Just a thought, but we all need a cwtch now and again. A cwtch is a hug, embrace, snuggle, a comforting embrace. You a bit down or depressed? Come and have a cwtch.

I didn't know that was how you spelt it, but everyone around here has Cwtch-es It was one of the 'new' words I learnt when moving to the Marches.

I have never heard the word, but I need my space, not cuddles. I am not 'touchy/feely' nor very demonstrative.

A cwtch always makes me feel better
But shouldn't it be spelt 'cwtsh' It's a Welsh word, and 'ch' has a different sound in Welsh than it does in English ...

I don't mind how it's spelt, I like cwtches or even cwtshes!

Hywel, in this part of Wales, it is spelt cwtch. Though you have to remember, this area wasn`t a part of Wales until 1957.

Sometimes you need one, Rosie, sometimes there isn't a real reason! Do you need a reason anyway?

I was just making an observation. The sound 'ch' is different in Welsh than in English ... and it IS a Welsh word after all. Different languages have different rules, but I suppose you can Anglicise words if you must - it's no big deal.

Had a thought earlier, Hywel. Doesn`t cwtsh mean kiss?
