A charity's friendship scheme has helped an 83-year-old woman keep her language skills alive.
"The village has changed. The chapels were keeping the Welsh language alive. But that's all changed. It isn't a community any more.
"I tell him, 'You don't have to ring me every Sunday. If there's something else you want to do, well carry on I'll be fine' but he says 'no, I love hearing your stories'."There were also other Welsh speaking families who had moved to the village so she became extremely proficient, also building up her language skills while working at the family's small holding in Y Bont, Ceredigion.
