"You said watch the birdy, but that's DEFINITELY not a birdy you've got out there..."

"Helen certainly didn't expect her dessert to be delivered on all fours"

Lots more photos on the Cariad@Iaith:Love4Language facebook page! Guess who's wearing stripy tights

Last day at boot camp

Last day at Welsh boot camp ('esgid'). Award Ceremony tonight for best learner. I will neither be presenting nor receiving.But I will be smelly. Wet Wipe Dependent. Have lost bath skill-set tools.

On with the Boot Camp

Still at Welsh boot camp! Task today quite random: skin a rabbit, pop out its down belows n wash it. I passed on supper.

We are on at the earlier time of 8.30 tonight.

Made it to Tuesday!

Am not proud at being exposed as a liar and being feeble re not being tall enough to fit my bike and also raising myself a mere one inch from ground on tree climbing task (I know) I excelled at pizza dough rolling and the placing of vegetables (live in real time) on dough – I won the challenge because Melanie said something Italian sounding –as this is about learning Welsh I’m glad to be part of multi layered celebration of tongues. I’m rocking

Studying hard with Josie Darby

...and with Melanie Walters.

1st day

1st day at Celeb camp for learning Welsh. Extreme anxiety. Can't escape as it would look bad. First lesson puts me at bottom of memory ability but failed to capsize a corracle which is a plus. And in a teepee. Have to make my own fires. Whimper. Melanie helps. She has lived for 2years in a cabin. Lucky me.

Now you know who my fellow Welsh learners are. You can see how we are getting along tomorrow from 9pm.  I'm hoping I can manage a bit more than bore da by then.  We'll see.

Imminent Departure

Oh, Oh. I forgot I meant to loose a stone before I join the Celebs in Wales to do the thing - in our individual tepees.

May be too late – am leaving in few hours and have just had a vegetarian Samosa in the Iceland car park without paying (the car park – you can get away with it).

Stress means I might have upset some kind professionals who are trying to help me – so at least that’s not a worry but a symptom of stress.

Saw Dick and Dom on Breakfast TV publishing themselves in Horrid Henry the film – bless
I’m in it too http://www.cinema.com/film/11746/horrid-henry-the-movie/cast.phtml but play RICH AUNT RUBY which might be of interest – although Rupert Murdoch and the red head are burying my good news today – fair enough

Have got excessive new wardrobe of glamping country casuals strewn across the floor for packing in bag.

I love it here will I love it there? Only if I take wet wipes.

Love4Language is on:
Sky: channel 134 or Freesat: channel 120 from Friday 8th July 20.25, then EVERY NIGHT Saturday 9th –Friday 15th July - http://www.s4c.co.uk/cariadatiaith/e_index.shtml

at last ! THE EMBARGO IS OVER - am prepping to be dropped into the Fforest Camp in Cilgerran in Pembrokeshire. (This is in Wales.) I may opt for driving there to be honest, in normal clothes - but it's still jungle meets … err ....?

Wales S4C are FILMING my every move - so must check which jeans I pack. i.e. over Tee shirts -no bum reveal.

It's like  ' Celebrity Big Brother' - with lessons . 4 hours studying of Welsh per day- using "an innovative language learning technique" possibly involving some kind of coercion - like being denied wine? - lets hope I don’t lark about or get my usual attention deficit.

But the very good news is you can watch me and other marvelous folk on: Sky: channel 134 or Freesat: channel 120 from Friday 8th July 20.25,  then EVERY NIGHT Saturday 9th -15th July REVEALING ALL which may (or not) be a thing of great beauty. Don’t forget to series link it
and -for total geek dexterity I’m going tweet - follow Twitter @HelenLederer  or join the select personnel on my  Facebook Page and blog. My highly trained team of techno carers and social workers   will enable this miracle. (big Pleeease to them).

And the OTHER CLEBS? I know!!! for sheer and understandable excitement see this link http://www.s4c.co.uk/cariadatiaith/e_index.shtml

This is me practising being 'in the zone' with Welsh writer Paul Burston
