Default Any Welshies out there

Hi All,

I'm pretty new to this forum, but have been reading the topics for a while.

I was just wondering if there were any Welsh Speakers out there?

Moved to Canada last year, settled in New Brunswick for a year, and now we're looking to move to Alberta. Missing the mountains.

Someone stole my car, see. I came out of Asda with a trolley full of shopping and there it was. Gone!
