Wales Must Be A Great Country, because The Welsh People Holiday There
This term my daughter has been assigned a project at school and her topic is facts and trivia relating to Wales.
My first thought was how boring, could she not have picked somewhere more exciting than Wales.However, I will admit that she has told me a few interesting details about Wales already.
I have already learnt that the name ‘Wales’ actually dates back from the Cymraeg word of Gwalia, which when translated literally means “Homeland”.
Although Wales looks relatively small and is bordered to the east by England, the rest of the country is surrounded by water. To the south is the Bristol Channel, with St. George’s Channel to the west and finally the Irish Sea to the north.
Of course Wales has had it’s fair share of fine actors amongst those are Sir Anthony Hopkins, the very fine Mr Richard Burton and the stunningly beautiful Catherine Zeta Jones.
Of course Catherine has escaped Wales for the delights of the USA, but she often pops back and stays at Hotels in Wales. She has also been known for her Self Catering Wales escapades when she visits her family.
Catherine however doesn’t just stay in Wales, she also enjoys her UK Family Holidays with her celebrity husband and her 2 children.It’s also been know for Catherine and her family to pop into a local pub for their lunch and have a chat with all the locals.
I digress a bit and have come off the subject.This must be something that runs in our family as it would seem that my daughter has problems with this as well.
She has a very vivid imagination and unfortunately when writing essays, stories, etc she goes off at a tangent and loses the whole context of her story.
Funnily enough, only last week her English teacher had severe words with her about the standard of some of her work. It’s funny in my day a vivid imagination was something to praise, not be quashed.
My next instalment on the delights of Wales will follow soon as soon as my daughter gets on with the job in hand.For now though she is quite content writing a short story about killing dragons – probably due to the fact that she has just completed a picture of the Welsh flag!!
