good EveningActually it may be morning or afternoon where you are. So good whatnot as my younger sister would say. We are six children. Five girls and our brother. Who protected us fearlessly in school! I am number five. My mother often calls me that. She...See More »
