Cawsom hwyl ddydd Iau diwethaf wrth i ni gasglu ynghyd i ddathlu Diwrnod Dewi Sant. Cawsom wledd wirioneddol gyda bwydydd traddodiadol Cymreig wedi’u golchi i lawr gyda photiau o de. Roedd ein bwydlen yn cynnwys bara brith, teisennau Cymreig, crempog, a tart cenhinen a madarch a Rarebitt Cymru.
Fe wnaethon ni ddysgu am Dewi Sant a sut y daeth cenhinen yn arwyddlun Cymru. Wrth i ni ddod i ben, fe wnaethom ganu holl adnodau’r Anthem Genedlaethol.
We had fun last Thursday as we gathered together to celebrate Saintt David’s Day. We had a veritable feast with traditional Welsh foods washed down with pots of tea. Our menu consisted of bara brith, Welsh cakes, pancakes, leek and mushroom tarts and Welsh Rarebitt.
We learnt about Saint David and how the leek became the emblem of Wales. As a rousing finale we sang all the verses of the National Anthem.

Leaving the canal we headed across open farmland in Lydiate when the wind really started to blow. Continue reading

Members of the Archeology Group recently visited the Museum of Liverpool, were Jeff Speakman talked about pottery that was found in Lancashire from the 16,17th and 18th century.

Mi aeth y dosbarth Cymraeg am bryd o fwyd i’r ‘Left Babk’ yn Ormskirk dydd Iau diwethaf. Cawsom bryd o fwyd ardderchog, cwmni gwych a dipyn o hud hefo’r cinio. Mi welsom driciau wrth ddisgwyl am ein bwyd ac does gan neb ddin syniad sut ddaru y dyn weneud pethau ddiflannu a newid lle o flaen ein trwynau!!
Roedd cwmni difir i’w gael gyda’r ieuengaf ddim ond yn ddwy oed ar hynaf yn naw deg!
