@Gillo, I haven't explored it as much as I would like, but the place speaks to my soul. (Scotland too). As far as I know (and DNA results) my father is 98% Irish, but he could've been Anthony Hopkin's stunt double in the Marvel universe. I think we have some Cymru in us,

@Ginger - I'm lucky that visiting relatives in Glamorgan as a child meant I learnt how to pronounce the language well before I could understand it! I once drove to visit my mother with the GPS voice on. ::shudder:: Never again.

My mother's family were all South Wales people. My father's were originally from about 40 miles west of here - his father went to a school in central Birmingham, but they were West Bromwich people originally. My parents ended up in Llandudno because of Dad's job.

I love that you are studying Welsh @GillO. My family trying (and failing hurt-your-ears appallingly) to pronounce Welsh on a road trip remains a running joke years later.

I wouldn’t exactly call that settling, lol! I think I read some crossover fic early on when I came back to the fandom.

@Ginger, would you settle for Jack and Spike? @Gillo, I didn't know that about your parents - so, you didn't grow up there, but they did? Now I understand why you're studying Welsh.

@Naimh, my mother was Welsh, from Glamorgan, though she and my father spent their last years near Llandudno in the north. That's why I'm learning Welsh. It's a beautiful tiny country.

It's all about where they can get a venue in their price range. And mid-Wales is actually easier than extreme North or South of the country for actual Welsh people. It was in Telford for several years, and that just ain't Cymru!

Why not Cardiff, home of the Torchwood Institute? And now Ginger is picturing Captains Jack and John having a snog and she’s gone all stupid… 😋

Wales Comic-con was in Newport this time - which is genuinely in Wales, so that's an advance on Telford!

Ooh, where in Wales? Was nowhere near but it’s one of my favorite places in the world and it’s fun to picture him there. ;-)

I just bought a ticket for the Slay the Vampires 4 con in Paris in October. It's my third attempt to see and meet James Marsters. Last year he cancelled German comic con 48 hours before and this spring I chickened out of going to Wales because the war had just started. Wish me luck this time!

Sorry folks, no update of Welcome to the Jungle today. Am seriously thinking of writing some extra scenes so while I think of that, I'll hold off posting it. Tomorrow gets a new chapter of Baby Love.

Eight more members and SAD will reach 400!! We should all promote the site somehow. Twitter, tumblr, twonker, twiddle-dee-dee, whatever social media, and then this site would be ON FIRE. I'm just so proud of the moderators for building such an awesome site!

Re Twinkles, I’m going to have to go back and reread the whole thing now. There are worse fates. 🤷🏻♀️

Ok, guys, because I love you I’m going to share something my partner treated me to because I’ve had a crap week and I’m grumpy. The prompt was ‘What live show(s) have you seen that stuck with you and why?’ The kids among you will probably have to Google some references. Happy Friday!
