As soon as I saw "Mair" I said to myself Aha "Welsh Wales"!!
I noted from your profle however that your declared "home page" was:-
http://www.gofannon.co.uk/
but it now seems to be an ex-site (how exciting!!)
but several copies of it are archived at for example:-
http://web.archive.org/web/200408122...ofannon.co.uk/
not that visiting that page will do anybody much good as it is writted in either Double Dutch or possibly triple Welsh

However I was pleased to read:-
"Roedd gormod o ofn arni i weiddi am help"
and finally
"Helpwch fi - plis! - unrhywun - helpwch fi! - Helpwch fi!”

To be strictly fair Mair's fair page is headed in the vernacular
"A new novel for people learning Welsh
Includes an MP3 CD of the entire novel"
I well remember visiting the RAF base near to Cardiff known as "St Athan" to the English and had a genuine chuckle when I noted that on the brick walls either side of the gate was writted
the base name in English on one side as "St Athan" but on the other side a presumed exact Welsh translation "S Tathan".
Maimntenance on an RAF Tornado there
I believe the base is now closed or going to be so this prime example may be there no longer
