Welcome to my online diary, enjoy your stay!
In November 2005 whilst home recovering from an operation I decided to try and design a web page for White Springs Fisheries in Pontarddulais I soon started adding info on the fishery website page of my community activities, but as I got more and more involved in community projects, I decided to start this blog in order to keep my community activities and involvement seperate to the fishing. You can email me with comments at slloydjanes@aol.com
Info about me

I blogged the other day about my challenge to learn welsh, on Thursday gone I attend my second class this term and we went through learning the days of the week, which i knew one or two but i would not have been able to repeat the whole week in order.
Last night one of my work friends who speaks welsh help me repeat them in the correct order without any books, he reads this blog occassionaly so i stated I would blog my home work and he would kark my attempts or correct me if i made a mistake and he could also have an idea of the speed of my progress, so here it goes my attempt at learning welsh
