That one up there, despite appearances, was not the easy ride I had expected. Oh no. Its subtitle is " llyfr am ddŵr " and it's a pretty thorough words-and-pictures explanation of how water gets from the sea, up to the clouds, down as rain, down the mountains into the rivers, out of the rivers into treatment works and through lots of pipes to our kitchens and bathrooms.
It's got quite a few technical words, at least one of which I could only find in a REALLY BIG DICTIONARY. Briwsion. It's even got a little glossary at the back explaining some of the words and phrases.
See if you sort out some of these little gems ...

With a dramatic clash of gears, we change to Anrhefn and "Rhedeg i Paris "
By the way, Mrs Spring was, of course, a cleaner. Think about it.
