In Dolgellau many Mums walk the kids to school then
congregate in
local caf for panad afterwards, a very sociable arrangement.

That's good news but how many people here know that "panad" is
colloquial Welsh for a cuppa? :-)

I didn't, but it was easy enough to work it out from the
context, and it's increased my vocabulary by one more word.
Thank you, Elaine.

FWIW the Gaelic equvalent is "strupach".
