Assuming by the other thread and the inferred meaning I take from it, there’s nothing wrong with that during the day either…

words with no vowels though, they hurt my brain. How do you even pronounce that?

Cwtch is said like butch.

W is a vowel in Welsh.

In Welsh it would be cwtsh or cwts. Used far more in South Wales. It also means a small space, as in under the stairs, to a space to keep coal, also a safe place for an animal to sleep. The last is where I believe the current version comes from. A mother clutching a child would be a safe place hence a cwtch and this has evolved into the hug thing. Originally from the French coucher according to academics, and cooche was used a century or so ago in Gloucestershire so I doubt if originally from the Welsh language, but adopted and adapted from something else. So Anglo-Welsh.

Just saying like. It was interesting reading up on it!

A good heavy phlegmy chest will always be an advantage. The best Welsh is always spoken in TB wards.

The tiniest Bee you ever did see
A "Small Scissor Bee" feeding in the Bluebells in my garden, these are very small at around 7mm long fully grown

Here it is again with it's parasol, "chillin'" after a meal 🙂

In the UK we have about 270 Bee species, 250 of which are solitary Bees
Next time you watch them feeding, make a note of how different they all are

Here's a Wool Carder Bee from my garden

Terry’s Welsh accent is not very authentic though 😁

@Slowlycatchymonkey and @gymwitch.....Fred has posted a photo of his cock!

If you could look past sheep at other livestock you'd know thats called as a "stag" or in other lands a "gobbler"  

So many opportunities right there 🤣

They all look very different if you actually look but I suppose it's a bit like car drivers "not seeing" bikers, they just don't really look conciously
