Well, here's another book I got on my Welsh travels ....I like the link between "travels" and the French "travail" = work. Yes, there's a lot of truth in that. But moving on ..... here's the front cover of a massive ( bigger than A4 ) book I got ... it's a book of Welsh board games ... Welsh in the sense that all the wording, all the instructions are in Welsh. They were turned into Welsh by a certain Dylan Williams from the original ideas by a whole load of people, including Quentin Blake. I had to photograph the cover because it's yet another Welsh book that the internet doesn't seem to know about. By the way, this is going to be Terrific for your Welsh and Terrific For your Eyes too..... Apart from anything else, it's a bloody beautiful thing ! Here's one of the games .... a real work of art ..... I'm going to show you some of the pictures in detail. This one is one of those games where you roll a dice and move through the winding path, but you have to obey the instructions on some of the squares. Doesn't it look lovely ! Here's the rules for a start .... .... and here's some of the beautifully drawn steps along the way .... this is No 10 ... get translating folks, they're smashing ... Beth am hynny !
