I'm also English, but have lived in Bridgend for the last 8 years. Love living here, wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Wales is home.

My nain and taid were both Welsh, I can see Moel Famau from the end of my road and I've got a lovely Welsh name....do I count ?:j

I'm Welsh too!!!
originally from Bridgend (where all of my family still live), university in Swansea for 7 years and now live in Manchester.
I'm getting married in October and am bringing my English husband to be, all of his family and English friends back to Wales for our wedding. Wedding breakfast is leek and potato soup, welsh lamb and local desserts - welsh enough! Think I'm over compensating because I'm exiled!
My bouquet consists of daffodils and red roses (for Lancashire where he's from) - and I'm giving little love spoons as wedding favours!

Ooh, we gave chocolate love spoons as favours at our wedding! We got married at The Bear in Cowbridge. It was a great place for a wedding. We had looked into getting married at Castell Coch, but you can only have 26 people (and that includes bride and groom and the registrars!) and the public can still wander around (they just rope off one of the rooms).

Your breakfast and flowers sound good!

I am not welsh by birth, but I spend most week-ends at my caravan on Anglesey and am hoping when my husband retires to live there most of the time. It feels more like home than my house.

I'm from Swansea but have been in England for 30 years! It's strange but I'm sure DD and I are much more conscious of our heritage because we're far away.

Another Welshie here (did you guess from my username:rotfl:) Born and brought up in Gilfach Goch in the Rhondda valley but now living in Cwmbran.

Bronnie, I had a nain and taid too. I guess your ancestry, like my dad's is North Welsh?

Aww! Yes, bless them. My Nain was from Holyhead and my Taid was born in Dolwyddelan. Have just traced his family history back to 1700, Taid descended from a massive clan of Robert's who originally farmed at Cwm Dyli, Bedgellert. I wish I had been as interested in the family history when I was younger and they were still here to tell me the stories.

I'm in South East Wales now, originally a Gog though.
