Cawl's a traditional Welsh stew made with root vegetables and most importantly, lamb - Welsh lamb is the best in the world - and leeks.
Caernarfon castle stands proudly next to the Menai Straits. Edward 1 of England initiated its building in 1283 as a definitive part of his plan to control Wales. The first English Prince of Wales was born in the castle in 1284 and in 1969 the investiture of Charles as Prince of Wales took place there. It's a magnificent building and a recognised World Heritage Site.
Closer to home, one of George's favourite walks is in Clyne Woods.

Caernarfon was my first [UK] castle visit, and I have such fond memories of Wales.
Some day I hope to visit Wales. So many wonderful places to explore!
I'm so hungry for lunch and there it is staring me from the computer...vicarious lunch.
Great post.
The Cawl sounds and looks absolutely delicious! It looks like it warms and soothes the soul. I am sitting here nursing a sinus infection and wish I had a bowl right now!
Great series of shots for the letter C. The stew looks tasty.
Thank you for showing this photo of Caernarfon Castle.We were there also when we stayed in Wales during our holidays.It was impressive!
I love a good stew - I make it with beef because lamb is very expensive here and if I'm going to have some I'll make rack of lamb. I can hardly wait to see the castle and some of the area around Swanswea.

I'll pass on the cawl--I don't eat lamb--but I'd love to see Caernarfon! Clyne Woods looks like an inviting place for a walk, too.
Today children, we focus on C,
as in Cthulhu,
a very Welsh-looking word ;-)
"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" ;-)
Lots of lovely Cs.

O wel wel! Nes i TGAU yn Gymraeg (grad A) fi'n bolyglot ynte!
(In answer to your query yeah I got an A in GCSE Welsh and speak conversational Dutch Thai Japanese and some Chinese as well as A Level French and German bear in mind I really haven't applied myself as I should have to any of this which is why I doggedly soldier on with Chinese and Japanese I am absolutely determined to speak both fluently and to be able to read a novel in them.
shit i forgot to point out "conversational" extends litle beyond "where is this" "my name is..." "how are you" "how much is that" type stuff except in Welsh which I got a pretty good grounding in. Not thanx to my Welsh teacher; thanks to Teach Yourself Living Welsh!
