I’ve been doing a lot of multilingual songs involving French this term. A fully functioning accordion is essential in my opinion 😂 however mines got several dodgy notes. An hour, lots of swearing and coffee later et voila, back in business.

Diolch yn fawr iawn @beccaleigh99 @RuthyCocks and everyone at @BCouncil_Wales for the opportunity to help bring Cerdd Iaith to Nantes. Merci beaucoup – at Nantes, France

@moonunderpod @robinallender following on from the misappropriation of cutlery theme, I was shocked to discover no less than nine different styles of teaspoon in my cutlery drawer. Bless me father, for I have sinned. – at Cardiff, Wales

You think you’ve got problems? You’ve no idea! I’ve just been through my cutlery draw and discovered that I have nine different types of teaspoon. How did that happen? – at Cardiff, Wales

@StDavidsCiWPrm Year 4,5 and 6, having learned a song about ‘La Tortilla Española’ I thought you’d like to see that I’m in Spain (Madrid) eating some. I can confirm that it’s, ‘Muy sabrosa’! – at Yeste, España
