Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 180ºc/160ºc Fan/375F and line two-four baking trays with parchment paper. Mine are quite large trays (40cm) to make sure the cookies don't touch!Mix together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy and thoroughly combined! Using an electric mixer is far easier for this because it gets very fluffy and perfect!
• Mix in the vanilla and the egg until thoroughly combined, then mix in the cocoa powder, flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt until a thick paste/cookie dough is formed.
• Fold in the chocolate chips, and spoon the mixture onto the trays (makes 16-17) and make sure they are suitable spread out so they stay separate! (I usually fit 6-8 on each tray to be safe) I also use a 5cm cookie dropper/ice cream scoop to make them identical sizes.
• Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until spread out perfectly crinkly. A minute or so less will be gooey, a minute or two more will be beautiful and crunchy. 
• Once baked, remove from the oven and gobble them all up – don’t burn yourself on the chocolate!

Welsh Histories

 

Welsh Histories

 

Here is a Welsh alphabet poster titled "Y Wyddor" ("The Alphabet") which dates all the way back to 1900.

The contents of the poster is based on the alphabet of the great antiquary T.C. Evans of Llangynwyd (unrelated but a home of the Mari Lwyd). It was also illustrated by his son, Christopher Evans... and I think he did a fine job!

The poster was a staple of Glamorgan schools throughout the early twentieth century, a time of mini revival for the Welsh language within classrooms following the previous Draconian measures (such as the Welsh Not) to eradicate it in the preceding decades and centuries.

“Dogs die. But dogs live, too. Right up until they die, they live. They live brave, beautiful lives. They protect their families. And love us. And make our lives a little brighter. And they don't waste time being afraid of tomorrow.”
