1st to 31st March
Welcome to the fifth Reading Wales celebration (aka Dewithon 23), a month-long event beginning on Saint David’s Day, during which book lovers from all parts of the world are encouraged to read, discuss and review literature by and about writers from Wales.
For more in-depth information on this reading jolly, head over to DHQ (Dewithon Headquarters), and to see what’s happening this year, please follow this link. You can also share your thoughts and posts on social media by using the hashtags #dewithon23 and/or #readingwales23.
Here we display your Dewithon-related posts. Please leave your links in the comments section below or drop me a line with the URL.
For the curious, the above image shows Point of Ayr Lighthouse on Talacre Beach (Flintshire). Built in 1776, it has featured in a Dulux paint TV advert (along with the company’s Old English Sheepdog mascot) and is said to be haunted.
Mwynhewch ddarllen! (Enjoy reading!)
