Like many of us, I enjoy nights away exploring new parts of the UK. When I book somewhere new to staycation, my planning skills go into overdrive. I need to know what visitor attractions there are, local restaurants, pubs and bars, and the area’s history. The to-do list is created along with a schedule of where we are going and what we are doing. Here are some staycation ideas for 2021.
You would think that people in Wales speak the Welsh language or English, but we also have our own language Wenglish. We add Welsh words to English sentences or use words to give them an entirely different meaning. There are also Welsh slang terms and phrases you will only hear in Wales. I guarantee all words and sayings you are about to read are real.
