Bechod


I'd arranged to meet some friends in Conwy today for drinks and a troll through the food and music festival set up on it's pretty quayside. Alas the weather and sickness has beaten us and we've had to re schedule.
This afternoon I took Dorothy to a busy cafe to get her used to hustle and bustle
And she behaved wonderfully.

The weather is atrocious
I found Albert hiding away in my bed


The Welsh have a name for both photos
Bechod 
It has several meanings 
" ah bless!" 
Is just one

  4. "Bechod" may also mean "sin" - a concept with which you are no doubt very familiar. As in "Am i bechod wneud ei gartref ynddo fe." = "Because sin resided in him". Just sayin'.

  10. Dorothy and Albert look very happy. Son finds Merida sometimes way under the covers, I wonder how she can breathe tucked away like that.

    Bechod ... ta to all for the helpful translations!

    What a shame that your lovely plans had to be canceled due to miserable weather but how wonderful that Dorothy was so well behaved at the busy cafe. Your sandwiches and soup look delicious.

    Yes, Albert has the right idea!

    Our forecast for tomorrow is morning thunderstorms.

    Hugs!

  15. Spent many a happy holiday in Conwy as a child. My nan was welsh. Born and bred in Conway. She met my grandad during WW2 and moved to Essex after they were married. She tried very hard to unsuccessfully teach me welsh lol.

  21. So glad that Dorothy is adjusting to different environments, I think it's lovely that dogs are allowed in cafe's not many allow that here I asked to take my dog to an outside cafe and I wasen't allowed.
    Bad weather days call for a hearty pea soup.

  25. You're doing a grand job with her, she'll be full of day to day confidence soon at this rate. Cats really know how to spend bad weather days don't they 😄
